Soon thereafter, planning was made for the film to be shot in Taiwan.Ī long-time passion project for Scorsese, which he had developed for over 25 years, the film premiered in Rome on November 29, 2016, and was released in the United States on December 23, 2016. Irwin Winkler was then announced as a producer, as were Randall Emmett and George Furla, who would provide financing through their company Emmett/Furla Films. On April 19, 2013, Scorsese indicated that he would begin production on Silence in 2014. After filming of The Wolf of Wall Street concluded in January 2013, Scorsese committed to following it up with Silence. The pre-production phase of the filmmaking for Silence went through a cycle of over two decades of setbacks and reassessments. It is the second filmed adaptation of Endō's novel, following a 1971 film of the same name. These are now called the kakure kirishitan, or "hidden Christians". The story is set in a time when it was common for the faith's Japanese adherents to hide from the persecution that resulted from the suppression of Christianity in Japan after the Shimabara Rebellion (1637–1638) against the Tokugawa shogunate.
The plot follows two 17th-century Jesuit priests who travel from Portugal to Edo-era Japan via Macau to locate their missing mentor and spread Catholic Christianity.
The film stars Andrew Garfield, Adam Driver, Liam Neeson, Tadanobu Asano, and Ciarán Hinds. Silence is a 2016 epic historical drama film directed by Martin Scorsese and with a screenplay by Jay Cocks and Scorsese, based on the 1966 novel of the same name by Shūsaku Endō.
