The trades are buzzing about Martin Scorsese bringing Frank Sinatra to the silver screen.
Scorsese has signed with Universal Pictures and Mandalay Pictures to direct and produce Sinatra. If anyone is a fan of Scorsese or Sinatra, then you know Scorsese has long played with the idea of creating biopic on singer-actor Frank Sinatra.
Now, the trades are speculating Leonardo DiCaprio as an obvious choice to play Ol’ Blue Eyes because he has become Scorsese’s go-to actor over the past decade, having starred in the director’s past four features: Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed and the upcoming Shutter Island. Most of the music in the film will come from Sinatra’s recordings.
Personally, I’d like to see someone else take the role. Who? I am not sure. There are a lot of up and coming actors who’d do the role justice. Sam Worthington is a good choice because he looks like Frank Sinatra. Plus, he’s a talented actor.
Project marks the first silver screen movie to be made about the Hoboken, N.J., native, whose life provided continual fodder for the gossip columnists because of his turbulent love affairs, infamous friendships with notables like President Kennedy and possible Mafia ties.
It will be interesting to see how the casting pans out.

I am listening to “NOTHING BUT THE BEST” right now. It’s fantastic set of songs by Francis Albert Sinatra who made an indelible mark on the world. There are duets I am hearing with Nancy Sinatra (his daughter), Antonio Carlos Jobim and Count Basie and his orchestra.
Quincy Jones also arranged some of the songs.
In the 10 years since his passing, Sinatra’s legacy not only endures but also continues to grow in stature. As the first initiative under the newly established Frank Sinatra Enterprises (FSE), a partnership between the Sinatra Family and Warner Music Group, FSE has partnered with Reprise, Warner Home Video, MGM Home Entertainment, Turner Classic Movies, and the United States Postal Service to commemorate the Chairman of the Board, whose music and movies have an everlasting impact on popular culture. The month-long celebration will include the release of all-new CD and DVD collections, a television film festival and specials and a commemorative stamp.
On May 13, Reprise will release “NOTHING BUT THE BEST,” a single-disc collection from Sinatra’s Reprise Years that features 22 classic cuts remixed and remastered from the original master tapes, plus a previously unreleased recording of “Body And Soul” featuring a new arrangement. The compilation will be available in physical and digital formats, online at Frank Sinatra Website, and in more than 7,000 Post Offices across the country. For a limited time, each CD will contain a collectible, commemorative Sinatra stamp with official USPS first-day issue cancellation. The stamp was unveiled in December 2007 by the U.S. Postal Service and will go on sale May 13.
