Television Q&A: Is 'Devil in the White City' adaptation still happening?

You have questions. I have some answers.

Q: We’ve been hearing for 10 years that Leonardo DiCaprio will star in the film version of “The Devil in the White City.” It’s been a long time coming. Is this movie going to be made? Hope so!

A: Still in the works is a screen adaptation of Erik Larson’s nonfiction account of murder and the 1893 World’s Fair, though not quite as originally imagined. As Deadline has reported, DiCaprio acquired the rights to the book in 2010, with an eye toward a feature film directed by Martin Scorsese, a frequent DiCaprio collaborator. But in 2019, the project shifted into a planned miniseries for Hulu, with DiCaprio as an executive producer along with Scorsese. There have been reports about possible casting from time to time since then. Most recently, earlier in January, Keanu Reeves was said to be in negotiations for the series; it hasn't been said whom he would play.
