Martin Scorsese to Direct Frank Sinatra Biopic

Although he has yet to sign on the dotted line, but it looks like there is a good chance that Martin Scorsese is on board to direct a new biopic about “Ol’ Blue Eyes”, the legendary singer Frank Sinatra. The movie is being set up at Universal Pictures and will be produced by Sinatra’s youngest daughter Tina.

Obviously Scorsese seems like a great choice to direct a movie about Sinatra, however, his daughter is quick to dismiss the one assumption that immediately jumps to mind. Apparently the movie will not give any credibility to “scurrilous rumours” that the man had any ties to the mafia whatsoever. Well that sounds boring! In all seriousness I’d love to see this movie, so hopefully the contracts will get finalized shortly. Anyone have any ideas as to who should play Sinatra?
