Apple and Martin Scorsese are becoming frequent collaborators, with the legendary director helming Killers of the Flower Moon and also guest acting in hit comedy The Studio. Scorsese’s next appearance will be in the five-part docuseries Mr. Scorsese, here’s the Apple TV+ release date and first clip.
Mr. Scorsese hits Apple TV+ this October
Martin Scorsese was recently nominated for an Emmy. Not for directing, but rather acting.
His hilarious guest appearance in The Studio was one of the series’ most impressive cameos.
But Scorsese will be spending even more time in front of the camera in Apple’s new docuseries: Mr. Scorsese.
Mr. Scorsese will release on Apple TV+ on Friday, October 17, per a new press release.
The five-part series hails from director Rebecca Hall and offers a wide-ranging look at Scorsese’s prolific career in film, and the man himself.
Here’s Apple’s official summary, and a very funny first video clip:
“Mr. Scorsese” is a film portrait of a man through the lens of his work, exploring the many facets of a visionary who redefined filmmaking, including his extraordinary career and unique personal history. With exclusive, unrestricted access to Martin Scorsese’s private archives, the documentary series is anchored by extensive conversations with the filmmaker himself and never-before-seen interviews with friends, family and creative collaborators including Robert De Niro, Daniel Day-Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mick Jagger, Robbie Robertson, Thelma Schoonmaker, Steven Spielberg, Sharon Stone, Jodie Foster, Paul Schrader, Margot Robbie, Cate Blanchett, Jay Cocks and Rodrigo Prieto, along with his children, wife Helen Morris and close childhood friends. From acclaimed director Rebecca Miller, “Mr. Scorsese” examines how his own colorful life experiences informed his artistic vision as each film he made stunned the world with originality. Starting with his New York University student films and continuing to the present day, this documentary explores the themes that have fascinated Scorsese and informed his work, including the place of good and evil in the fundamental nature of humankind.
The clip above tells the story of Taxi Driver almost being vetoed by the powers that be due to its extreme violence, and Scorsese’s (joking) threat of violence in return.
