Since the bestselling book titled "The Devil in the White City" received positive feedback, fans have been anticipating a movie adaptation of their favorite paperback. Powerhouse film partners Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese have chosen the book as basis for their next film project.

The Dynamic Duo

During an interview, Martin Scorsese alleged that "The Devil in the White City" script is currently being written. In fact, his genius feedback will be expected come January as to how he can develop the Erik Larson story to film, reported Cinema Blend.

The award-winning director also claimed that he would be working with Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio in this upcoming project as he has already purchased the film rights for "The Devil in the White City." Furthermore, their plans reportedly began as early as 2010.

Scorsese and DiCaprio had worked together in the past where the films they created had earned tremendous film acknowledgements such as "The Aviator," "Gangs of New York," "The Wolf of Wall Street," and "The Departed." The latter gave the director a one-way ticket and won his first Oscar as Best Director, reported Consequence of Sound.

The Book Itself

Larson's book "The Devil in the White City" first received cognizance last 2003 as it was labeled the best-selling novel of that year. The book tells a true-to-life story of the 1893 World's Fair wherein a serial killer used the event to terrorize his victims. The said serial killer named Dr. H. H. Holmes would be portrayed by DiCaprio.

The book likewise discussed the linking stories of the killer and that of architect Daniel Burnham, the real persona of DiCaprio's character. He was known to have created the "Murder Castle" where at least nine confirmed people had faced their death. When captured, Burnham confessed that he had a total of 200 victims.

At present, there has been no confirmation as to when "The Devil in the White City" will start production or when the expected release date would be. Will Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese earn Oscar awards for this movie?
