Frank Sinatra biopic secures Scorsese as director

Though rumors have been floating around for about a year now, it’s finally official--Martin Scorsese will officially be directing the Frank Sinatra biopic. Sinatra’s daughter Tina will be the executive producer and approves of the choice for director. The film has also acquired all the necessary permissions for using the music--a huge feat. I know I’m excited to see how this one turns out. I foresee Leonardo DiCaprio in the role of Ole’ Blue Eyes; Scorsese is known to draw from the same pool of lead actors.
