Scorsese Breaks His “Silence” On His Next Project
One of the best things about Evri is that you start with one little tip of the “entity web” and you can just keep browsing for a long time, finding out more than you expected about things that you love or hate (or love to hate). This is the first post in a new category where we dig deeper on various topics using Evri.
I was excited today when I saw Martin Scorsese hit our zeitgeist list on the home page. Lots of interesting new information about his next project, “Silence.” The movie is based on Shusaku Endo’s masterpiece from 1966, Silence. The book, about Catholic missionaries in 17th century Japan, concerns many of the themes Scorses has explored in differing ways in earlier films. Plenty of guilt, redemption, and violence here.
And the cast! Daniel Day-Lewis and Benicio Del Toro are on board right now.
I am a big movie fan, and a Scorsese fan as well. But, ever since I had a kid I am way behind on my movie news. So, not only was this the first time I read about this project but I also found out that Scorsese has another movie coming out this year — Shutter Island, based on the novel of the same name by Dennis Lahane. Some good preview trailers on the page too.
Finally, for this tour, I was reminded that Benicio del Toro is in the remake of The Wolfman, coming out soon. I am cautiously excited about this, being a big fan of Lon Chaney Sr. and the original 1941 version. We’ll see in April.
