Oscar-winning film director Martin Scorsese is once again drumming up chatter surrounding himself and Academy Award winner and film frontman Leonardo DiCaprio.
The "Shutter Island" actor is rumored to play Frank Sinatra, one of the most highly regarded American singers of all time, in an upcoming biopic by Scorsese.
Coming off the heels of a successful Western crime drama, "Killers of the Flower Moon" starring DiCaprio and Robert DeNiro, there are whispers that Scorsese is gathering a star-studded cast of Hollywood elites for the film, according to a Variety source. Ol’ Blue Eyes’ daughter, Tina Sinatra, controls her father’s estate, and there is no word she has greenlighted production on the film.
Contrarily, Jennifer Lawrence is rumored to have been selected for the part of sassy and skilled American actress Ava Gardner, Sinatra’s second wife. There is no studio presently attached to film.
This is not the first time Scorsese has worked to rubber-stamp a biopic about the former star of a popular Las Vegas residency. When asked about his "staggering" Sinatra project during a 2012 interview with PopcornBiz at the Santa Barbara Film Festival, Scorsese said, "we're taking our time with it" and "working with the family." During the interview, when asked if he had any actors in mind to play the star, Scorsese said, "Not yet, not yet.
How could you? I mean, it's Frank." Now, it seems he intends to cast DiCaprio as the Sultan of Swoon.
