Leonardo DiCaprio to Become The Gambler For Martin Scorsese

Leonardo DiCaprio is about to roll the dice on a new project.

Leonardo DiCaprio is about to roll the dice on a new project. DiCaprio will star in the remake of The Gambler, which will be directed by Martin Scorsese. DiCaprio will play the title character, Axel Freed, a man with a debilitating gambling addiction that propels his life into a dark place (James Caan originated the role in 1974). The Gambler remake will be something of a Departed reunion; not only are DiCaprio and Scorsese working together for the fifth time, but they'll reteam with screenwriter William Monahan (who won an Oscar for the 2004 drama).

Hugo Trailer: All Aboard Scorsese's Magical Mystery Tour

Forget what you think you know about Martin Scorsese movies, because the acclaimed director has gone in a completely different direction for his next release, Hugo.

Forget what you think you know about Martin Scorsese movies, because the acclaimed director has gone in a completely different direction for his next release, Hugo. Based on the novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Scorsese takes us on an adventure, told through the eyes of a young orphan (Asa Butterfield) living in a train station in Paris. When he meets a young friend (Chloe Moretz), they team up to discover a world of magic and whimsy.

The trailer is absolutely gorgeous, and suffice it to say that it took my breath away. Sacha Baron Cohen seems perfectly cast as a villainous station inspector, while Jude Law appears briefly as Hugo's loving father. Though most of Scorsese's trademarks (Leonardo DiCaprio, gratuitous violence) are missing here, his impeccable style and talent shine through. The must-see movie hits theaters this Thanksgiving, but check it out when you read more

Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen enjoyed a meal with director Martin Scorsese and their youngest child last week in London. Martin recently directed Sacha alongside fellow Englishmen Jude Law and Ben Kingsley in his adaption of the 1930s children's tale of Hugo Cabret. Isla and Sacha have been living in the UK with their kids while their $19 million dollar home awaits their return to LA. Work, though, has kept the family in England, and Isla made her first post-baby red carpet appearance at the October premiere of Burke and Hare. Next up for Isla is her wacky animated movie Rango, which hits theaters in the US in March.

Hollywood is bringing together its acting dream team (and no, I'm not talking about The Expendables). Al Pacino is reportedly circling a film with fellow heavyweights Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese; Scorsese regular Joe Pesci may also join the project. Titled The Irishman, the script follows the story of hitman Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran as told in the book I Heard You Paint Houses. So yes, it's a mobster drama — what else would you expect from these four?
