It’s been a long 12 years for Reid, bringing this film into fruition, but with a stellar cast and crew, The Irishman has the potential to be one of the epic gangster movies of our time. Ray Stevenson brings to life the exact qualities of Danny Greene’s robin-hood-type persona and the creative vision of Jonathan Hensleigh has united everyone’s efforts in a way only he can.

The Irishman Synopsis

main 180x267 Ray Stevenson discusses his character Danny Greene in The IrishmanThe Irishman chronicles the rise and fall of infamous Cleveland gangster Danny Greene (Ray Stevenson), who engaged in a power struggle with the Italian mob.  Greene was as an upstart longshoreman union rep and later became a cocky, legendarily difficult-to-kill troublemaker in the world of organized crime in the 1970s.

Based on the real story of mobster Danny Greene, Christoper Walken will play the loan shark and nightclub owner Shondor Birns and Val Kilmer is a Cleveland police detective who befriends Greene.

The incredible ensemble cast includes Vinnie Jones, Marcus Thomas, Linda Cardellini, Laura Ramsey, Paul Sorvino, Mike Starr, Tony LoBianco, Vinnie Vella, Steve Schirippa, Jason Butler Harner, Robert Davi and Fionnula Flanagan.

This is accomplished through the charismatic acting of Ray Stevenson and Director Jonathan Hensleigh’s work on the screenplay. Bart Rosenblatt gives us a little insight into the life of Danny Greene and by the look of The Irishman behind-the-scenes videos, this untold story is going to be a killer!

jkdpzw 560x420 The Irishman Blows Up in Detroit, Cleveland and Beyond

Cast taking a break or acting? Looks like a good Bar-B-Q either way

Some are excited that films are coming to stimulate the Michigan economy, others are ticked off that Ohio didn’t offer tax breaks to the production and missed out. Many come with an interest in the mob and mafia in general while others were “there” during the bomb wars in Cleveland and one man was mentored by Christopher Walken’s character Shondor Birns and expresses his point of view on the scruples of the real-life characters. Then there are the Vincent D’Onofrio fans – legions of rabid enthusiasts with an apparently insatiable appetite for VD’O pics and videos.

To help you explore all the facets of this particular Irishman’s story, here’s a clearinghouse to browse through and enjoy. But first, we’ve were scooped! Some wily filmmakers in Detroit stealthed onto set to capture an explosion and got the eye of MLive.com’s Jessica Nunez who wrote ‘Behind the scenes on ‘The Irishman’s’ Detroit set‘, on July 01, 2009:

MovieSet.com, an online social movie network that often gets exclusive rights to behind-the-scenes footage of major motion pictures, just posted production videos of “The Irishman,” which is filmed in Detroit and stars Christopher Walken and Val Kilmer.

According to PR Newswire, MovieSet’s videos are the “first-ever behind-the-scenes footage” of the film.

That’s not exactly true. Remember this pyrotechnic car explosion near Eastern Market that local production company Slickfire caught on film?

Big ups to Slickfire.com (@slickfire on Twitter) for staking out the set and catching some great guerrilla style coverage. Be sure to watch til the end when the firemen come out to douse the smoldering embers. Will be extra cool to see that shot in the movie after seeing how it was put together.

Ms. Nunuez provides some insight to the man who tells us about the explosion:

“Regardless, the MovieSet videos are based on interviews with some of the crew members, including lead makeup artist Kimberly Jones and transportation coordinator John White, who’s sporting a Detroit GM shirt and whose accent says he’s probably a southeast Michigan native.”

MovieSet.com Exclusive: Next up from the set of ‘The Irishman‘ filming in Detroit is another MovieSet exclusive video featuring actor Vinnie Jones who plays character Keith Ritson in this real-life story of an Irish/Italian mafia conflict in Cleveland. You might recognize the (thuggish looking) UK-born actor from his roles of ‘Big Chris’ in’Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’ or the Manchester United freak-fan ‘Mad Maynard’ in ‘EuroTrip’.

In between takes with actors Christopher Walken, Vincent D’Onofrio and Ray Stevenson, Jones talks about his enthusiasm over the film’s script, the dynamic between the Director Jonathan Hensleigh and the rest of the cast plus points out Ray Stevenson’s presence in the lead role and their rapport in developing their roles. He also describes his character’s plot situation as a union guy who helped Danny Greene bring the 200+ garbage companies in Ohio under one organization, often by using violence as a tool of persuasion.

Trevor as the Cleveland Kid in The Irishman

Trevor as the Cleveland Kid in The Irishman

I really enjoyed being on the set of the Irishman. It was an amazing experience! This movie was a perfect fit for me because I am half Italian and half Irish. I loved working with Ray Stevenson and Johnathon Hensleigh. It was great. I liked watching Danny Greene’s car blow up !!! It went about 20 feet in the air!

MovieSet.com Exclusive: From the set of ‘The Irishman‘ in Detroit comes a MovieSet exclusive video featuring actor Ray Stevenson who plays the lead character Danny Greene in this real-life story of a mafia conflict in Cleveland.

Amongst clips of the on-set action, Mr. Stevenson discusses the personality of his character saying he was a loner but also very charismatic. He points out that people called Greene “the Robin Hood of Collinwood” as he gave away turkeys at Thanksgiving and Christmas to show that, “It wasn’t about the money, there was a higher goal.”

Stevenson points out that, (unlike other gangster movies) “… these people actually have lives so it kinda matters when they die – even though they are on the wrong side of the law.”

He discusses Greene’s style including green suits, green pens and the importance of the costumes in the film. Finally Stevenson points out the exceptional script which attracted him to the project and gives credit to the entire crew of The Irishman saying, “this film belongs to everyone from the drivers to the people who made the food.”

In this MovieSet.com exclusive clip, Christopher Walken sits down between takes on the set of The Irishman filming in Detroit to discuss his role as Shondor Birns. In the interview, the noted actor refers to himself the “world’s worst impersonator” and points out, “I don’t know what the real Shondor was like but the one in the movie will be a lot like Chris.” Mr. Walken also mentions the familial atmosphere on set of The Irishman since he’s worked with some of his fellow actors previously in New York.

See the full Christopher Walken interview and enjoy more exclusive video clips from The Irishman on MovieSet.com.

Shondor Birns and the Cleveland Mafia

Christopher Walken describes Shondor’s situation in the movie, “He was  big figure in Cleveland … Shondor has some guys working for him who get arrested and he needs some help so Danny (Greene played by Ray Stevenson) gets into it. He also relates his tendencies of playing “people that were” in movies and notes his surprise at learning that Shondor Birns was a real person – after accepting the role.
