De Niro and Scorsese discuss Taxi Driver sequel
Screen legend Robert De Niro has reunited with iconic director Martin Scorsese to work on a sequel to their classic movie Taxi Driver.
The Oscar-winning actor, who starred as disturbed Vietnam veteran Travis Bickle in the 1976 film, has confirmed the movie veterans are mulling over script ideas for a follow-up to the gritty original.
Apart from his comedy turn in Meet The Parents and its recent sequel
Meet The Fockers, De Niro has starred in a series of flop films, and critics are hoping Travis Bickle's resurrection will restore his reputation as one of the greatest dramatic actors of all time.
De Niro, 61, says: "I was talking with Martin Scorsese about doing what I guess you'd call a sequel to Taxi Driver, where he is older."
