No studio has yet to sign on to “Sinatra,” although Variety’s sources are telling him Apple and Sony might be circling the project. Whether the Sinatra estate has given firm approval to make the biopic is a whole other story, but if Scorsese was planning a November shoot, then maybe they have? Or is their non-approval the reason why it was delayed?
For over a decade the Sinatra family estate has blocked Scorsese from making the biopic about Frank, and recent comments by Nancy Sinatra made it sound like they were still not interested. I’m not sure if Scorsese has somehow managed to convince them, but I remain skeptical.
With that said, I stand by my firm belief that Scorsese’s next film will be his adaptation of Marilynne Robinson’s “Home,” which he’s been working with Todd Field and Kent Jones to turn into a trilogy. Field is also supposed to direct one of the books from Robinson’s trilogy, “Gilead,” and I’m starting to hear that might be his next film as well.
I'm a little confused with all this news, so I don't understand what he's going to shoot and what he's not going to shoot😅 But I wish Sinatra would start shooting this year.
