Scorsese and De Niro working together again.

Paramount Pictures have got screenwriter Steve Zaillian (Schindler's List, Hannibal, Gangs of New York, American Gangster) to adapt Charles Brandt's book "I Heard You Paint Houses" for the great Martin Scorsese to direct.

It gets better. Robert De Niro has already signed on to play Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran, a reputed criminal who has carried out more than 25 mob murders. The story follows the mob assassin who many believe was involved in the death of Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa.

I Heard You Paint Houses refers to the mob slang for contract killings, and the resulting blood splatter on walls and floors.

Now Scorsese has been making good films lately and De Niro has not. Hopefully, having the two of them together making another gangster movie should mean we get some cinematic gold.

What do you think? Excited?
