Martin Scorsese’s 7th film with Leonardo DiCaprio materializes

After Killers of the Flower Moon, the director and the actor should find himself for “the devil in the white city”, an adaptation on which they have been working for years.

After the cancellation in 2023 of the book adaptation of the book ” The Devil in the White City “, Planned on Hulu, with Todd Field to realization and Keanu Reeves in the main role, Martin Scorsese And Leonardo DiCAPRI come back to the charge to relaunch this ambitious project.

It has been more than a decade that the filmmaker and his favorite actor revolve around this film, after the rights of the book were acquired by Dicaprio and his company Appian Way Productions in 2010. Scorsese joined the initiative in 2015 to ensure its realization, while Billy Ray was expected to write the script. But the project never went further.

For the moment, this film The Devil in the White City is still without scenario. He will be an adaptation of Erik Larson’s bestseller published in 2004, who explores the story of Dr. HH Holmes, a serial killer who used the Universal Exhibition of Chicago in 1893 to attract his victims in a deadly trap. A historic thriller that promises and will be produced by David Greenbaum for 20th Century Studios and Disney.
