For him, making a movie is like a normal person going to Sevs for cigarettes, right? Not a heavy decision – but it should be. He's not a special effects kind of actor. Why can't he have a pact with David Fincher, people like that? He can't be that crazy.

My theory: making that masterpiece broke De Niro like Apocalypse Now broke Coppola, leaving him never the same since. Now he just wants a paycheck (though he turned down Edge of Darkness, makes you wonder what that took when Righteous Kill was do-able…). That article almost justifies his Rocky & Bullwinkle. But, yeah, we want him to do "I Heard You Paint Houses" with Martin Scorsese. It's time for a credibility comeback and it wouldn't hurt.
