The Audition(Movie, 2015)

The Audition is a 2015 comedy short film directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Terence Winter. It stars Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio, playing fictionalized versions of themselves, who travel through Asia and compete against each other for a potential role in Scorsese's next film. Brad Pitt, also playing a fictionalized version of himself, makes a cameo appearance. The short was created to promote Studio City, a hotel casino resort located in Macau. It is Scorsese's first film to feature both De Niro and DiCaprio. Both actors had individually collaborated with Scorsese several times in the past, but the three had never worked on the same project together. They would eventually work together once again for the 2023 feature film Killers of the Flower Moon. ()
