Martin Scorsese is all set to begin shooting his upcoming project, which is based on the life of Frank Sinatra. The new biopic starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence continues the filmmaker’s age-old trend. Scorsese and the Titanic star have worked together before; this will be Lawrence’s first film with the director. The film will see DiCaprio in the lead role, while the actress will play Sinatra’s second wife Ava Gardner.
Scorsese’s last film, Killers of the Flower Moon, received ten Oscar nominations, and since then, the director has laid out the maps for two new films, one about Jesus and the other based on the story of Frank Sinatra.
What old trend will Martin Scorsese follow in his upcoming film Sinatra?
One thing all Martin Scorsese films have in common is that the director never repeats his actresses in other films. While Leonardo DiCaprio is a consistent actor who often works on projects with the director, the Wolf of the Wall Street director brings in new leading ladies for his films. Although Jennifer Lawrence is a new addition to the list of actresses who have worked with Scorsese, she has shared the screen with the Shutter Island actor before.
DiCaprio and Lawrence worked together in a satirical comedy, Don’t Look Up, which was released in 2021. Hence, the announcement of the Hollywood stars reuniting for Martin Scorsese’s film has left fans excited, as they are expecting a crackling chemistry between the two on screen.

How will Martin Scorsese’s film help Jennifer Lawrence top her career?
Jennifer Lawrence has proven her excellence in acting since the early days of her career. Audiences have praised the actress’ performances in films like The Hunger Games and Silver Linings Playbook, as well as many other characters she has portrayed on screen.
Starring in a Martin Scorsese film will elevate Lawrence’s career in Hollywood, as she will get a chance to surpass the long-standing collaboration between DiCaprio and the director. Moreover, the Red Sparrow star can emerge as a strong versatile actress of her generation.
Sinatra’s producers will announce details of the biopic soon.
