These two giants of American cinema have shared a lot of success. Some of the classics they have worked on together include Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Cape Fear and Casino, their last collaboration in 1995.
Last weekend at the Berlin International Film Festival, Scorsese did not hide his desire to reconnect with the famous actor. "Bob De Niro (and I) are talking about something that has to do with that world," Scorsese said at the premiere of his new psychological thriller at the festival on Saturday.
"There’s no doubt about that," he added. "We’re working on something like that, but it’s from the vantage point of older men looking back, none of this running around stuff."
Scorsese was in Germany promoting his new film, Shutter Island, a psychological thriller starring another of the filmmaker’s favourites, Leonardo DiCaprio.
Robert De Niro has won two Oscars during his brilliant career. He was awarded a Best Actor trophy for his work in the film Raging Bull, directed by a certain Martin Scorsese in 1979.
