This is bad news. According to Collider Martin Scorsese has dropped out of making Frankie Machine, his upcoming film that was going to re-team him with Robert De Niro. It seems quite likely the production will fall apart without his involvement.

For those who hadn’t heard of “Frankie Machine,” the film was being made at Paramount and the original title was “The Winter of Frankie Machine.” The story was about a retired hit man and back in March of this year, Variety reported that “Ocean's Thirteen” screenwriters Brian Koppelman and David Levien were writing the screenplay for De Niro before Scorsese got involved.
