Depp, Clooney and DiCaprio Battling For Sinatra Role

Depp, Clooney and DiCaprio Battling For Sinatra Role

Back in May of this year we reported on the fact that Martin Scorsese was going to be taking on the legendary figure of Frank Sinatra in a biopic about the singer, simply titled Sinatra. Along with that news came word that a couple of actors were lined up to play the titular man, in the form of Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Depp was reportedly the studio’s first choice for the role, while DiCaprio’s name was being thrown around as a possibility more than anything, particularly because he’s lead many of Scorsese’s movies over the past few years (The Aviator, The Departed, Gangs of New York).

Martin Scorsese To Direct Johnny Depp In Sinatra Biopic?

Martin Scorsese To Direct Johnny Depp In Sinatra Biopic?

I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s baffled that a movie about the life of legendary Rat Pack singer Frank Sinatra hasn’t been made as of yet. Oh, I’m sure there’s been some TV movies (as well as a few stage plays), but I’m talking about a properly done, theatrically released biopic.

Well, the one and only Martin Scorsese is now set to make a movie on the life of the singer, simply titled Sinatra. Universal Pictures has acquired the rights (previously owned by Mandalay Pictures) to the project, as well as the permission of the Sinatra family (which, apparently, isn’t an easy thing to get), to not only make the project but use the actual music (including the voice) of the man himself within it, too.
