Definitely, but you have to bet that part of the reason STX plunked down $50 million was the allure of having the movie that would bring back the trio behind “Goodfellas,” “Casino,” and “Raging Bull.” Not to mention it makes marketing a slam dunk as well. All that said, Scorsese is still hoping to twist Pesci’s arm and get him to appear in the movie, and if anybody can convince the actor to get in front of the camera again, it’s likely to be his old friend. [/QUOTE] Seems like he's ready to be done with films.
Eh, I'm fine with it being just De Niro, Pacino and Keitel. If Pesci's retired, he's retired
Damn pesci eat a snickers, you act a little pesci when your old Jokes aside, if he really doesn't want to do movies he doesn't have to, it's probably a tough commitment. Its weird how some actors retire by just not accepting anything anymore like gene wilder who Spielberg is supposedly trying to coax out for ready player 1
I hope that he will return for this as his last movie.
At least his last performance was pretty nice [video=youtube;jl_9ayxs69A]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jl_9ayxs69A[/video]
