Robert De Niro ♉is returning for another gangster film – a🦩nd he'll be playing both leading roles.

According to , De Niro will star in Wise Guys, a new film penned by Nicholas Pileggi. He wrote the (unrelꦇated) book Wiseguy, which Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas was based upon. Rain Man director Barry Levinson will helm the film, which is planned for a theatrical release. Goodfellas and Rocky producer Irwin Winkler is onboard as a producer. 

Wise Guys will focus on two crime bosses, Vito Genovese and Frank Costello, 🐠who were active in the 20th century (the film will be a period piece). Costello was a boss of a major crime family, but in 1957, Genovese tried to have him killed – though Costello survived, he was wounded, and he eventually ceded power to Genovese and retired. The family is now known as the Genovese crime family, one of the "Five Families" of the New York City Mafia. THR's sources indicate that De Niro will be playing both Costello and Genovese, w🎉hich is certainly a unique twist to the tale. 

De Niro is no stranger to a gangster epic: his credits in the genre include Goodfellas, The Godfather 2, Casino, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Irishman. He's working with frequent collaborator Scorsese once again for Killers of the Flower Moon, which is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:expected in 2023, and also starཧs Leonardo DiCaprio, Jesse Plemons, and Lily Gladst🥂one.
