Lockdown has had an impact on everyone around the world, including our favourite celebrities and filmmakers.
Famed director of Raging Bull and Goodfellas, Martin Scorsese, is one of those people. And he's translated his lockdown experience into a short movie, showing tonight (28th May) on the BBC as part of its Lockdown Culture series.
Presented by Mary Beard, the series presents a spectrum of global stories that detail the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Scorsese made the film in his New York Home, a radical change of pace from the recent The Irishman, which used extensive (and expensive) CGI to de-age Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Al Pacino.
Deadline reports that Precious and The Butler director Lee Daniels will also be contributing, given his thoughts as to why this could be a watershed moment in Hollywood history.
Lockdown Culture is playing on BBC Two on 28th May at 7PM. Don't forget that if you miss out, you can catch up later on BBC iPlayer. In the meantime, here's a reminder of one of Scorsese and De Niro's greatest achievements.
