The Frank Snatra movie is back in the news; In a recent interview with The New York Times, Clint Eastwood talked briefly about the possibility of his J. Edgar star Leonardo DiCaprio playing Frank Sinatra in a biopic which currently has Martin Scorsese in the director’s chair.
When the subject was brought up, Clint stated the following:
“He’s ready to play Frank Sinatra in another Scorsese biopic. “That is in Mr. Scorsese’s hands,” he said of a potential Sinatra film, pausing to pop a wedge of watermelon into his mouth and pour himself another cup of coffee. “I’m always incredibly game for anything that he decides to do.”
"This of course confirms what we all thought was a strong possibility, unfortunately though it doesn’t give us much to go on. Rumors have been circulating that Scorsese would next take on Silence and Robert De Niro stated that he, Scorsese, Al Pacino and Joe Peci would make a film titled The Irishman. There is also his remake of The Gambler that has DiCaprio in talks to star."
So where the proposed Sinatra biopic would fit in is currently unknown. Will it ever get made? Do you care? Who do you think should play Frank?
