3 Apr
Summary
- Scorsese may film 'Midnight Vendetta' mafia movie in December.
- Film to explore Sicilian mafia's 1890 arrival in New Orleans.
- Project details historical crime drama and a notorious lynching.
Martin Scorsese is reportedly in pre-production for a new mafia film, tentatively titled 'Midnight Vendetta.' Industry reports suggest filming could commence in New Orleans as early as December. This project would mark the director's second film of the year, following his current work on 'What Happens at Night.'
The historical crime drama 'Midnight Vendetta' is described as focusing on the arrival of the Sicilian mafia in New Orleans around 1890. The narrative is expected to culminate with the assassination of Police Chief David Hennessy and a subsequent mass lynching, themes deeply resonant with Scorsese's directorial legacy.
While 'Midnight Vendetta' is being eyed for a December shoot, Scorsese is currently occupied with his thriller 'What Happens at Night,' which features an ensemble cast including Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence. Neither film currently has a confirmed release date, but anticipation is high given Scorsese's acclaimed filmography.
