2002's Leonardo DiCaprio film GangsOfNewYork is becoming a TV show with Martin Scorsese returning to direct the first two episodes.
Gangs of New York is becoming a TV show with Martin Scorsese set to direct. Scorsese adapted the 1927 non-fiction book The Gangs of New York as a feature film back in 2002. The brutal depiction of 19th Century New York City and its rival street gangs starred Daniel Day-Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, Liam Neeson, Brendan Gleeson and John C. Reilly.
Gangs of New York indeed occupies a special place in Scorsese’s filmography as an exploration of his favorite city during a fascinating and little-understood time in its history. At other points, Scorsese has depicted a more contemporary New York in classic films like Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, After Hours and Bringing Out the Dead.
Could Gangs of New York TV Show Be Better Than the Movie? Despite Scorsese’s direction and a cast featuring acting heavyweights like Day-Lewis, DiCaprio, Diaz and Neeson, Gangs of New York is not considered one of the best Scorsese films. Indeed, the movie today carries a 72% Rotten Tomatoes score, which is not bad for a regular movie but is surely low for a director as acclaimed as Scorsese.
Though it will certainly be an advantage having more hours to work with, one thing Scorsese won’t have this time around is Day-Lewis, who in Gangs of New York the movie gave one of the great villain performances of all-time as Bill The Butcher.
