<\/a>By Larry Henry<\/strong><\/p>\nAn upcoming Netflix movie on labor leader Jimmy Hoffa\u2019s disappearance continues to generate buzz even though the film is not expected to come out at least for another year.<\/p>\n
One topic of conversation: When exactly will director Martin Scorsese\u2019s movie \u201cThe Irishman\u201d be released?<\/p>\n
I recently sent an inquiry to Netflix about the release date and received an email response on Aug 27, stating the movie is set to come out in the fall of 2019. That reflects what has been reported for some time.<\/p>\n
However, a recent Facebook post by investigative journalist and author Dan Moldea raised questions about whether the film might be delayed.<\/p>\n
In the Aug. 18 post, Moldea noted that Eric Shawn, a Fox News anchor and senior correspondent, told him the movie \u201chas been postponed.\u201d There was no indication how long it might be delayed.<\/p>\n
Shawn is preparing a two-hour documentary about Hoffa\u2019s 1975 disappearance that was supposed to coincide with the release of the movie but now is expected to air anyway fairly soon, Moldea wrote in the post.<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite the delay, Eric, relentless as always, plans to air his work — for which I have been interviewed at length — later this year,\u201d Moldea wrote.<\/p>\n
The movie is centered on the 2004 book \u201cI Heard You Paint Houses\u201d by former prosecutor Charles Brandt.<\/p>\n
Robert De Niro has been cast as Delaware Teamsters official Frank \u201cThe Irishman\u201d Sheeran, an organized-crime hit man who claimed to have killed his friend Hoffa on orders from Mafia bosses. Some in the underworld were unhappy that Hoffa, after serving time in prison, was attempting to regain control of the Teamsters and expose the union\u2019s Mob connections. Hoffa\u2019s disappearance has never been solved.<\/p>\n
Moldea contends the killer wasn\u2019t Sheeran but instead was New Jersey Teamsters business agent Salvatore \u201cSally Bugs\u201d Briguglio.<\/p>\n
In July, I explored the debate over the Scorsese movie in detail on The Mob Museum website. Click here.<\/a> \u201cI am going to lose that fight,\u201d Moldea wrote, \u201cbut I will be in there, fighting.\u201d<\/p>\n Larry Henry\u2019s YouTube channel includes videos he shot of mob sites in Las Vegas, the apartment building in Santa Monica, California, where Whitey Bulger was arrested, and the remote Arkansas airport where Barry Seal transported drugs into the U.S for the Medellin Cartel. <\/strong><\/em>Subscribe HERE<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n [si-contact-form form=’2′]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [AdSense-A] By Larry Henry An upcoming Netflix movie on labor leader Jimmy Hoffa\u2019s disappearance continues to generate buzz even though the film is not expected to come out at least for another year.

\nMoldea noted on Facebook that when the Scorsese movie comes out placing Sheeran as the killer, \u201cthat simple false fact will become history.\u201d<\/p>\n
