Casino: The Cast and Characters (2005)
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
Director Martin Scorsese, writer Nicholas Pileggi, editor Thelma Schoonmaker and producer Barbara De Fina are joined by cast members Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci, Sharon Stone and Frank Vincent as the talk about the casting of the movie. Clocking in at twenty-minutes this here is a very fun featurette that offers you some insight into the characters as well as how the actors wanted to perform their roles. The cast interviews are mainly promotional stuff but they're still fun to see. Scorsese gets some great moments discussing the characters and what he wanted to get out of them. The highlights are the behind-the-scenes footage, which shows Scorsese working with the cast and we get some great stuff with Don Rickles telling some jokes and being who you'd expect him to be.
