The Notorious Newman Brothers

Directed by
Comedy

Synopsis

Join Max Chaplin, one of films most inexperienced directors, as he struggles to document Paulie and Thunderclap Newman on their ascension to mobster mediocrity. Hoping to penetrate the brothers' tight bond, Max goes deep inside the duo to uncover the truth about wise guys, their influences, wizard ladies, mammoth-hair jackets, mobster charades, a little bit of manslaughter and easily one of the biggest dope deals of all time.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 10

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
