At one point, Scorsese was gearing up to shoot Sinatra in 2024 alongside The Life of Jesus<\/a>, based on Sh\u016bsaku End\u014d\u2019s 1973 novel, but plans fell through<\/a>. There were rumblings that the production was facing resistance from the Sinatra estate.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t the first time the Sinatra movie has fallen apart. Almost ten years ago, Scorsese announced<\/a> that he had abandoned the project. \u201cWe can\u2019t do it! I think it is finally over,\u201d he said. \u201cThey [remaining members of the Sinatra clan] won\u2019t agree to it. Open it up again and I\u2019m there! Certain things are very difficult for a family, and I totally understand. But, if they expect me to be doing it, they can\u2019t hold back certain things. The problem is that the man was so complex. Everybody is so complex \u2014 but Sinatra in particular.\u201c<\/p>\n Scorsese\u2019s Next Project<\/p>\n Although it\u2019s unclear when (or if) Sinatra will actually happen, DiCaprio and Scorsese will be reuniting on What Happens at Night, which the actor said will start shooting in Prague in \u201ctwo weeks.\u201c<\/p>\n The film is \u201ca dream-like story of a married American couple who travel to a small, snowy European town to adopt a baby. They check into a cavernous, largely deserted hotel where they encounter an enigmatic cast of characters including a flamboyant chanteuse, a depraved businessman and a charismatic faith healer. Nothing is quite as it seems in this strange, frozen world. As the couple struggle to claim their baby, the less they seem to know about themselves and the life they\u2019ve built together.\u201d DiCaprio will star alongside Jennifer Lawrence, with Mads Mikkelsen<\/a> and Patrica Clarkson<\/a> said to be among the cast as well.<\/p>\n Apple Original Films will finance and produce What Happens At Night, which has been scripted by Patrick Marber (Notes On A Scandal), based on the novel of the same name by Peter Cameron<\/p>\n \n Subscribe to our weekly newsletter\n <\/p>\n![\"JoBlo](\"https:\/\/www.joblo.com\/wp-content\/themes\/face3-joblo\/assets\/images\/joblo-logo-icon-2025.svg\"){kind=icon}
