Frank Sinatra Biopic
Leonardo DiCaprio is set to take on a significant role in his upcoming project. According to a report from Variety on April 17, director Martin Scorsese, aged 81, intends to create a biographical film about Frank Sinatra following his work on a film centered around Jesus.
Scorsese plans to cast DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence in the film. Lawrence will play screen star Ava Gardner, who was Sinatra’s second wife after Nancy Barbato.
The publication referenced insiders who claimed that DiCaprio, aged 49, is set to portray the legendary singer-actor in the movie, while Jennifer Lawrence is being considered for the role of Sinatra’s second wife, Ava Gardner. DiCaprio and Lawrence, both 33 years old, appeared together in the 2021 film Don’t Look Up.
Details regarding the Scorsese Sinatra film are scarce, given his current commitment to another project. The film has not received official approval as Tina Sinatra, who manages her father’s estate, has not given her endorsement. Despite this, the film promises to encapsulate quintessential Scorsese elements, depicting an Italian-American cultural icon known for his extravagant lifestyle and connections to organized crime.
Frank Sinatra, who passed away in 1998 at the age of 82, achieved great success during the 20th century. He starred in films such as The Manchurian Candidate in 1962 and played the main role in the original Ocean’s Eleven in 1960. Some of his most popular songs are “My Way” and “New York, New York.”
The singer was married four times. He divorced his first wife, Nancy Barbato, in 1951, then married actress Gardner later that same year. Gardner, who passed away in 1990 at 67, and Sinatra’s marriage ended in divorce in 1957. Sinatra later married Mia Farrow and then Barbara Marx in 1976, remaining with Marx until his death.
