Martin Scorsese’s ‘Silence’ and ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’
Martin Scorsese is very busy director these days. He’s attached (again) to helm The Wolf of Wall Street with Leonardo DiCaprio involved.
Ridley Scott was previously set up to direct the film for Warner Bros. that was originally offered to Scorsese.
So, Scorsese and DiCaprio will be re-teaming once more time for an adaptation of Jordan Belfort‘s 2008 memoir The Wolf of Wall Street.
But we already learned that something new is coming!
Apparently, Scorsese’s next movie will be Silence, an adaptation of Shusaku Endo‘s novel of the same name. I know this sounds familiar to you, and you might remember us writing about that back in February 2009.
Day-Lewis And Del Toro To Star In Scorsese’s Silence
Daniel Day-Lewis and Benicio Del Toro are negotiating with Martin Scorsese to star in his next movie “Silence.” Gael Garcia Bernal is also in talks to star in Scorsese’s upcoming film.
The movie is based on a novel of the same name by Shusaku Endo which was adapted by Jay Cocks.
The drama is set in the 17th century as two Jesuit priests face violence and persecution when they travel to Japan to locate their mentor and to spread the gospel of Christianity.
“Silence” would mark the third time that Day-Lewis and Scorsese have worked together. They previously collaborated on 1993′s “The Age Of Innocence” and “Gangs Of New York” from 2002, for which Day-Lewis was nominated for an Oscar. The film would be the first collaboration for Martin Scorsese and Benicio Del Toro.
