Robert De Niro shoots scene under Williamsburg Bridge for his new gangster movie 'Malavita'

You typecastin’ me?

Robert De Niro shot a scene under the Williamsburg Bridge in Brooklyn Tuesday looking very like the gun-toting tough he’s portrayed in “Taxi Driver,” “Goodfellas” and numerous other movies.

De Niro’s latest gangster flick, “Malavita,” tells the tale of — you guessed it — a mobster-turned-informant who is sent to Normandy, France, under the witness protection program.

The former wiseguy can’t abandon his old life, and ends up imposing his ways on his French town. The hijinks eventually attract the mafiosos he’d hoped to escape.

The film is directed by Luc Besson, the man behind “The Fifth Element” and “La Femme Nikita.”
It also stars Tommy Lee Jones and Michelle Pfeiffer, and is expected to hit theaters next year.
