Martin Scorsese finally has put his two favorite actors,
Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio , in an "upcoming
short film," but really it's a commercial for
two new casinos: Studio City in Macau, China and City
of Dreams in Manila, Philippines! In the "trailer,"
De Niro and DiCaprio are running lines by themselves,

the news to them that they're both up for the same
part in a casino-based film.
