EXCLUSIVE: A killer role that Leonardo DiCaprio has wanted to play for a long time finally is coming to the forefront after Paramount just closed a splashy deal to acquire the Erik Larson book The Devil In The White City: Murder, Magic And Madness At The Fair That Changed America. There was a big auction that had five studios chasing and three bidding aggressively — Universal and Fox were the others — before Paramount captured a package that has DiCaprio starring and reteaming with his The Wolf Of Wall Street director Martin Scorsese. Billy Ray will write the script. Appian Way’s DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson are producing with Stacey Sher, Scorsese and Emma Tillinger Koskoff. This is a big one for recently minted Paramount Film Group President Marc Evans; it’s expected to be the next collaboration for DiCaprio and Scorsese, who’ve made five films together.

Between book option and Ray’s writing fees, this is a solid seven figure commitment, and much more when the picture gets made. Paramount’s Elizabeth Raposo will oversee it with Evans.

DiCaprio will play one of the most prolific serial killers in Chicago history, the 19th century equivalent of Hannibal Lecter. He has wanted this for a long time, but the project’s second wind occurred after Warner Bros let the rights lapse a month ago on the 2003 nonfiction book (Graham Moore was among the writers who did drafts) and came out of conversations with Par’s Brad Grey and Scorsese and Yorn about the studio being at the center of the next DiCaprio-Scorsese teaming; the studio released 2013’s The Wolf Of Wall Street, which got five Oscar nominations. Yorn, DiCaprio and Scorsese went out with a new take on the material from Ray that got everybody excited all over again. The trick with this property has been interlacing the two main characters, the producer/architect of the World’s Fair and the man who works for him and turns out to be a mass murderer. Ray cracked that, and the town flipped for it.

The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America (Crown Publishers, ISBN 0-609-60844-4) is a 2003 non-fiction book by Erik Larson presented in a novelistic style. The book is based on real characters and events. Leonardo DiCaprio purchased the film rights in 2010.[1]

The book is set in Chicago, circa 1893, intertwining the true tales of Daniel H. Burnham, the architect behind the 1893 World's Fair, and Dr. H. H. Holmes, the serial killer who lured his victims to their deaths in his elaborately constructed "Murder Castle."

Daniel Craig casts doubt on James Bond future with Coventry actors among favourites to replace him

Current James Bond actor Daniel Craig has cast doubt over his future as the beloved spy - with bookmakers' drafting up a list of actors to replace him, including Coventry's very own Richard Armitage and Clive Owen.

Craig - who will star in his fourth Bond film in the upcoming Spectre, which is due for release in November - has hinted that this film could be his last.

Now, though, Craig has suggested that he has no idea if he will return again to play the secret agent, after wrapping up filming of Sam Mendes' latest 007 instalment.

Craig said: "I don't know. I really don't know. Honestly, I'm not trying to be coy. At the moment I can't even conceive it."

"The day I can walk into a pub and someone goes, ‘Oh, there’s Daniel Craig’ and then just leaves me alone, that'll be great."

Among the front-runners to replace Craig as Bond in the eyes of the bookmakers are Homeland star Damian Lewis, Luther actor Idris Elba - who would become the first black man to play Bond - and Henry Cavill, star of Man of Steel and the upcoming Batman vs. Superman film.


Other names in the running on the short-list, with Paddy Power, are Michael Fassbender, Coventry student Richard Armitage, and Kit Harington.

Clive Owen is also on the short-list, at relatively long-odds of 40/1.

Armitage has a much better chance, reportedly, with odds of just 11/1. The Spooks and Hobbit actor attended Pattinson College in the city, where he gained A-Levels in music and English.

Owen, meanwhile, was born in Keresley in 1964 and grew up in the city as one of five brothers.

In the idyllic town of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, two ex-lovers meet for dinner and to reminisce.

Celia retired from the CIA five years ago in order to raise a family, while Henry has never left Vienna station, still mired in that world of secrets and duplicity.

