Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio may be set to make their seventh film together, as the director-actor duo is in talks to respectively direct and star in an adaptation of Erik Larson’s “Devil in the White City” for Disney’s 20th Century Studios, a project that the Oscar winners have wanted to make for years.

Scorsese and DiCaprio would also produce the project through Scorsese’s Sikelia Productions and DiCaprio’s Appian Way Productions. DiCaprio first acquired the rights to Larson’s bestselling book in 2010, with the project bouncing from studio to studio. It was last set up at Hulu as a big-budget miniseries in 2019 but was later dropped.
