Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence will headline a new Frank Sinatra biopic, to be directed by legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese. By lining up the Sinatra movie to follow on the heels of his upcoming film about Jesus, Scorsese has set back-to-back films that feel like the most Martin Scorsese that any two movies could be.
According to Variety, who first reported the news, DiCaprio will play Sinatra, and Lawrence portraying his second wife, actress Ava Gardner. Tina Sinatra, who controls her family's estate, is the daughter of Sinatra and his first wife, Nancy . According to the report, there is already a lot of interest in the project. While Scorsese has recently worked with streamers like Netflix and Apple , the Sinatra project feels like something that would go to theaters.
"I think there's a story in Frank Sinatra somewhere that I'd really want to do," Madden said."I think there's some younger years and some older years, and a bit of both. He's got a fascinating life story. So who knows? If something like that comes along, I'd probably chase it." Sinatra will also reportedly play a role in Reagan, the upcoming trailer based on the life of the 40th President of the United States. As of 2020, Creed singer Scott Stapp was set to play Sinatra, but after a number of delays, it isn't clear whether he still will.
