Martin Scorsese almost quit Hollywood after ‘Gangs Of New York’

Martin Scorsese has said he almost quit making movies after directing Gangs Of New York. The director, who worked on the movie with lead actor Leonardo DiCaprio, locked horns with the 2002 film’s now disgraced producer, Harvey Weinstein, with whom Scorsese wrestled over the length and the budget of the film. “I realised that I couldn’t work if I had to make films that way ever again,” Scorsese told GQ. “If that was the only way that I was able to be allowed to make films, then I’d have to stop. Because the results weren’t satisfying. It was at times extremely difficult, and I wouldn’t survive it. I’d be dead.
