Zack Sharf Digital News Director Martin Scorsese fans might have experienced a bit of deja vu afterVariety exclusively reported that a Frank Sinatra biopic is one of two films the Oscar-winning director is planning to shoot back to back. The other is a movie about Jesus, the director’s second after 1988’s “The Last Temptation of Christ.” But it’s the Sinatra biopic that has long been a white whale of sorts for Scorsese. Per Variety’s report, Scorsese’s Sinatra movie is eyeing his longtime muse Leonardo DiCaprio to star as the crooner — and the actor’s “Don’t Look Up” co-star Jennifer Lawrence to play his second wife, the famous Hollywood actress Ava Gardner (who factored into Scorsese’s “The Aviator” and was played by Kate Beckinsale).
Sony is reportedly the frontrunner to nab the project, which Scorsese once tried and failed to get off the ground several years ago. Back during his promotional tour for 2016’s religious drama “Silence,” Scorsese told The Toronto Sun that his longtime plans to direct DiCaprio in a Sinatra biopic had been officially scrapped due to tensions between the director and the Sinatra estate. That film started out with a script by “Field of Dreams” scribe Phil Alden Robinson and had been in development since at least 2011, when producer Scott Rudin boarded the project.
“We can’t do it!” Scorsese said at the time with “a tinge of sadness,” the Toronto Sun reported. “I think it is finally over. They [remaining members of the Sinatra clan] won’t agree to it.
