Martin Scorsese's next project will be an adaptation of David Grann's The Wager and will star Leonardo DiCaprio.
confirmed The Wager would be the Goodfellas director’s next project. The publication described the upcoming movie as “another huge production.”
“I don’t want to slow down,” Scorsese said. “At my age, your body tells you at a certain point you need to pace yourself, but I’m still searching for, as I mentioned earlier, the answer to how we take care of each other. I thought that my films should reflect that. I have tried the best that I can.” Additionally, Scorsese said he’s also adapting Home, a 2008 novel by Marilynne Robinson, into a feature film. He’s also previously spoken about working on a new movie about Jesus he decided to make after meeting with Pope Francis in May 2023.Published in April 2023, The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny, and Murder is a non-fiction novel about a British vessel that left England in 1740.
“The men, after being marooned for months and facing starvation, built the flimsy craft and sailed for more than a hundred days, traversing nearly 3,000 miles of storm-wracked seas,” the novel’s synopsis reads. “They were greeted as heroes. But then … six months later, another, even more decrepit craft landed on the coast of Chile. This boat contained just three castaways, and they told a very different story. The thirty sailors who landed in Brazil were not heroes – they were mutineers.
