Martin Scorsese will make a brief cameo in&nbsp;Julian Schnabel's new film "In the Hands of Dante".&nbsp;
Julian Schnabel's forthcoming criminal thriller "In the Hands of Dante" features the master director, who is receiving an honorary Golden Bear from the Berlin Film Festival on Tuesday night. The director plays a minor but influential role as an elderly sage who advises Dante Alighieri as he is writing "The Divine Comedy."
Even though Scorsese has made appearances in many of his own films and occasionally appeared in those of other directors (he voiced the loan shark pufferfish in "Shark Tale" and played Vincent van Gogh in a scene of Akira Kurosawa's 1990 film "Dreams"), this is probably going to be his most meaty role to date.
The ensemble cast of "In the Hands of Dante" includes Oscar Isaac, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Gerard Butler, and Al Pacino. It draws its inspiration from Nick Tosches's novel of the same name, which centers on a handwritten copy of Dante Alighieri's "The Divine Comedy," which is kept at the Vatican library. After being requested to confirm its authenticity.
