'We had many plans to work together again but the timing was always off, or the project wasn’t quite right. I regret that now,' the director wrote in an op-ed for The Guardian.
“I wish I’d had the chance to see him just once more, too — to tell him just how much the work we did together meant to me. But maybe he knew that. I hope so,” Scorsese continued., describing Liotta as someone who “never missed a beat” and their relationship as one that “felt like we’d worked together for years.”
While on set, Scorsese found Liotta “distraught” in his trailer after learning his mother had passed away. Though the director “told him that he had to go to be with her,” Scorsese recalled Liotta being “adamant” that “he wanted to do the scene before he left.” The director called it a “rare experience” to witness Liotta perform the scene “so beautifully” before leaving to “be with his beloved mother.
“We walked to the set together, everyone was told what was happening, and something extraordinary happened when we rolled,” Scorsese wrote. “The scene was all about the euphoria of the characters after making their first big score, and everyone came together in an emotional bond around Ray: as everyone was laughing and celebrating, they were mourning with him at the same time. Laughter and tears, tears and laughter … they were one and the same.
