Director Martin Scorsese is going back to the biopic for his latest project. According to Variety, Scorsese has signed on to direct Sinatra, a biopic of legendary singer/actor Frank Sinatra.

Phil Alden Robinson is writing the screenplay based off the life of the late singer and actor for Universal Pictures and Mandalay Pictures. Both companies have been developing the project for over a year, after securing the star's life rights and music rights, a process which took years to finish.

Peter Guber and Cathy Schulman are producing the film. No production schedule was given at this time.
