Netflix's New Mobster Movie From Martin Scorsese Has An Epic Runtime

Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese's new mobster movie, The Irishman, is a very long film. It's been reported that the movie will run for a whopping 3 hours and 30 minutes.

That makes it Scorsese's longest movie ever, according to IndieWire. At 210 minutes, The Irishman is longer than Wolf of Wall Street (180 minutes), Casino (178 minutes), Gangs of New York (167 minutes) and Goodfellas (147 minutes).

The runtime for The Irishman comes from the movie's New York Film Festival page, which notes that the length is subject to change. Given the movie doesn't officially release until the end of November, it is possible that the runtime may change. The movie premieres at the NYFF on September 27, before having a limited theatrical run starting on November 1. It then widely premieres on Netflix on November 27.

The Irishman is based on the Charles Brandt book "I Heard You Paint Houses." The film stars Robert De Niro as Frank Sheeran, who returns from World War II and joins the mob as a hitman.

Al Pacino plays the union boss Jimmy Hoffa, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Joe Pesci, who along with De Niro starred in Scorsese's Goodfellas and Casino, also appears in The Irishman.

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been

After Pitching Dragon Age Musical DLC, David Gaider Is Finally Getting To Make His Musical Game

Dragon Age lead franchise writer David Gaider is making a new and intriguing-looking musical adventure game Chorus . As it turns out, the veteran game developer--who left BioWare years ago--has been thinking about making a musical game for a long time. In an appearance at the GameSpot Theatre today at PAX Aus about his new game and studio, Gaider said he in fact pitched musical DLC for Dragon Age during his time at BioWare. The musical Dragon Age DLC could have taken place inside the metaphysical Dragon Age realm called The Fade, he said. It was a semi-serious, semi-joking pitch, Gaider said, but whatever the case, it never happened. Gaider is now getting to realize that dream. His new game, Chorus, is a musical adventure game where they big story beats play out through song. Gaider is working on Chorus with Summerfall managing director Liam Esler (former Obsidian, Beamdog developer), while prolific voice actress Laura Bailey (Uncharted, Gears of War) is voicing the main character.
