Martin Scorsese’s Frank Sinatra Biopic and ‘Life of Jesus’ Postponed; New Filming Dates Unclear (EXCLUSIVE)
Martin Scorsese's planned Frank Sinatra and Jesus Christ films have been postponed, with no new dates given.
Martin Scorsese, the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind some of cinema’s most iconic works, had planned to begin shooting two highly anticipated films back-to-back this year. Based on Endō’s novel, “The Life of Jesus” promises to explore Christ’s complex human and divine aspects, much like Scorsese’s earlier work in “The Last Temptation of Christ.” No official casting for the film has been announced, but notable names like Oscar nominee Andrew Garfield have been rumored to be circling the project. The auteur keeps busy with many executive producer credits, including Celina Murga’s “The Freshly Cut Grass,” an adultery drama that premiered at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival.
