Fans of Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese, gather round! Here’s another exciting piece of news: it has been confirmed that the Oscar-winning actor will star in the lead role of the upcoming film adaptation of Marilynne Robinson's novel Home.
Scorsese had previously expressed his intention to adapt the book, and now Publishers Weekly has reported that Leonardo DiCaprio is set to star in the upcoming adaptation.
Home tells the story of Jack and Gloria, the adult children of Reverend Robert Boughton, who return to care for their dying father.
The Home adaptation is one of several films that Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio are planning to collaborate on. They are also reportedly working on a film adaptation of The Devil in the White City, a crime drama set in Hawaii, and a movie about Frank Sinatra.
Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio have had a highly successful collaboration over the years, working together on several critically acclaimed films.
Gangs of New York was their first collab which got 10 Oscar nominations, but no major wins, while The Aviator (2004) won 5 Oscars, including Best Cinematography. Their next mutual work, The Departed (2006), earned 4 Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director for Scorsese.
Another successful project, Shutter Island (2010), was done just 4 years after The Departed, receiving positive reviews but no major awards. One of the most acclaimed works of Leo and Scorsese was The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), which got 5 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, but didn’t win any of them.
However, DiCaprio won a Golden Globe. The Irishman (2019) earned 10 Oscar nominations, but no major wins. Their final collaboration, Killers of the Flower Moon (2023), has received 11 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director, but has yet to win any major awards.
