"They are going to do a presentation of our film the way it should be, in a theatre, in certain venues, the best theatrical venues there can be.
"How they resolve it is, in the beginning, they will show it on the big screen, we’re talking about big venues where it would play, where it should play, and what happens after that I’m not sure."
What is Scorsese's The Irishman about?
The film is based on the Charles Brant novel I Heard YouPaint Houses and follows a union official Frank Sheeran (Robert De Niro) whose friend Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino) was murdered by the Mafia.
The film is expected to feature a young De Niro and Pacino, thanks to the wonderful benefits of CGI, and will feature the actors in various flashbacks.
