BINTANG-BINTANG pendukung film gangster klasik 1990 karya Martin Scorsese, Goodfellas mengadakan reuni di New York pada Sabtu malam untuk memperingati 25 tahun sejak ditayangkan, dengan perayaan meriah sekaligus penutupan Festival Film Tribeca ke-14.
Aktor Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro, Lorraine Bracco dan Paul Sorvino hadir namun sutradara Scorsese berhalangan hadir karena sedang syuting di Taiwan dan Joe Pesci, yang memenangkan Oscar untuk Aktor Pendukung Terbaik pada 1991 atas perannya sebagai Tommy DeVito, tidak muncul.
'Joe Pesci tidak bisa hadir di sini, tapi ia mengirim email ini: 'F ***, F ***, F ***, f *** ity f ***, f *** ' yang dibacakan aktor De Niro, memperingati Goodfellas di Teater Beacon. "Saya akan menerjemahkan," kata De Niro bergurau, "Ya Bob, maaf saya tidak bisa hadir di sana. Salam sayang untuk semua, Joe..."
Sutradara Scorsese dan produser Irwin Winkler mengirim pesan video buat mereka yang hadir di acara reuni.
"Saya ingat preview adalah salah satu pengalaman terburuk dalam hidup saya - kami merindukan Anda dan mereka kini berada di California. ... Tampaknya bahwa penonton harus siap mendapat kejutan, meskipun banyak kontroversi," kata sutradara, seperti dilansir MailOnline.
Dia melanjutkan pesannya untuk mengingat bagaimana ia dan penulis skenario Nicholas Pileggi tidak lagi diterima di restoran Italia favorit mereka setelah film dirilis - karena mengungkap bagaimana kehidupan mafia Italia-Amerika - karena pemiliknya marah.
THE STARS of Martin Scorsese's classic 1990 gangster film Goodfellas reunited in New York on Saturday night for a very special 25th anniversary screening of the movie which brought the 14th annual Tribeca Film Festival to a close.
Stars Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro, Lorraine Bracco and Paul Sorvino were all in attendance although director Scorsese was filming in Taiwan and Joe Pesci, who won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 1991 for his turn as Tommy DeVito, didn't show.
'Joe Pesci couldn't be here, but he sent this email: 'F***, f***, f***, f***ity f***, f***' read De Niro, introducing the screening at the Beacon Theatre. 'I'll translate: "Dear Bob, sorry I can't be there. Love to all. Best, Joe.'"
Scorsese and producer Irwin Winkler sent video messages to the audience.
'I remember the previews were one of the worst experiences of my life — we had three of them and they were all in California. ... It seemed that the audience had to be prepared for what it was, but there was a lot of controversy,' said the director.
He went on to recall how he and screenwriter Nicholas Pileggi were no longer welcome at their favorite Italian restaurant after the movie - and its depiction of Italian-American mobsters - upset the owners.
