As a gamer, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve got some exciting news: I’ve just learned that I’ll be immersing myself in the world of “The Devil in the White City” soon! This long-awaited feature adaptation has been scooped up by 20th Century Studios. Can’t wait to see how they bring this captivating tale to life on the big screen!
The film, titled after Erik Larson’s 2003 best-selling true-crime novel, is currently being worked on at the studio. Discussions are underway for Leonardo DiCaprio to take the lead role and Martin Scorsese to direct it.
The movie, with the same name as Erik Larson’s popular 2003 true-crime book, is being made at the studio right now. They’re considering Leonardo DiCaprio for the main part and Martin Scorsese as the director.
At present, our project’s development phase is just getting started, with no script written yet. However, renowned personalities like DiCaprio, Scorsese, Stacey Sher, Rick Yorn, and Jennifer Davisson are overseeing the production process.
Larson’s book titled “The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Transformed America” is a narrative that unfolds in Chicago during the late 1800s, revolving around two key figures – Daniel Burnham, an architect responsible for the World’s Fair, and H.H. Holmes, a notorious serial killer.
In the year 2010, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Leonardo DiCaprio was working on a movie adaptation of the novel using his production company, Appian Way. Initially, he had considered playing the character of Sherlock Holmes.
Previously, Kathryn Bigelow was slated to helm an earlier adaptation, whereas a different rendition featured Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner.
2019 saw Hulu initiating a project to adapt a book into a series, with Keanu Reeves signed up for the lead role initially. Todd Field was slated to direct the first two episodes, while Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese were involved as producers. However, in 2023, it was announced that the series development had been halted.
20th Century Studios President David Greenbaum, joined by Production Presidents Steve Abell and Sarah Shepard (Senior VP of Production), will be in charge of the feature film project for the studio.
More to come.
