Sequel/Remake
In late January 2005 a sequel was announced by Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese. At a 25th anniversary screening of Raging Bull, De Niro talked about the story of an older Travis Bickle being in development. Also in 2000, De Niro mentioned interest in bringing back the character in conversation with Actors Studio host James Lipton.
At the Berlinale 2010, De Niro, Scorsese, and Lars von Trier announced plans to work on a remake of Taxi Driver. The film will be produced in a similar manner to von Trier's The Five Obstructions.
In December 2011, Martin Scorsese was interviewed about combining his passion for 3D as a new medium with the legacy of older films, and said that if he could go back in time he would "shoot Taxi Driver in 3D." More specifically, he envisioned "Bob De Niro in the mirror as Travis Bickle. Imagine how intimidating: ‘You talking to me? You talking to me?’ Amazing possibilities."
