Production started on August 30th, 2000 at the Cinecitta studios in Rome, where the New York City of the mid-19th century is being reconstructed (filming won't be done in modern New York since it doesn't look like that anymore). At $90 million, this is Miramax's most expensive production ever. Robert De Niro was originally supposed to play the part of Billy the Butcher but opted out. It was then announced that Willem Dafoe would play the part but the role ended up going to Daniel Day-Lewis.

Miramax have settled upon December 21st as the releasedate for Gangs Of New York, this puts the film up against The Majestic and Lord Of The Rings. An incredibly brave move, but with DiCaprio's pulling power and the probablity that movie goers will want something else to watch over that weekend, may see the film right. In any case, it's a Scorsese film, and when did any of his movies make big box office? People and true cinema fans will see this movie anyway.
