Edward Noprton saved Leo. He has told the story before at some talk show if I remember correctly. Thanks for saving him, Edward! :D

It starts at about 1 minute.

Normally a few responses will make their way onto letterboxd reviews. I’ll check next week.

 

Whilst I'm a believer that a film needs to be the length it needs to be and this is up to the director . I hope they trim a bit off. I went on two comfort breaks during KOTFM Haha!

‘Devil In The White City’ Movie Revived At 20th Century With Leonardo DiCaprio And Martin Scorsese Eyeing Reunion

EXCLUSIVE: 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 Larson’s nonfiction classic Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic and Madness at the Fair That Changed America, first published in 2004.

DiCaprio and Scorsese have been developing the project for some time, and sources say they always felt this was a story that has resonated throughout the years and still does. DiCaprio first landed rights to the book in 2010, and though the project has gone through various stages of development over the years, (including a TV series adaptation at Hulu that never came to fruition), insiders say that following a meeting with 20th Century execs, all parties were on board to tell this story at the theatrical level.


The story follows Dr. HH Holmes, a cunning serial killer believed to have murdered anywhere from 27 to 200 people at a time when the city of Chicago was enthralled with hosting the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893. The book plays off the contrasts between the hopeful expectations and wonders presented at the exposition and the dark deeds of Holmes, who maneuvered in its shadows and built a carefully-concealed house of horrors.

This marks another massive victory for David Greenbaum, who leads Disney Live Action and 20th Century Studios and Steve Asbell, president of 20th, who have been on a roll going back to landing another high-profile package: the Bruce Springsteen pic Deliver Me From Nowhere starring Jeremy Allen White. They quickly followed that by landing the sought-after package The Barrier starring Austin Butler with Edward Berger directing. All three projects line up with what Greenbaum wants for 20th: films that that embody commercial, global theatrical and prestige with A-list talent and original filmmaking.

Asbell, Greenbaum and SVP Production Sarah Shepard will be overseeing Devil in the White City for the studio.

 

LBI Entertainment reps DiCaprio, Appian Way and Scorsese, who is also repped by WME.

At this point I don't really care that much what he does next. Just start DOING something, Leo! We need more films.

Does anybody know when Jen Lawrence will be able to work again?

Anything will be good at this point, but yeah, I also wish Sinatra is still a project. As for Jennifer, IDK when she will want to work, but I guess this year won't be happening.

Eric Roth Confirms He’s Writing A New Film for Martin Scorsese

Yesterday, it was announced that Martin Scorsese’s “Devil in the White City” was back in development, with Leonardo DiCaprio set to star. Sadly, no script has been submitted just yet.

However, what a coincidence that Eric Roth is telling the Final Draft podcast that he’s currently writing a screenplay for Scorsese. Is it “Devil in the White City”? What else can it be? Scorsese’s other projects in development (“Sinatra,” “Life of Jesus”) have already been written.

Scorsese’s other immediate and possible film, “Home,” is apparently a collaboration with Todd Field and Kent Jones, so I’d be surprised if Roth had any part or say in that particular creative process.

I’ll give you another reason why I believe Roth may be writing “Devil in the White City”; much like Scorsese, he’s been trying to bring Erik Larson’s book to the screen for a few decades now. Roth’s script has hopped on a few director’s laps.

In 2008, Roth wrote a script for “‘Devil’ that reportedly interested David Fincher, but the project eventually fizzled out. Scorsese and DiCaprio joined the project in 2015 with the intention of using a script written by Billy Ray (“Shattered Glass”).

Roth is one of the most sought-after screenwriters in the business, and has been showered with acclaim throughout his career. Some of his credits include “Forrest Gump,” “The Insider,” “Munich,” and “Dune.” His last “credit” was for Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon.”
