Leo Reunities With Scorsese For “Devil”
Leonardo DiCaprio will star in the long-in-development “The Devil in the White City†with Martin Scorsese directing for Paramount, sources confirm. The project, which has been in the works for more than a decade, reunites DiCaprio with Scorsese two years after “The Wolf of Wall Street.†DiCaprio will play H.H. Holmes, who murdered between 27 and 200 people. Set against the backdrop of the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, “The Devil in the White City†tells the intertwining stories of fair architect Daniel H. Burnham and Holmes, who used a hotel he built near the fairgrounds to lure his victims.
