Leonardo DiCaprio is set to play Frank Sinatra in Martin Scorsese’s new film

Leonardo DiCaprio must repeat, once again, the partnership with the director Martin Scorsese and live Frank Sinatra in the musician’s biopic. According to information from Varietythe actor would be the most likely to star in the new film, with Jennifer Lawrence (Hunger Games) as the second wife of Sinatra, Ava Gardner.

The biopic, however, still encounters an obstacle to start filming: the rights to the musical catalog of Sinatra belong to his daughter, Tina Sinatrawho has not yet authorized permission to use the songs in the film.

The most recent work by DiCaprio with Scorsese he was Flower Moon Assassins, nominated for ten categories at the Oscars. Based on the book Flower Moon Killers: Oil, Death and the Origin of the FBIin David Grannthe film is set in Oklahoma, in the United States, in the 1920s, and portrays the serial murder of members of the Osage Indian tribe in the midst of the search for oil in the region they lived in.

During this period, which became known as the Reign of Terror, we met Ernest Burkhart (DiCaprio), who moves to Osage County to live and work with his uncle, William Hale (Robert De Niro, Taxi Driver), better known as Bill or King.

He gets a job as a taxi driver and soon falls in love with Mollie Kyle (Lily Gladstone, Certain Women), member of one of the richest families in the Osage tribe, but which quickly begins to be dismantled by the terrible murders, which haunt her every day with the possibility of being the next victim.
