‘I hope God gives me the strength to make more movies’: Scorsese addresses retirement rumours


Director tells press conference he has ‘more films to make’ after long-planned Frank Sinatra biopic and adaptation of Shūsaku Endō’s A Life of Jesus both get delayed

Martin Scorsese has denied he is planning to retire, telling a press conference in Italy that he has “more films to make” after reports surfaced in September that two long-planned projects had been postponed. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Scorsese, 81, was speaking before an award ceremony in Turin and countered rumours he was no longer making films. Two weeks ago Variety reported that two major Scorsese feature films, a biopic of Frank Sinatra and an adaptation of Shūsaku Endō’s 1973 novel A Life of Jesus, have been put on hold.
