Goodfellas Cast Reunite For 25th Anniversary Screening

The stars of Martin Scorsese’s classic manly movie Goodfellas, Debi Mazar, Paul Sorvino, Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta and Lorraine Branco (from left to right) 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.

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.  I wonder what it is about Pesci, he pretty much fell off the radar and shunned his former career.

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’.

Goodfellas, eh?
