Martin Scorsese casts Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence in the Frank Sinatra biopic he's been trying to make since 2009

Martin Scorsese.

Martin Scorsese wants to make a Frank Sinatra biopic starring Leonardo DiCaprio as the famous crooner.

According to Variety, Scorsese has already cast DiCaprio as Sinatara and Jennifer Lawrence as his second wife actor Ava Gardner. However, Scorsese has yet to receive the go-ahead from Sinatra's estate, which is controlled by his daughter Tina. Apple reportedly wants to finance the project, having worked with the filmmaker on the highly successful Killers of the Flower Moon, but Sony is at the top of the list in terms of studios fighting for the potential rights.
