Filmmaker Martin Scorsese continues to get in trouble with the fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Clearly, Scorsese isn't concerned. After calling those movies "theme parks" and "not cinema" he has asked the theatre owners to renounce these movies.

At the BFI London Film Festival, Scorsese expounded in a statement saying, "The value of a film that is like a theme park film, for example, the Marvel pictures, where the theaters become amusement parks. That's a different experience. It's not cinema. It's something else. Whether you go for it or not, it is something else. We shouldn't be invaded by it. And so, that's a big issue. And we need the theater owners to step up for that. To allow theaters to show films that are narrative films. A narrative film can be one long take for three hours, you know? It doesn't have to be a conventional beginning, middle, and end.`

Scorsese was at the film festival to promote "The Irishman" starring Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Al Pacino in leading roles. It is based on Frank Sheeran's memoir 'I Heard You Paint Houses'. 'The Irishman' is the story of an aging hitman Frank Sheeran (Robert De Niro) who recalls his possible involvement in the disappearance of labor leader Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino) a\d his involvement with the Buffalino crime family.

"The Irishman" will have a limited theatrical release in New York and Los Angeles on November 1. More screen will be added in both the United States and the United Kingdom on November 8, before finally becoming available to stream on Netflix on November 27.
