Much was made in the trade press of the time was the decision to use Gevacolor in an industry which had been dominated by Eastmancolor. I went up to north Queensland. The Irishman is a true story, that's what actually interested me about it. It's based on Elizabeth O'Conner's husband's father. She wrote it at a place called Forest Home Station, in the Gulf just out of Georgetown. I went to the place where she wrote the book and sat on the verandah. She had just sat there and wrote what she could see. I can't remember the fictional name of the station, but it was actually Forest Home, and her husband, Phil, was the manager and his father was the teamster. Plumb, Ali (October 1, 2015).

The Irishman is the ninth feature collaboration between De Niro and Scorsese and their first since 1995's Casino; the fourth film to star both De Niro and Pacino (following The Godfather Part II, Heat, and Righteous Kill); the seventh to star both De Niro and Pesci (following Raging Bull, Once Upon a Time in America, Goodfellas, A Bronx Tale, Casino, and The Good Shepherd); the first to star both Pacino and Pesci; and the first time Pacino has been directed by Scorsese. Scorsese said of finally working with Pacino, "I'd been wanting to work with Al for years. Francis Coppola introduced me to him in 1970. Then he's in The Godfather one and two, and he's in the stratosphere. For me, Al was always something unreachable. We even tried to make a film in the 1980s but couldn't get the financing for it. I said, 'What's he like to work with?' Bob [De Niro] said, 'Oh, he's great. You'll see.'" Scorsese added that there is a meta aspect to seeing Pacino and De Niro interact in The Irishman, saying, "What you see in the film is their relationship as actors, as friends, over the past 40, 45 years. There's something magical that happens there." [54] Filming [ edit ]

Though not all that long I will say it does a decent job getting into how the technology works (starting with these special cameras that also get mentioned a lot in the previous two supplements) and then how they had to properly capture a variety of expressions from the actors to make sure they could replicate their performances as exact as they could. Though I could look past a lot of them there are issues around the effects in the end product, yet despite that I still found it a fascinating look into not only the technology but the art that went behind it.
