“My wish for next year is to get my friends Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio together. Not for pasta - in a movie directed by me. I’ve done eight films with Bob, four with Leo. They are my friends and collaborators. Now I want to join them up. It’s my dream. And I’m going to make it happen.” — Martin Scorsese (Rolling Stone, 2011 In Review)

The Scary $295 Million Hit -With cinematographer Robert Richardson in Shutter Island’s madhouse “Those places were genuinely weird. That’s an abandoned hospital where you could feel, from the walls, the pain and the suffering that it contained.” -Conversations with Scorsese, Richard Schickel (via Hollywood Reporter).

The Aviator: The movie Warren Beatty and Spielberg tried to make  “It was scary to do a picture about Howard Hughes. His obsessive-compulsive disorder is like the labyrinth that he gets stuck in – sort of like the Minotaur. He’s got wings, like the ones Daedelus makes for his son Icarus.” Conversations with Scorsese, Richard Schickel (via Hollywood Reporter).

THE A-Z OF MARTIN SCORSESE L - LEONARDO DICAPRIO Their first collaboration came about almost counter-intuitively: DiCaprio’s cachet was a big factor in getting Gangs Of New York greenlit in the first place, while it was actor who pitched the idea of The Aviator to director, not the other way around. He’s likely to be back for more soon in either Sinatra or the mooted remake of The Gambler, itself an adaptation of a Dostoevsky novella. In the latter he’s rumored to playing the title role, a step into James Caan’s shoes. “Leo has said I’m a mentor to him”, says Scorsese, “but, you know, he’s willing to take chances, to go anywhere emotionally”. Expect plenty more of the same in the future with DiCaprio now officially filling what used to be known as ‘The Robert De Niro Role’ on the Scorsese teamsheet. Empire Online

Every time Marty steps on set he brings with him an unmatched knowledge and respect for the art of movie making. He’s transcended his own admiration of movies to become his own unique artist, a master film-maker and a generous patient teacher. It’s hard to believe we’ve only been watching movies for the last one hundred years while other art forms have been around for thousands. As we look back in history, there are those names that truly define their own medium. Picasso, da Vinci, Shakespeare, Beethoven - to name a few, and a thousand years from now as the history of film unfolds there will surely be one name for future generations that is synonymous with master filmmaking and the word “cinema” and that name is Mr. Martin Scorsese

THE A-Z OF MARTIN SCORSESE A - THE AVIATOR “I love movies”, Martin Scorsese once said, “it’s my whole life, and that’s it”. Here’s glorious evidence of that unquenchable passion, an unashamedly old-fashioned and cinematic look at the life of possibly the only man more single-minded than him. It’s a visual feast full of money shots. From the recreation of the shoot of Howard Hughes’s Hell’s Angels, a movie Scorsese admired, in the arid California desert, to the (kinda) take-off of the Spruce Goose, a flying-boat as sleekly aerodynamic as a beached whale, to the tycoon’s attempt to park a biplane on a suburban rooftop.
