Scorsese DiCaprio nominates Jennifer Lawrence to introduce Frank Sinatra

Veteran director Martin Scorsese is preparing to direct a biopic about the late singer Frank Sinatra, and Leonardo DiCaprio is his first choice for the lead role. Scorsese also plans to star Jennifer Lawrence in the role of Sinatra's second wife, actress Eva Garden, so that the biographical film will be her second work with Leonardo DiCaprio after Don't Look Up, in which they played two scientists who warn the planet of its possible destruction.

Martin Scorsese then waits for permission from Frank Sinatra's daughter, Tina, the singer's sole owner.

Martin Scorsese has worked with Leonardo DiCaprio in six films so far: Shutter Island, The Departed, Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Wolf of Wall Street, and The Killers.

Before Scorsese begins work on Sinatra, he is preparing to direct a Jesus film starring Andrew Garfield and Melzer Teller, based on the novel "The Life of Jesus" by Japanese writer Shusaku Endo.

Who is Sinatra? Francis Albert Sinatra (December 12, 1915 – May 14, 1998) was an American singer, actor, and producer, and one of the most popular and influential musical artists of the 20th century. One of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold over 150 million records worldwide.

Sinatra was born in Hoboken, New Jersey, to Italian immigrants. He began his music career during the swing era with bandleaders Harry James and Tommy Dorsey.

After signing with Columbia Records in 1943, Sinatra enjoyed success as a solo artist and became the famous "Bobby Sox." He released his first album, The Voice of Frank Sinatra, in 1946.

But by the early 1950s, his career had stalled and he headed to Las Vegas, where he became one of the Rat Pack's most popular resident artists. His career resumed in 1953 with the success of Here Forever and Ever, for which he won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor. Sinatra released several popular albums, including In the We Small Hours (1955) and Songs for Swingin' Lovers! (1956), Come Fly with Me (1958), The Only One (1958) and It's a Good Thing It's Easy (1960).
