Martin Scorsese’s made so many motion pictures with Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio, that he’ll by no means be carefully related to actor Daniel Day-Lewis. But keep in mind: Day-Lewis starred in two Scorsese movies, together with one among his finest and most underrated works: The Age of Innocence. Day-Lewis was nominated for an Academy Award for his different Scorsese film, that being Gangs of New York, the place Day-Lewis performed the unforgettable Bill “The Butcher” Cutting.
Day-Lewis retired from performing a number of years in the past, however he confirmed up ultimately evening’s National Board of Review awards dinner to current the Best Director award to Scorsese for his work on Killers of the Flower Moon. After paying tribute to the filmmaker, Scorsese himself took the stage and accepted his award from Day-Lewis. And when he did he made an fascinating remark.
We did two movies collectively, and it was one of many biggest experiences of my life,” Scorsese famous earlier than including, “Maybe there’s time to do one more?”

I used to be lucky sufficient to be within the room at Cipriani’s forty second Street final evening for the National Board of Review awards, and when Scorsese stated that, the entire room let loose a collective gasp, adopted by large spherical of applause. It was the one second like that the entire night.
Now whether or not Day-Lewis might be coaxed out of retirement is a complete different story. And Scorsese himself shouldn’t be precisely a spring hen; he lately turned 81 and he’s already engaged on his subsequent movie, a mission about Jesus Christ based mostly on a novel by Shūsaku Endō — the identical Japanese creator who penned the supply materials that Scorsese used as the premise for his 2016 movie Silence.
So I’d say the percentages of a 3rd Scorsese/Day-Lewis are lengthy at finest. But when that crowd gasped and applauded at Cipriani’s final evening, I used to be proper there with them.
