FINALLY: According to The Hollywood Reporter, Leonardo DiCaprio will play the lead role in Martin Scorsese's big screen retelling of Frank Sinatra's life. But when Scorsese was asked last night if he would attempt to have DiCaprio mimic Sinatra’s singing, Scorsese shot back "With those records? Frank will do the singing. But we're waiting for a finished script."
Scorsese made the statements at the New York premiere for his latest collaboration with DiCaprio, the creepy "Shutter Island," which opens Friday.
Sinatra fans should be overjoyed with this news. It had been widely rumored that DiCaprio was taking singing lessons in order to mimic Frank! The next, unanswered question, is will Scorsese concentrate on the darker side of Frank, clearly not what his millions of fans want to pay to see. How about you?

If Scorcese is going to bring make the life of Sinatra into big screen tabloid trash, I feel sorry for Leo, whos a serious actor!
