Taxi Driver 2?Scorsese and De Niro in secret sequel talks
It’s been over 30 years since the film we all know and love was made and since then, fans have wondered what happened to Travis after his madcap adventures in ‘Taxi Driver’. Apparantly, we’re not the only ones who have been wondering, as star Robert De Niro let slip that he’s been working on a follow-up with director, MArtin Scorsese.
“I was talking with Marty about doing what I guess you’d call a sequel to Taxi Driver, where [Bickle] is older,” he said, launching all sorts of speculation about how the story might work.
Needless to say, the idea of a Taxi Driver sequel has us all really excited. We’ll bring you all the gossip just as soon as we get it, so keep watching this space!

Dear TDMFM,Do Travis and Betsy get married in the end? Or does he love Iris?
PS - I think your mag is the best.
Daisy Roland, Age 5, Gloucester
Dear Daisy,
I don’t know whe
ther Travis
and Betsy get ma
rried, but I
think it’s proba
bly true that
he *does* love I
ris. After
all, he wouldn’t
shoot all
those people if
he didn’t!
PS - Thanks!
Dear Taxi Driver
Movie Fun,
I have a questio
n about the
man with the bea
rd that sits
in Travis’s taxi
. My daddy
told me that thi
s is the
director of the
film. Is this
true?
Billy Noonan, Ag
e 8,
Co. Durham.
Dear Billy,Your dad is absolutely right!
That weirdy-beardy passenger
is none other than director
Martin Scorsese! You
probably know him best as the
director of Kundun and The
Age of Innocence, but he’s
also appeared in front of the
camera in Bernard Tavernier’s
‘Round Midnight.
Billy Haynes, aged 11, from Lancashire sent in this fab pic of Travis. Good work Billy, but where’s all the red?

Dear Taxi Driver Movie Fun,In the scene when Travis is pre-paring his guns, I saw that he uses a knife to cut into the tips of his bullets. Why does he do this?
Sam Thompson, Age 8,Bath
Dear Sam,
Travis is turning
ordinary bullets
into ‘cross-cut’ or
‘dum-dum’ bullets.
These shells
expand when they hit
something, causing m
ore damage
to flesh and bone. H
ope this
helps!
