Stop the Presses: Scorsese to direct mob film

I know, I can't believe it either.

While being interviewed this week at the Berlin film festival, journalists asked the veteran director of such classics as Mean Streets, Taxi Driver and Goodfellas if he intended to produce another mobster flick. Scorsese answered in the affirmative to a collective sigh of relief from the crowd of journos. And you'll never guess who is attached to star. Bob De Niro. Talk about taking risks! Here is what the director had to say.

"De Niro and I are talking about something that has to do with that world - there's no doubt about that. We're working on something like that, but it's from the vantage point of older men looking back, none of this running around stuff."
