The film, which has been in development for nearly a decade, has been described as a “passion project” for veteran director Martin Scorsese, who won the 2007 Best Director Oscar for "The Departed."
Hoffa, played by Pacino, disappeared in 1975. This was put down to the notorious Teamster’s mob dealings. He was declared dead, in absentia, in 1982.
The star-studded cast, which includes a number of frequent Scorsese collaborators, also includes Joe Pesci as Russell Bufalino, Harvey Keitel, Bobby Cannavale, Anna Paquin, and Ray Romano. The film boasts a whopping $160 million budget.
