Scorsese’s Sinatra Biopic Revived with DiCaprio Rumored for Lead Role

Martin Scorsese is set to breathe new life into his long-delayed Frank Sinatra biopic, with Leonardo DiCaprio rumored to take on the lead role. The acclaimed director, known for his collaborations with DiCaprio, is reportedly gearing up to kickstart the Sinatra project once he wraps up filming his current endeavor centered on Jesus, adapted from a book by Japanese writer Shūsaku Endō.

Recent reports from Variety indicate that DiCaprio is poised to portray Sinatra in the biopic, with Jennifer Lawrence potentially joining the cast as Ava Gardner, the iconic singer’s former wife from 1951 to 1957. However, despite these exciting developments, Scorsese may face a hurdle in the form of securing approval from Sinatra’s daughter Tina, who oversees her father’s music and image rights.

This isn’t the first time Scorsese has delved into the idea of bringing Sinatra’s life to the big screen. Back in 2009, the director had announced a project with backing from Universal Studios, where DiCaprio was initially speculated to play the lead role. In a different iteration, Scorsese had considered casting Al Pacino and Robert De Niro as Sinatra and Dean Martin, respectively, with a vision that involved multiple actors portraying Sinatra at various stages of his life.

However, tensions arose over the creative direction of the biopic, with reports suggesting that Tina Sinatra was apprehensive about Scorsese’s portrayal of her father, particularly his inclination towards a gritty and intense depiction that would delve into Sinatra’s ties to organized crime. While Scorsese aimed for a raw and unfiltered narrative, Tina reportedly sought a more nuanced and music-centric focus on her father’s legacy.

As the anticipation builds for Scorsese’s latest cinematic venture, fans of both the director and the iconic crooner eagerly await further updates on the progress of the Frank Sinatra biopic, poised to offer a fresh perspective on the legendary singer’s complex life and enduring legacy.
