Leonardo DiCaprio to Play Frank Sinatra in New Biopic from Martin Scorsese: Report

The post Leonardo DiCaprio to Play Frank Sinatra in New Biopic from Martin Scorsese: Report appeared first on Consequence.

Leonardo DiCaprio is attached to play Frank Sinatra in a new biopic from Martin Scorsese.

Variety broke news of the project on Wednesday, while also noting that Jennifer Lawrence is in line to play Sinatra’s second wife, actress Ava Gardner. Not surprisingly, the film is reportedly drawing major interest from studios, including Sony and Apple, but must still receive approval from Sinatra’s daughter, Tina, who controls her late father’s estate.

The project would mark the seventh collaboration between DiCaprio and Scorsese, following Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed, Shutter Island, The Wolf of Wall Street, and last year’s Killers of the Flower Moon.

Scorsese hopes to begin production on the Sinatra biopic immediately after he finishes a film about Jesus Christ, which is set to begin shooting later this year. Andrew Garfield and Miles Teller are among the actors being courted for the Jesus film, according to Variety.

As for DiCaprio, he’s currently filming a new movie with Paul Thomas Anderson.
