“The Irishman” movie began production this past fall, and already it is attracting huge attention: It is directed by Martin Scorsese, who defined the gangster movie genre but who has not made a gangster movie in more than a decade, and it features an iconic line-up of stars, including Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci, who is coming out of retirement for a role in it. It has a budget of more than $100 million, and its 2019 release promises to be a major movie event. And it started here, in Sun Valley, with the book I Heard You Paint Houses by local resident (and Library regular!) Charlie Brandt.
