Martin Scorsese Reveals Next Film Will Be Mukbang Of Leonardo DiCaprio Eating 5-Gallon Bucket Of Mac And Cheese

NEW YORK—Claiming it would be the artistic culmination of his entire filmmaking career, acclaimed director Martin Scorsese confirmed Monday that his next movie would be a feature-length mukbang of actor Leonardo DiCaprio eating a 5-gallon bucket of macaroni and cheese. “My next picture will star Leo DiCaprio in a harrowing mukbang of a man fighting with everything he has to down 30,000 calories of pasta and cheese with his bare hands,” said Scorsese, who explained that the role was written specifically for DiCaprio after the award-winning actor was seen at a craft services table on the set of Killers Of The Flower Moon housing 50 chicken wings in under 10 minutes. “The film will consist of a single unbroken shot of a flop-sweating Leo in 1940s Brooklyn as he pushes through the pain of indigestion to shove every single elbow of macaroni down his throat, embodying what is perhaps the most fundamental of human struggles. Leo and I have made some great movies together, but this mukbang, with its scalding hot cheese, a seemingly bottomless bucket, and not so much as a soda to wash it down with will push him to his creative limits.” Scorsese later added that another longtime collaborator, Joe Pesci, would provide the voice of the bucket containing the mac and cheese.
