How it was made

Production designer Dante Ferretti built over a mile of recreated 1860s Lower Manhattan at Rome's Cinecittà Studios, including a five-block Five Points slum and two full-size sailing ships on a mock East River waterfront.
Ferretti based the Five Points set directly on George Catlin's 1827 painting of the neighbourhood.
Scorsese acquired the screen rights to Herbert Asbury's source book in 1979, but the production took twenty years to reach a shoot because almost nothing in New York still resembled its nineteenth-century appearance.
The screenplay went through nine revised drafts with co-writer Jay Cocks before Scorsese, under pressure from producer Harvey Weinstein, fired Cocks and brought in Hossein Amini to write the final two drafts, uncredited.
Costs ran 25 percent over the original budget, pushing the production past $100 million.
