Martin Scorsese to Direct Dwayne Johnson in Hawaii-Set True Crime Mob Drama

Martin Scorsese will direct Dwayne Johnson, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Emily Blunt in a Hawaii-set mob drama.

IndieWire can confirm from a source close to the project that Johnson and his frequent collaborator Emily Blunt approached Scorsese with the feature, who then brought in actor/producer Leonardo DiCaprio. The drama is set to star Johnson as a real-life aspiring mob boss who battled rival crime clans to control the Hawaiian islands in the 1960s. The project was previously re-tooled as a limited series, with Scorsese and DiCaprio executive producing and Todd Field directing with Keanu Reeves in the lead role.
