Martin Scorsese Tried to Make a Sinatra Biopic With DiCaprio Years Ago but Clashed With the Singer’s Family: ‘They Can’t Hold Back Certain Things’
Martin Scorsese failed to make a Frank Sinatra biopic with Leonardo DiCaprio years ago as he clashed with the singer's family.
Per Variety’s report, Scorsese’s Sinatra movie is eying his longtime muse Leonardo DiCaprio to star as the crooner and the actor’s “Don’t Look Up” co-star Jennifer Lawrence to play his second wife, the famous Hollywood actress Ava Gardner (who factored into Scorsese’s “The Aviator” and was played by Kate Beckinsale). “Certain things are very difficult for a family, and I totally understand,” Scorsese said, noting that his desire to explore Sinatra’s darker side did not align with the estate’s vision for the film. It appears Scorsese’s plan to shine a light on the darker side of Sinatra’s personal life and his infidelity remains unchained so many years later.
