Obviously this isn't any kind of sequel news, but this is interesting, nonetheless. Devil in the White City, a movie that is set to be directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio is finally coming to fruition. The project was initially announced like 10 years ago and has gone through a few different changes and mediums. But it's come full circle. We're getting an H.H. Holmes movie!
The long-awaited film adaptation of Erik Larson’s bestselling book The Devil in the White City just got a shot of adrenaline, as sources tell Deadline that 20th Century has come on to the project with Leonardo DiCaprio in talks to star and Martin Scorsese in talks to direct. DiCaprio and Scorsese would also produce along with Stacey Sher, Rick Yorn and DiCaprio’s Appian Way partner Jennifer Davisson.
Sources add that there is currently no script for the pic, which is based on the book Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic and Madness at the Fair That Changed America first published in 2004.
