The “film,” which advertises the City of Dreams Manila casino, is called _The Audition_, in which Scorsese has DiCaprio and De Niro — two of his favorite lead actors from two phases of his career — compete for the same role. The teaser trailer is a series of advertisements for the extravagant Manila Bay, Philippines casino, that [reportedly](http://www.slashfilm.com/martin-scorsese-leonardo-dicaprio-robert-de-niro/ "undefined") shelled out $70 million for the marketing campaign. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3666413/leonardo-dicaprio-robert-de-niro-martin-scorsese/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3666413/leonardo-dicaprio-robert-de-niro-martin-scorsese/"},"headline":"Watch DiCaprio and De Niro Finally Star Together in a Funny (Fake) Martin Scorsese Short","datePublished":"2015-01-13T22:54:37.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T03:32:56.970Z","description":"Scorsese makes the two actors compete for the same role","url":"https://time.com/3666413/leonardo-dicaprio-robert-de-niro-martin-scorsese/","keywords":["movies","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Jack Linshi","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/jack-linshi/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3666413/leonardo-dicaprio-robert-de-niro-martin-scorsese/","name":"Watch DiCaprio and De Niro Finally Star Together in a Funny (Fake) Martin Scorsese Short"}}]}] ```
