MovieSet.com, the pioneering movie site that takes fans behind the scenes of major motion pictures while still in production, has just released the first-ever behind-the-scenes footage and stills from the set of THE IRISHMAN starring Ray Stevenson, Vincent D’Onofrio, Val Kilmer and Christopher Walken.

Code Entertainment’s production of THE IRISHMAN chronicles the rise and fall of infamous Cleveland gangster Danny Greene (Ray Stevenson), who engaged in a power struggle with the Italian mob in the 1970s. The movie is currently being shot entirely in and around Detroit, MI. Production continues through mid-summer. The film is slated to be released in 2010.

“We are thrilled to be able to offer fans behind-the-scenes access on the sets of major motion pictures like ‘The Irishman,’” states MovieSet President and CEO, Colleen Nystedt. “This is a terrific partnership and I couldn’t be happier at the way the production has embraced the technology to help build their core audience during production.”

MovieSet.com partnered with THE IRISHMAN to build awareness of this gripping crime drama directed by Jonathan Hensleigh (“The Punisher”). While on set, the unit publicist is working closely with production to capture compelling behind the scenes footage daily, including interviews with key cast members, production staff and special effects crew.

“MovieSet.com is a smart, new marketing tool for filmmakers,” says Executive Producer Jonathan Dana. “We at ‘The Irishman’ are happy to be a part of this wonderful new technology.”
