Paul Schrader Plans to Direct Kevin Spacey in A Frank Sinatra Biopic
(...) According to Schrader, the two have spoken about collaborating on a potential film about late-period Sinatra. Schrader says. โHeโs reading a book on how Charlie Chaplin was canceled.โ: โI would not use Kevin if he had been convicted. But he was not convicted.โ
Apparently, Schrader and Spacey only recently started talking again, for the first time in years. Schrader believes itโs โtime to bring him in from the cold.โ
Cancel Culture wonโt let him go [โฆ] Kevin Spacey is a great actor. He won two Oscars. He was found not guilty. Why would I not work with him?
If this Sinatra biopic does come to fruition then it could potentially collide with Martin Scorseseโs own take on the legendary crooner. However, it does sound like both films would not be covering the same time span of Sinatraโs life. Scorseseโs film would take place in the โ40s and โ50s. Schraderโs would be set many decades later.
