If this comes to fruition then it will be my most anticipated film whatever year it is released. Martin Scorsese is attached to direct and Robert De Niro set to play Frank "the Irishman" Sheeran in I Heard You Paint Houses, an adaptation of the book about the mob assassin who many believe was involved in the death of Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa.
Steve Zaillian is writing.
The title refers to mob slang for contract killings, and the resulting blood splatter on walls and floors. The book was written by Charles Brandt, who befriended Sheeran shortly before the latter’s death in 2003. Among the crimes Sheeran confessed to Brandt, according to the 2004 book, was the killing and dismemberment of Hoffa, carried out on orders from mob boss Russell Bufalino.
