Logan Brings DiCaprio Back to '30s Hollywood
The last time
gay screenwriter John Logan and actor Leonardo DiCaprio
teamed up on a project was Martin Scorsese's The Aviator,
a film bio of Howard Hughes that focused on the legendary
eccentric's stint in 1930s Hollywood, where the mogul ran RKO Studios
and romanced the likes of Katharine Hepburn and Ava Gardner.
Now
Logan and DiCaprio will return to Tinseltown's golden age with director
Michael Mann.
The still-untitled project, written by Logan, will feature DiCaprio as a
Hollywood private eye who hushes up celebrity scandals and keeps stars
out of the tabloid headlines.
Characters in the film will include icons of the era, including
legendary diva Judy Garland. Studios are apparently lining up to
win the rights to the film, which will boast a budget of $120 million
and all the Oscar power big names like this can muster.
