After circulating to buyers for several years, Martin Scorsese's upcoming mob picture, The Irishman, was finally picked up by the newly founded STX Studios for international rights.

According to Deadline, The Irishman has been adapted for the screen by one of the best screenwriters working today — Steve Zaillian (Gangs of New York) — from the Charles Brandt book I Heard You Paint Houses, which is the deathbed story from mob hitman Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran about the disappearance and death of the former Teamsters union boss Jimmy Hoffa.

Variety reports that The Irishman will reunite Scorsese with Robert De Niro for the first time since 1995's Casino. It will also mark his first collaboration with Al Pacino. Joe Pesci may join the project, but the actor is not yet attached, according to sources.

We’ll keep you updated on The Irishman as we hear more.
