Scorsese's new projects: DiCaprio & Lawrence as Sinatra & Gardner + Andrew Garfield Jesus movie
According to Variey, 81 years old director Martin Scorsese is eyeing two new projects that he plans to shoot two films back to back:
-He would want to direct a Frank Sinatra biopic with Leonardo DiCaprio as Sinatra and Jennifer Lawrence as his second wife Ava Gardner, but Sinatra's daughter Tina Sinatra controls her father’s estate and hasn’t yet given her blessing to the film.

- He's also working on “Life of Jesus” with Andrew Garfield and Miles Teller, a film based on Shūsaku Endō’s 1973 book that he would independently finance.
Martin Scorsese would like to reunite with “Silence” star Andrew Garfield for his new Jesus movie, though it’s unclear if the actor is being eyed for the titular role or to play one of the disciples.