Among their memories is the disastrous hijacking of Royal Jordanian Flight 127, which ended in the deaths of all passengers and crew, as well as the hijackers.

It's a failure that haunts Vienna station to this day.

Henry has come to dinner to finally close the book on that seedy chapter of their history.

One of them is not going to survive this meal.

Roskam’s The Faithful planning summer shoot

24 January 2015 2:11 AM, PST | ScreenDaily | See recent ScreenDaily news »

Oscar-nominated Flemish director Michaël R. Roskam’s Belgian-set feature The Faithful may shoot as soon as this summer; Savage Films presents new projects at Rotterdam.

The film, set in Brussels against the backcloth of the gang war in the city in the early 1990s, is expected to star Matthias Schoenaerts, who worked with Roskam on his debut feature Bullhead.

Production had originally been expected to begin in 2016 but the film’s producer, Bart Van Langendonck of Savage Films, told Screen that the film could move into production much sooner.

“We’re looking at summer of 2015 to shoot,” Van Langendonck said of the film, which Savage is making with Stone Angels in France.

Sales agents are clamouring around the project, which is likely to be packaged up and announced formally in Cannes.

Roskam’s most recent feature was Us drama The Drop, starring Tom Hardy and James Gandolfini in his final role.

Richard Jenkins Joins Epix Spy Drama 'Berlin Station'
The Academy Award nominee will play a veteran of the Cold War in the ten part series.

The Academy Award nominee will play a veteran of the Cold War in the ten part series.
Richard Jenkins has found his next act.

The Visitor actor has joined the ensemble cast of Berlin Station, a ten part contemporary spy series on premium television service Epix. The drama, produced by Paramount TV and Anonymous Content, marks Jenkins return to premium series television since he played Nathaniel Fisher in Six Feet Under. In the new series, he'll portray Steven Frost, a veteran of the Cold War who serves as the CIA’s chief of the Berlin Station.

Production on the series is scheduled to begin this fall and premiere next fall on the network. It follows Daniel Meyer, a newly anointed case officer at the CIA foreign station in Germany who has a clandestine mission: to uncover the source of a leak who has supplied information to a now-famous whistleblower, Thomas Shaw. Guided by jaded veteran Hector DeJean, Daniel learns to contend with the rough-and-tumble world of the field agent. As he dives deeper into the German capital's hall of mirrors and uncovers the threads of a conspiracy that leads back to Washington, Daniel wonders if anyone ever be the same after a posting to Berlin.

Brad Winters will serve as the showrunner and executive producer, while Michael Roskam (The Drop) will executive produce the straight-to-series order and will also direct the first two episodes. Spy novelist Olen Steinhauer (The Tourist) will write and executive produce the series. Eric Roth, Steve Golin, Kerry Kohansky-Roberts, Keith Redmon and Luke Rivett from Anonymous Content will all serve as executive producers.

“Richard is one of the most respected and charismatic actors in the industry and we are honored that he has joined Berlin Station,” said president and CEO of Epix Mark S. Greenberg. “Epix is committed to offering our viewers smart, thought-provoking entertainment and with Berlin Station we will continue to meet that expectation.”

"Richard Jenkins is an enormous talent whose onscreen presence always manages to capture humanity and drama in its most sincere form — whether it's through his sense of humility, humor or intelligence," added president of Paramount TV Amy Powell. "On behalf of the entire creative team behind the show, we take great pride that he will be taking on the role of Frost in Berlin Station, and we are all thrilled to have this opportunity to work with him."

Jenkins has made over sixty feature films in his career, and most recently finished filming Bone Tomahawk, directed by S. Craig Zahler and also starring Kurt Russell. His other credits include The Hollars, God’s Pocket, Step Brothers, Four Minute Mile, White House Down, Eat Pray Love, Friends With Benefits, Dear John and Olive Kitteridge. Jenkins is repped by Gersh and Bill Treusch Management.
