Movie based on this blockbuster book.
Christopher Walken
LOS ANGELES, May 7, 2009 (Hollywood Reporter) — Ray Stevenson, Christopher Walken and Val Kilmer will play the leads in “The Irishman,” which is based on the real story of mobster Danny Greene
Greene was a violent Irish-American gangster who competed with the Italian mob in 1970s Cleveland and ended up provoking a countrywide turf war that crippled the Mafia. Stevenson will play Greene. Walken will play the loan shark and nightclub owner Shondor Birns, and Kilmer is cast as a Cleveland police detective who befriends Greene.
Jonathan Hensleigh, who co-wrote and directed “The Punisher,” will direct the action film. He and Jeremy Walters (“Dali”) wrote the screenplay, which is inspired by the book “To Kill the Irishman: The War That Crippled the Mafia” by Rick Porrello. Code Entertainment is producing the film.
Congrats to Rick Porrello . Also, Chris Walken loves to tell the story of how a black guy walked up to him and said, “you are the coolest white-man-gangster in the movies “
