By With Netflix’s “The Irishman” and Apple Studios’ “Killers of the Flower Moon,” Martin Scorsese has done two big-scale dramas involving a lot of extras in various scenes.
Don’t expect to see much more of that, says the filmmaker, who participated in a Q&A event at the Jacob Burns Film Center in Pleasantville, New York, last night.
Scorsese was on hand for a screening of his Powell and Pressburger doc “Made in England” and mentioned he’s working on a “limited series” that he wants to fully direct from start to finish – not just the pilot like he did for HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire” and “Vinyl”.
Then came the kicker, he apparently revealed that he “doesn’t really want to do another big movie with lots of extras ever again.
Late last year it was indicated Scorsese was seriously considering co-directing a film adaptation of David Grann’s nonfiction book “The Wager” which follows the 1741 mutiny after the shipwreck of the HMS Wager. That would qualify as a big movie, and a difficult one with a water shoot.
He also reportedly added his adaptation of Marilynne Robinson’s novel “Home” is likely to be the next film after he wraps his currently casting Jesus Christ movie.
