Scorsese to Direct ‘Sinatra’!
Universal Pictures and Mandalay Pictures have signed Marin Scorsese to direct the upcoming biopic based on the life of Frank Sinatra. I cannot think of a better director to take on this film. I simply cannot.
Phil Alden Robinson is writing the screenplay. You may remember another one of his screenplays…..Field of Dreams.
Also, Frank’s youngest daughter Tina will be an executive producer and all the music rights have been secured. Tina has told journalists in the past that she would “trust Scorsese implicitly” to “present the truth” about her father.
Man oh man. A Scorsese Sinatra picture. I simply cannot wait. It will be incredible. Now, who to cast as Frank? DiCaprio? They have a long past…..who do you think should play Frankie?
