10 Movies That Just Got Cancelled

7. Untitled Scorsese & DiCaprio Project

It's no secret that the great Martin Scorsese constantly has numerous projects on the go, and when the time comes for him to depart this Earth, he'll unavoidably leave a pile of fascinatingly unrealised films to his name.

It was recently reported that Scorsese actually got incredibly close to shooting a new film this past summer with his regular collaborator Leonardo DiCaprio; a project DiCaprio apparently dropped out of Damien Chazelle's Evil Knievel film to be a part of.

The exact project in question hasn't been publicly revealed, and given the numerous unfilmed Scorsese/DiCaprio collabs over the years, it could be one of many. The most likely candidates include their long-gestating Frank Sinatra biopic, an adaptation of Marilynne Robinson's acclaimed novel Home, serial killer dramatisation The Devil in the White City, and a Hawaii-set crime drama co-starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt.

Whichever one it was, it didn't happen, and considering that the filmmaker turns 83 later this year, the time window is naturally beginning to close for most of these projects to get made.

Scorsese has approached his advancing age with good humour, though, noting that he's "got to get going" and pick a new project in a recent interview.
