Just in from Variety: Martin Scorsese will direct the biopic Sinatra for Universal Pictures and Mandalay Pictures. Universal and Mandalay have been quietly developing the project after securing the story rights and music rights from Frank Sinatra Enterprises, a process that took years. Now the question is: who'll play Frank?
Kevin Spacey is too old to span the lifetime, though I bet he's lobbying for the role as I type this.
I propose the obvious.
From my favorite Sinatra album, Live in Australia with the Red Norvo Quintet (1959):
I have to find a way to wake the dead because I want to go to this with my Dad. The man did not like to be woken up, but I know he'd make an exception for Sinatra or Nicklaus.
Frankie: The Original Original Gangsta.
