Martin Scorsese Wants Al Pacino and Robert de Niro for Sinatra Biopic
Will Al Pacino and Robert de Niro reunite for Sinatra?
Scorsese mentioned to The Playlist: "[I've] yet to spot the actor who can bring back Frank Sinatra alive on screen. My choice is Al Pacino, and Robert De Niro as Dean Martin."
Sinatra is in development . The film is directed by Martin Scorsese.

It's cool guys. they are only gonna portray near the end of the flick. However, for a younger Sinatra, its gonna be hard, because they'll have to look like Pacino. I still say Dicaprio or Depp should get it, and just age properly with make-up. Rooting for Depp (sweeney Todd proved he can sing).

Gandoff, a Three Stooges movie is on the way. I think Jim Carrey is playing Curly.

I am not a huge fan of this. Martin is a brillinat mind, but in this day and age, a Rat Pack movie might not be as entertaining as it would have been 15 years ago. This would reintroduce the Rat Pack style to a new generation, but I think the 50's and 60's based movies on real people are being over done. The last 10 years we have films based on people from Ali to Nixon. And as interesting at they were to watch, I realy done have a drive to want to watch a musical type film on the guys. This would be done in the same line that Walk the Line was, so I have dout it could be done and look good. But rather see something from earlier 1900's if a ear movie is going to be made. I want to see the 3 Stoogies more myself if it ever done.

I can see this, but like ejk1 said only if they're in the last part of the film or it's them looking back or something. "The Rat Pack" is a great biopic for the entire ratpack. Ray Liota and Don Cheadle are great.

This works as long as the segment they are in is short. A biopic on Sinatra must focus more on his early life, and less on his senior years.

Err
i dont know, i love these guys also but i dont know how good their impressions will be.
i saw pacino's "impression" of jack kevorkian, and it was not an impression at all.
it was just al pacino with a little white haircut.

Cool. I can see this happening. Besides they got to have a final bang together, after the slop fest of "Righteous Kill".
I was hoping for a younger approach, like the DiCaprio rumors, but oh well.
