New Mystery Movie with Scorsese & DiCaprio May Be Their Best One Yet

Few collaborations in the world of film have shone as brightly as Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio's. As their sixth feature-length movie, "Killers of the Flower Moon," approaches its much-anticipated October release date, the dynamic duo is already planning their next cinematic adventure. This time, they're breaking new ground by adapting David Grann's nonfiction book "The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny, and Murder."

David Grann, the acclaimed author who wrote the New York Times bestseller source material for "Killers of the Flower Moon," offers his storytelling prowess to this future production once more. With "The Wager" set to be produced under the Apple Original Films label, it's clear that the Scorsese-DiCaprio partnership is a winning formula. Apple's enthusiasm for this project is matched by Scorsese and DiCaprio's eagerness to begin on this cinematic trip as soon as the production of "Killers of the Flower Moon" is over.

A Dynamic Duo's Ambitious Portfolio

While "The Wager" is on the horizon, Martin Scorsese has three more projects in various states of development that demonstrate his unwavering passion to storytelling:

• Grateful Dead/Jerry Garcia Biopic: Starring Jonah Hill, this biographical picture promises to be a musical trip through Jerry Garcia's life and legacy as a rock music legend.

• A Movie About Jesus: Scorsese's investigation of the life of Jesus, inspired by his visit with Pope Francis, is poised to offer a unique take on one of history's most renowned individuals.

• Theodore Roosevelt Biopic: Initially rumored to be led by Leonardo DiCaprio, the project's future has been unknown since its introduction in 2017. However, the Scorsese-DiCaprio partnership continues in other projects.

"The Wager": A High-Seas Thriller

"The Wager" brings viewers to the 1740s, when a shabby boat carrying 30 starving men made landing on the coast of Brazil. These guys were the survivors of a British ship that became stranded on an island in South America's Patagonia region while pursuing a Spanish vessel. Their stories of survival against the brutal sea and severe conditions elevated them to the status of heroes.

The story takes a grim turn six months later, when an even more dilapidated vessel reaches on the Chilean coast. It contains only three sailors this time, who accuse the passengers on the first boat of mutiny. The British Admiralty steps in, convening a special tribunal to investigate the happenings on the island. What follows is a riveting story of survival in one of the world's toughest environments, mixed with the intricacies of human nature.

While the screenplay for "The Wager" has yet to be revealed, the potential of Eric Roth, the writer of "Killers of the Flower Moon," returning for this project is fascinating. The production team includes Imperative Entertainment's Dan Friedkin and Bradley Thomas, Scorsese's Sikelia Productions, and DiCaprio's Appian Way Productions alongside partner Jennifer Davisson.
