14 October 2009 12:58 PM, PDT | MovieSet.com | See recent MovieSet.com news »
While promoting the production of ‘The Irishman,’ we’ve found there are many disparate niches of fans for this film. For example, Vincent D’Onofrio, Christopher Walken, Val Kilmer, Ray Stevenson and many of the other actors have dedicated fan groups and dozens of fan sites and busy message boards.
Ray Stevenson as Danny Greene in 'The Irishman'
There are folks who have a personal association with the Cleveland mob wars and others who care mostly that the film is made in Detroit. Then of course, there are mafia movies fans And also the historians and researchers who adeptly chronicle every nuance of the situations, characters and compare/contrast the reality with the movies.
A perfect example of the latter is the New Criminologist who published an deep-dive article into the story by Ron Chepesiuk called The Irishman: Inside an Upcoming Major Hollywood Mob Flick.
