According to the New York Post, the 62 year-old actor, who openly proclaims his love for the city of New York, has been talking with the paper’s owner, Arthur Carter, about such a transaction.
De Niro, who starred in the films Goodfellas, Taxi Driver and The Deer Hunter, among others, would work with film producer Jane Rosenthal and her husband, Craig Hatkoff, on the project. The three have worked together on the Tribeca Film Festival since 1990.
