Variety is reporting acclaimed director Martin Scorsese has signed on to direct Sinatra, a biopic based on the life of the famous entertainer. The pic will be for Universal Studios and Mandalay Pictures. Phil Alden Robinson has completed the screenplay and it has taken years to acquire the rights for the film. No start date or actors have been announced. Judging from his past, can we expect Leonardo DiCaprio to pull off Sinatra? We will see.
Scorsese is my favorite director, so I’m definitely looking forward to this. I wish he wouldn’t do another biopic, but this fall’s Shutter Island is looking to be satisfying.
