Oscar-winner Leonardo DiCaprio is in talks to star in the long-awaited "The Devil in the White City". The film is an adaptation of Erik Larson's 2004 bestselling nonfiction book "White City: Murder, Magic and Madness at the Fair That Changed America", and will be produced and directed by Martin Scorsese. It has been reported that there is currently no script for the film.
The story follows Dr. HH Holmes, a cunning serial killer believed to have murdered anywhere from 27 to 200 people at a time when the city of Chicago was enthralled with hosting the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893. The book plays off the contrasts between the hopeful expectations and wonders presented at the exposition and the dark deeds of Holmes, who maneuvered in its shadows and built a carefully-concealed house of horrors.
The project has been in development for a long time. DiCaprio first nabbed the rights to the book in 2010, and at one point in time was even intended as a Hulu series. DiCaprio and Scorsese would also produce along with Stacey Sher, Rick Yorn and DiCaprio’s Appian Way partner Jennifer Davisson.
