NEW YORK — Acclaimed movie director Martin Scorsese has reached a five-year deal with Miramax Films to direct and produce projects with the movie studio.
Scorsese, whose movies include “Raging Bull,” “Goodfellas” and “Taxi Driver,” has entered a “first-look” deal to develop films that will originate with him or come from Miramax, the movie studio said Saturday. Miramax is a unit of Walt Disney Co.
The deal is an extension of Miramax’s collaboration with Scorsese on “Gangs of New York,” which recently completed production. The deal also includes a five-year first-look agreement with Scorsese’s producer, Barbara DeFina.
“That Marty would choose to make Miramax his creative home is everything that I have always wanted and imagined,” said Harvey Weinstein, co-chairman of Miramax.
