Director Martin Scorsese has been handed the reigns of a biopic about legendary singer Frank Sinatra. Universal Pictures and Mandalay Pictures will produce the film; the companies acquired both the life rights and music rights of the Chairman of the Board. “We have dreamt of making a movie about Frank Sinatra, and Marty Scorsese is undeniably the perfect vision keeper for this project,” Mandalay chairman Peter Guber said in a statement.

GREAT!

Crap.

Awesome.

I know DiCaprio could pull it off, but
2:1 odds Harry Connick Jr. to star in the Sinatra flick.

I hope they put old clips of Frank in the flick. They could do it in black and white for retro. It would smoke.

I can't wait for the new Pearl Jam!

So any speculation other than Leo and Connick on who should and or would be a good fit as Sinatra?

Cuz all I can come up with is DiCaprio.

How about Frank Jr. Wouldn't he look like his dad???

Shy- I'd go with Michael Buble'. But I truly think Connick nails it best.

Maybe we'll finally find out what happened to Jimmy Hoffa.

Buble', yeah he'd work singing-wise, since he basically (IMO) does a Sinatra tribute as his schtick.

I was looking more at someone who could do thier own singing and was a "proven" actor.

You know, like Kevin Spacey did with Bobby Darin.

Except that movie kind of sucked.
