 DiCaprio to play Frank Sinatra, Scorsese directing http://showbiz411.blogs.thr.com/2010/02 ... er-island/Quote: Leonardo DiCaprio is still to set to play Frank Sinatra for Martin Scorsese. But he’s probably not going to sing.
“With those records?” Scorsese asked me, his voice rising, at the premiere last night for his new DiCaprio collaboration, “Shutter Island.” “Frank will do the singing. But we’re waiting for a finished script.”
So while he’s waiting, Scorsese’s next film will likely take a break from DiCaprio. “The Invention of Huge Cabret” is lighter fare for Scorsese, about a 12-year-old boy who lives in Paris and meets famous French silent film director and magician George Méliès. How many movies together is this now? DiCaprio's next film is still likely the Viking film directed by Mel Gibson.

Re: DiCaprio to play Frank Sinatra, Scorsese directing DiCaprio as Sinatra? I don't really see it, but maybe he can pull it off.
Nevertheless, I think this has some obvious commercial potential.

Re: DiCaprio to play Frank Sinatra, Scorsese directing Is Leo going to sing? He doesn't have Frank's deep voice...

Re: DiCaprio to play Frank Sinatra, Scorsese directing Should be good. DiCaprio is an amazing actor and Scorsese seems the ideal candidate to dramatize Sinatra's life.

Re: DiCaprio to play Frank Sinatra, Scorsese directing Maybe DeNiro can be Dean Martin

I didn't read it expecting the usual one sentence wrap up about the project and then the obligatory summarized filmography of everyone involved.

Re: DiCaprio to play Frank Sinatra, Scorsese directing I'm not a fan of this idea. Other actors have sang in their roles. I don't see why they can't have a singer involved with this. Joaquin Phoenix sang for Walk the Line.
There have been roles where the actors don't sing, so who knows. But if you're going to play a boxer (Ali, Million Dollar Baby, Rocky), learn how to box, etc.

Re: DiCaprio to play Frank Sinatra, Scorsese directing It works both ways. Kurt Russell was awesome as Elvis and didn't sing. I think Sinatra is one of the easiest song style to learn so who knows.

Re: DiCaprio to play Frank Sinatra, Scorsese directing I'm not fussed if he doesnt sing - but I dont think he is right for the role. Physically, Ray Liotta looks more like Sinatra and would be a better fit (plus he is a Scorsese alumni).
I'd love if Scorsese did this next instead of the kids film but what can you do

Re: DiCaprio to play Frank Sinatra, Scorsese directing Liotta already played Sinatra - plus he's too old now.

Re: DiCaprio to play Frank Sinatra, Scorsese directing I actually think Bradley Cooper with black hair wouldn't be too bad. I think DiCaprio could pull it off, he would just have to loose weight and black hair. I think he is a great actor and the accent and style is the most of the work, something Leo is capable of   _________________Chippy wrote: As always, fuck Thegun.
