‘I Hope God Gives Me…’: Martin Scorsese Reveals If He Is Planning To Retire From Filmmaking Anytime Soon

by

As a devoted cinephile who has had the privilege of witnessing the evolution of cinema through the masterful lens of Martin Scorsese, I can confidently say that his retirement is a prospect as enticing as a cold slice of pizza left out in the sun – it simply doesn’t make sense. At 81, he is not only defying the conventional wisdom of when to hang up the director’s hat, but also continuing to push the boundaries of storytelling with his unique vision and unparalleled craftsmanship.

Martin Scorsese, now 81 years old, remains determined to continue making movies, and there’s no sign of him retiring from filmmaking in the near future. Scorsese received an award from Italy’s Museum of Cinema during a ceremony held in Turin on October 7th, putting an end to any previous speculation about his retirement.

As a lifestyle expert, I can assure you that Martin Scorsese has put to rest any doubts about his career’s future. He is actively engaged and fully immersed in his current projects. At the moment, he is directing a fascinating documentary on ocean archaeology, which is being filmed in various locations across Italy.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Scorsese expressed that he won’t be departing from the film industry any time soon. He reaffirmed his passion for filmmaking and hinted at more stories yet to be told in the future.

In October 2023, Scorsese’s latest production titled “Killers of the Flower Moon” hit the screens. The star-studded cast includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Lily Gladstone, and Jesse Plemons. This Western crime drama follows Mollie Burkhart, a member of the Osage Nation, as she navigates between true love and unimaginable deception in her attempt to protect her community from a series of murders driven by oil and greed.

This year, Martin Scorsese produced a brief movie featuring Timothée Chalamet for the luxury French brand, Chanel, earlier on.

Scorsese’s upcoming documentary, set in the Sicily region, explores the research conducted by underwater archaeologist Lisa Briggs. A key aspect of her studies involves analyzing DNA discovered on artifacts retrieved from shipwrecks along the Sicilian coastline.

On September 24, it was reported that Martin Scorsese postponed the shooting of his next two planned films, one about Frank Sinatra and another on Jesus Christ. The film about Jesus is still in development, but the Sinatra biopic, which had Leonardo DiCaprio cast as Frank Sinatra and Jennifer Lawrence as Ava Gardner, has been shelved. Scorsese initially aimed to start the Sinatra project in November, but those plans have since been put on hold.
