14 DAY TRIAL // High on the heels of his latest success, Leonardo DiCaprio is already planning his next box office hit and it's only natural that it should include his favorite director, Martin Scorsese.
According to Radar, there are already plans being laid out to make a Theodore Roosevelt biopic, with Leonardo in the title role, that is going to be helmed by the “The Wold of Wall Street” director.
“Leo is telling friends that after his latest movie proved to be a massive box office hit, he's pushing forward with his biopic of Roosevelt which will re-team him with Martin Scorsese,” says an insider
Apparently, Leo has had his eyes on the project for well over a decade now, “He says it's 'now or never' as he's patiently waited almost a decade for the money to materialize,” and he has big hopes for it “He'll do whatever it takes. This is the movie Leo wants to win an Oscar for, and he talks about it all the time.”
The movie will be based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book “The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt” and the movie project is already causing concern after Leo's last political movie, “J. Edgar,” which wasn't so well received by audiences.
