The Oscar-winning actress couldn’t be more pleased with her role in the Martin Scorsese directed mob film. 

Despite the social media uproar, Paquin loved her role even though she only said seven words. 

The veteran actress who played Robert De Niro’s daughter in the Netflix drama said, “It’s very endearing when people think they are fighting a fight on your behalf, but not really necessary. I’m incredibly happy. I have such a tiny little role in the film, and I was so excited to get to be a part of it in the first place, and all of this [awards recognition] is just the icing on the cake.”

It basically all came down to seizing the opportunity to work with the acclaimed filmmaker. 

“I just can’t picture any actor on the planet going, ‘Yeah, I don’t want to work with Martin Scorsese and every single living legend in our field.'”

The film launched on the streaming giant on November 27 after it had a limited theatrical release. According to Ted Sarandos, Netflix’s chief content officer, more than 26 million global accounts (26,404,081, to be exact) watched at least 70% of the Golden Globe-nominated mobster film in its first seven days on the platform. 

Sarandos added that Netflix expects about 40 million account holders to watch the film over its first 28 days. 

The Irishman, which stars Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci in the drama detailing the life of mob hitman Frank Sheeran, garnered a Golden Globe best drama nomination earlier this week.

“It’s a good mark of quality — both for the industry and for consumers, meaning you want to be at that place where all the good stuff is happening,” Sarandos added. “Creators mostly want to be in the culture… and Netflix can do that like nobody else.”

The Martin Scorsese mob epic is three and a half hours long, but the acclaimed director says it wouldn’t have worked better as a limited series instead of a movie.

And it all has to do with all that de-aging technology. 

“You could say, ‘This is a long story, you can play it out over two seasons’ — I saw somebody mention that,” the director said. “Absolutely no. I’ve never even thought of it. Because the point of this picture is the accumulation of detail. It’s an accumulated cumulative effect by the end of the movie — which means you get to see from beginning to end [in one sitting] if you’re so inclined. A series is great, it’s wonderful, you can develop character and plot lines and worlds are recreated. But this wasn’t right for that.”

And in case you haven’t watched it yet — do it!

Martin Scorsese’s mob epic, tells the story of mobster Frank Sheeran, played by Robert De Niro, the man who claims to have killed Jimmy Hoffa, played by Al Pacino. The duo is joined by Joe Pesci as criminal overlord Russell Bufalino. The film used state-of-the-art de-aging technology on its trio of stars. 

Also starring in the film is Ray Romano, Harvey Keitel, Anna Paquin, Jesse Plemons, Stephen Graham, and Bobby Cannavale.

If you don’t already know how the story ends, let us tell you that the clip is a lot more revealing, with some pivotal scenes including Al Pacino’s Hoffa getting in a car with Sheeran’s De Niro knowing he should fear for his life, especially when one of the mobsters tells him not to worry, “We’ll bring you back after to get your car.”

The Irishman is currently in theaters and is set to debut on Netflix on November 27.

The first look at Martin Scorsese’s Netflix film The Irishman finally gives us a look at the film’s characters with Robert De Niro as mob enforcer Frank Sheeran, Joe Pesci as the ruthless crime syndicate boss Russell Bufalino, and Al Pacino’s Jimmy Hoffa.

The film follows Sheeran from his mid-20s to his 80s with the aid of de-aging visual effects technology.

De Niro told Fallon: “They didn’t want it to get in our way. And Marty didn’t want that … They had all kinds of cameras taking pictures, a special camera photographing us,” De Niro said of the de-aging process.

The long-gestating passion project for Scorsese was written by screenwriter Steven Zaillia (Schindler’s List, Gangs of New York). It also stars Ray Romano, Bobby Cannavale, Anna Paquin, and Jesse Plemons.
