Martin Scorsese has created a docu-series for Fox Nation

Why, Martin?

Gross

Let's hear what Robert De Niro has to say about this.

Et Tu, Marty?

I'm surprised at this.

Only ONE HOUR?

R5 8 1-hour episodes equals 8 hours.

I am fucking floored by this. I knew he had reconnected with his Catholicism, but FOX???!!!??? This means he is apparently right-wing, no?

"Marty? Lily here. Have you considered including Sacajawea?"

There's already a native American saint, Kateri Tekakwitha.

Yes, I'm apparently the target audience for this. The lives of the saints are fascinating, you can learn a lot about history from them.

Sebastian, the patron saint of homos, could be interesting. Shame there's no Teresa of Ávila, she's the only one I like.

[quote]Scorsese is the latest big name to work with Fox Nation, which has previously worked with the likes of Kevin Costner, Matthew McConaughey, Rob Lowe, Dennis Quaid, Dan Aykroyd and Jim Belushi.

Eugh to all this.

R9, I totally agree, I actually do enjoy studying how people lived, especially people who felt they had a purpose. But I am floored by his judgement. Won’t this damage his legacy? He is in the homestretch, he could drop dead tomorrow, this seems like a risky move that will tarnish his brand right before he kicks the bucket.

He's taking it out on the libs for that horrible KotFM snub at the Oscars.

See ya, Marty.

He’s been a douche the whole time.

Well, as long as they show THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST too...

^ LMAO!

Remember when the Christian right protested Last Temptation of Christ?

Security checked my backpack when I went to see "Last Temptation" because there were so many protests and threats from nutty Bible thumpers. It has some great cinematography, but it desperately needed an Anne Baxter or Shelley Winters to liven things up.

Which may explain why he's getting into religion now. And maybe nobody except Fox wanted this?

Sounds like just his name attached to it. I guess he could be down low Conservative because Catholic. And he could need the money.

And yet he sits on the footage of the SCTV reunuion that he shot almost 10 years ago.

I didn’t know he filmed an SCTV special. Maybe he got religious xl because his wife I think has dementia.

[quote]Sounds like just his name attached to it.

He hosts, narrates, and exec produces the whole thing.

I think he's having a crisis of faith in his old age, seeing all the increasing secularism in the world around him, and so this project is more to soothe himself than for anyone else.

When I first read the thread title I misunderstood it as Scorsese made a documentary *about* not for Fox News/Nation which would make more sense.

If he's really getting back into Catholicism, maybe this is a scared old man facing the end of his life frantically trying to be penitent for making the LTOC. Fear leads people to do odd things and maybe he thinks he needs to atone for his sins to avoid hell and minimize time in purgatory. I guess it makes sense to him.
