7. Sinatra

Who's Involved: Martin Scorsese directs a script from Phil Alden Robinson (Field of Dreams), and it's widely believed that Leonardo DiCaprio will be starring in the title role. What's It About: A biopic of legendary singer and actor Frank Sinatra. Why We Should Care: Because this movie has been on Scorsese's plate for a long time, and it looks like he might finally get to it after finishing work on his current project Silence. It's perfect subject matter for the director, and DiCaprio is definitely the right age for the part now. Could it finally be the movie to scoop him the Oscar he so desperately wants? When's It Due: Certainly not before 2017, and 2018 is much more likely.
