Pesci?

So I hear Joe Pesci isnt in this film. What a bloody waste!!! Surely you'd give him what he wants! Deniro, Pacino and Pesci are irreplaceable Mafiosi treasures and these guys aren't getting any younger. I think Martin Scorsese should go out with a bang and make one more classic. Maybe a two part (ie) Godfather. I know there's Goodfellas and Casino etc but there's plenty of mafia bloodshed stories to choose from.
