Are you ready for a return to Goodfellas? Deadline reports that AMC will develop Martin Scorsese’s classic 1990 mob movie as a potential weekly series, and though Scorsese (who directed the pilot of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire) isn’t involved with the project, the network did manage to secure returning player Nicholas Pileggi to script the show and Irwin Winkler to produce.

Irish Silent Film From 1910

Boy meets girl. Boy emigrates.

A tale as old as time.

From the TCD film archive:

The Lad from Old Ireland (1910) is regarded by some as the first American-produced fiction film made outside the USA… It may have been the first integrated fiction film made in Ireland. The available print, with intertitles in German, ends with the penultimate scene, at the cottage.
