According to deadline, the duo, who have already collaborated on numerous projects, including SHUTTER ISLAND, THE DEPARTED and GANGS OF NEW YORK, have been attached to plans for a paramount remake of the 1974 drama THE GAMBLER.
The story follows a literature professor as his gambling addiction spirals out of control, and originally starred James Caan (THE GODFATHER). Caan pulled off one of the most powerful performances of his career in the movie, and will be an extremely tough act to follow for DiCaprio. Literally.
William Monahan is writing the screenplay, while Irwin Winkler and Bob Chartoff will co-produce the film.
Martin has been a film buff (or geek, if you prefer) for as long as he can remember. However, he lives and longs for storytelling of all kinds, and writes across numerous mediums to feed his insatiable appetite. He lives in north-west London, and his favourite films are, possibly: PAN'S LABYRINTH, THEY LIVE, PSYCHO, HIGH FIDELITY, ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, STAND BY ME, SIDEWAYS and OFFICE SPACE.
