If you can't get Marin Scorsese then Michael Mann is not a bad replacement. Mann will direct Frankie Machine as a star vehicle for Robert De Niro.
I know I have posted about this before, but here is the story one more time. The drama is an adaptation of Don Winslow novel "The Winter of Frankie Machine." De Niro will play Frank Machianno, a mob hitman who has retired to run a bait shop. He agrees to help the son of a mob boss resolve a dispute with another Mafioso but is forced to turn into Frankie Machine again when he realizes he's been set up to be killed. De Niro and Mann previously teamed for 1995's Heat.
