Leonardo DiCaprio is in talks to star in Guillermo del Toro's adaptation of William Lindsay Gresham's novel ""Nightmare Alley"", which was previosuly adapted into the 1947 film of the same name starring Tyrone Powell and Joan Blondell.
The story follows an ambitious con-man who teams up with a female psychiatrist who is even more corrupt than he is. While their mentalist scam is effective, eventually she turns the tables on him. Del Toro penned the script alongside Kim Morgan, and he will reteam with "The Shape of Water" studio Fox Searchlight, which has acquired worldwide distribution rights. Production is set to begin this fall as casting is underway.
DiCaprio's last acting project was 2015's "The Revenant", which earned him an Oscar. He can also be seen this year in Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood".
