See Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro in Martin Scorsese-directed casino commercial (Video)

Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio haven’t made a movie together with Martin Scorsese, but they have made a commercial with the director. Considering the amount of money they were paid just to appear in the short, they might not need to do a movie together.

DiCaprio, Scorsese and DiCaprio filmed two commercials for the City of Dreams Manila, an extravagant new casino in the Philippines. Both were filmed in two days and are made to look like typical Scorsese trailers, with a fast pace and quick shots.

According to The Film Stage, the second commercial even features a short cameo from Brad Pitt. That’s certainly a strange way to get Pitt into his first Scorsese project.

Scorsese was reportedly given $70 million to play with to make the commercials and the two actors, who “compete” for the same role, were paid $13 million each.

SlashFilm pointed out that the trailers are for a short film called The Audition, which will be produced by Brett Ratner. In a press release, the producer called it a “historic event because it is the first film ever to star such legendary actors as Robert De Niro, Leonardo Dicaprio and Brad Pitt in one film together.”

You can check out one of the trailers, which was posted at Time, below.
