They are known as quiet, somewhat introverted figures despite their legendary status in the film industry. But Robert De Niro and Al Pacino find themselves, perhaps a bit uncomfortably, back in the spotlight as they participate in a publicity tour for director Martin Scorsese's highly anticipated crime epic "The Irishman", which opens in select theaters November 1 before streaming on Netflix, which financed the $160 million production. The film marks the third occasion in which the two stars appeared on screen together. The first occasion was Michael Mann's superior crime thriller "Heat". All but forgotten was the lambasted buddy cop movie "Righteous Kill". With both stars- and Scorsese- earning some of the best reviews of their careers for "The Irishman", the New York Times had writer Dave Itzkoff sit down with them while in London for a publicity jaunt. What follows was an interesting and often amusing interview.
