Hey, tweens who are skimming this article before jumping to the Robert Pattinson article below: I know you don’t know who Frank Sinatra is, but you need to trust me: this is a pretty big deal.
Martin Scorsese — who you might remember directed The Departed, the best movie of 2006 — will direct Sinatra, a big-budget biopic about singer and actor Frank Sinatra.
Think Ray and Walk the Line, only, thanks to Scorsese’s involvement, much bigger than either. Universal Pictures will make the film, which is being written by Field of Dreams‘ Phil Alden Robinson.
No word yet on casting, but as MTV notes, Scorsese has got to be seriously considering Leonardo DiCaprio. His last four big screen movies — including the upcoming period crime drama Shutter Island — have all starred DiCaprio.
