Is it just me, or does unveiling a documentary about Martin Scorsese feel like Mercury is doing a retrograde in the director’s chair—chaotic, intense, but utterly captivating? Apple TV+ just dropped a first glance at Rebecca Miller’s new five-part docuseries, Mr. Scorsese, digging deep into the wild and brilliant life of the filmmaking legend himself. Now, if you’ve ever wondered what a Leo’s passion looks like when it’s been channeled into cinema, or how Scorpio-level intensity protects art, this one’s for you. Picture this: Marty and his crew, including Spielberg—yeah, that Spielberg—reminiscing about how Taxi Driver nearly got snuffed out before it even hit the screens, but Scorsese’s sheer tenacity stole the film back from oblivion. It’s a story as gripping as any plot twist in his films—one that forces you to ask, how far would you go to save your creative baby? Better strap in, because this doc has never-before-seen interviews, rare archives, and candid moments that peel back the curtain on the man who made us look at good and evil through a whole new lens.

Apple TV+ has unveiled a first look at director Rebecca Miller‘s five-part documentary, Mr. Scorsese, exploring the life and career of legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese.
In the clip (below), Scorsese and his filmmaker friends, including Steven Spielberg, recall the extreme lengths the Oscar winner was willing to go to protect his cut of 1976’s Taxi Driver, which was almost never released.
“They’re going to destroy the film anyway, you know. So let me destroy it. I’ll destroy it. But before destroying it, I’m going to steal it,” Scorsese says in the footage.
The docuseries “examines how Scorsese’s colorful life experiences informed his artistic vision as each film he made stunned the world with originality. Starting with his earliest experiences (New York University student films) through to the present day, this documentary explores the themes that have fascinated Scorsese, including the place of good and evil in the fundamental nature of humankind,” according to a press release.
Mr. Scorsese features exclusive access to the filmmaker’s private archives, as well as extensive conversations with Scorsese himself and never-before-seen interviews with friends, family and longtime collaborators, including Spielberg, Robert De Niro, Daniel Day-Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mick Jagger, Robbie Robertson, Thelma Schoonmaker, Sharon Stone, Jodie Foster, Paul Schrader, Margot Robbie, Cate Blanchett, Jay Cocks and Rodrigo Prieto.
“This project is a filmmaker’s dream, to have had such access to legends of the industry, from Marty himself to his prolific collaborators, close friends and family members,” Miller writes in a statement. “I was honored he trusted me to create this documentary, which I believe will resonate with everyone from dedicated Scorsese fans to anyone who has grappled with failure and reached for stars.”
She continues,” I’m excited to share a sneak peek of Mr. Scorsese, which includes the true version of a mythic (a never-before-told) story about Taxi Driver, and how thanks to Marty’s perseverance and dedication to his art, the film retained its integrity and went on to become one of the most culturally significant films of all time.”
Mr. Scorsese premieres Oct. 17 on Apple TV+.
