It goes without saying that the anticipation for Martin Scorsese's new film 'The Irishman' is pretty damned high, particularly considering the actors that he's working with.
It's been nine years since Scorsese and Al Pacino worked on a film together, for example, while Robert De Niro is on board as the titular 'Irishman', and Joe Pesci has officially come out of retirement to star in the gangster film that sees "a mob hit man recalls his possible involvement with the slaying of Jimmy Hoffa."
Pacino is playing labor union leader-turned-gangster associate Jimmy Hoffa in the film, and now the first pictures of him on set - alongside De Niro and Scorsese - have leaked.
See them below:
