Leonardo DiCaprio will venture back into the gritty world of Shutter Island author Dennis Lehane.
The Bostonian author’s forthcoming novel Live By Night has been acquired by Warner Bros. and Leo’s Appian Way production company as a potential starring vehicle for the actor.
“The novel uses some of the characters from Lehane’s sprawling period novel The Given Day and brings them into Prohibition. The Given Day, itself a wonderful novel, was originally optioned by Sam Raimi but that lapsed,” according to Deadline.
