Martin Scorsese’s New Movie Looks Even Cringier After This $700 Million Apocalyptic Comedy

Summary:

• Martin Scorsese seems to be full of certainty to revive his long-standing project about Frank Sinatra, but the star-studded cast may cause some controversy.
• The upcoming biopic will star Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence who had an absolutely different kind of relationship in their 2021 collaborative movie.
• The striking difference between the actors and their real-life prototypes may also become quite a big issue.

Martin Scorsese’s long-suffering biopic about Frank Sinatra has yet to go through some more circles of hell for the definite approval by the legendary singer’s family, but the chances that the movie is happening after all are quite high — at least the director is determined to bring the project to life.

The film already has an impressive duo of Hollywood’ favorites in the leading roles, but this is exactly the reason why Scorsese’s epic movie has all risks to give some really weird vibe after the 2021’s box office hit.

The production is still far from being started, but Scorsese was quick to find his seemingly perfect duo — Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence are already confirmed to portray Frank Sinatra and his wife Ava Gardner respectively.

Both actors are not strangers to each other as they once shared the screen in Adam McKay’s 2021 apocalyptic black comedy Don’t Look Up where they got to be a teacher-student duo.

Now that DiCaprio and Lawrence are about to move on to portraying a husband and wife on screen, their age gap is what may disturb most in the upcoming biopic. It’s none of a secret that Sinatra and Gardner had only seven years of age difference while the actors themselves are almost 16 years apart with DiCaprio born in November of 1974 and Lawrence in August of 1990.

Apart from the fact that the upcoming movie’s leading stars don’t really match with their real-life prototypes, Scorsese’s biopic may also come as something shockingly different for those who liked Don’t Look Up back in 2021.

McKay’s story shows nothing but a platonic kind of relationship between DiCaprio’s astronomy professor and Lawrence’s doctoral candidate in the same sphere, proving that there can be only mutual professional respect in this case.

Keeping this in mind, chances are that Scorsese’s biopic may make some trouble for itself by ruining the friendly chemistry between the actors of strikingly different age — and, given the whole storyline, the latter is definitely a problem too.
