"Gangs of New York" marks the sixth collaboration with Scorsese, whose Bernstein-scored films include "The Grifters," Academy Award-nominated "The Age of Innocence" and "Bringing Out The Dead."
Based on a book by Herbert Asbury, "Gangs of New York" is an epic drama that chronicles the criminal exploits of gang members, outlaws, crooked cops and corrupt politicians who flourished in New York City's underworld in the middle of the 19th Century.
