"There are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and Martin Scorsese making a new movie. Nearly 60 years since his debut feature Who's That Knocking at My Door, Scorsese continues to be a powerhouse, a director whose name is synonymous with prestige and quality in equal measure. Even after all this time, the 82-year-old director is still hard at work, as implied by actress Emily Blunt, who is set to star in Scorsese's next untitled feature."
"In February 2025, Deadline summarized the project as thus: "Imagine Robert De Niro's Jimmy the Gent character from Goodfellas, but as a ruthless Hawaiian crime boss, based on a real figure, who battled encroaching rivals for control of organized crime in Hawaii." The movie is loosely based on real events, when crime families moved into Hawaii to lay claim over the new state."
Martin Scorsese is developing an untitled mob film set in 1960s and 1970s Hawaii. Emily Blunt is attached to star, with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Leonardo DiCaprio slated for leading roles. The project is described as Goodfellas-esque and is loosely based on real events following Hawaii's transition to statehood. The narrative centers on a ruthless Hawaiian crime boss who battles encroaching rivals and fights to preserve his homeland. The screenplay is currently being written and the film is in active development, with casting and story-building underway under Scorsese's direction.
