Martin Scorsese’s Life of Jesus and Frank Sinatra Biopic Postponed

As a cinephile with a deep appreciation for the art of filmmaking, I must say that the news about Martin Scorsese’s postponed projects has left me a tad disheartened. Having witnessed his masterful storytelling and cinematic vision unfold in films like The Departed, Goodfellas, and most recently Killers of the Flower Moon, I was eagerly awaiting his interpretations of the lives of Jesus and Frank Sinatra.


As a gamer, I was pretty hyped about Martin Scorsese’s upcoming projects, especially the Life of Jesus and the Frank Sinatra biopic. According to Variety, he had planned to start filming these back-to-back towards the end of this year. But it looks like neither film will be shot in 2021 now.

The production of a movie about the Life of Jesus is set to start initially. This film is adapted from a 1973 novel by Shūsaku Endō, who also wrote the book that influenced Martin Scorsese’s Silence. The Life of Jesus portrays the intricate life and era of Jesus Christ. As for the cast, no official announcements have been made, but Andrew Garfield has shown interest in the project.

As per the latest update, Martin Scorsese has shown dedication towards producing The Life of Jesus, a project that is still undergoing development. Previously, he had been funding the film personally with plans to film in Israel, Italy, and Egypt. However, these plans were put on hold following the announcement of a delay.

Who was Involved in Martin Scorsese’s Frank Sinatra Biopic?

According to reports, Martin Scorsese’s upcoming movie, which focuses on the life of the iconic singer Frank Sinatra, appears to be in a more advanced stage of production than his project about the life of Jesus. Leonardo DiCaprio is rumored to take on the role of Sinatra, while Jennifer Lawrence may portray Ava Gardner, Sinatra’s second wife.

The report indicates that those involved in the Sinatra project, such as artisans, were informed around mid-August that the initial start date of November was cancelled without specifying a new date.

It’s unclear whether Martin Scorsese received permission from the Sinatra family, led by his daughter Tina, that might be the reason for the delay in the release of the movie.

Currently, no significant movie studio is officially involved with Martin Scorsese’s Frank Sinatra biography. Nevertheless, there have been rumors suggesting Apple and Sony as potential partners for this project.

In a natural and easy-to-read manner, the statement could be rephrased as follows: Martin Scorsese’s most recent movie, titled “Killers of the Flower Moon,” received ten Oscar nominations, one of which was for Best Picture.
