Deadline: Scorsese, DiCaprio Teaming on Another Film for Apple TV+
01 AUGUST 2022 - It looks like Martin Scorsese’s director’s chair isn’t going anywhere, and neither is Leonardo DiCaprio’s trailer. A piece from Deadline says the two, currently working on Killers of the Flower Moon for the Cupertino-streamer, have another film planned for Apple, “an adaptation of David Grann’s book The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny, and Murder.” Actually, it’s kind of a re-team of three parties. Grann also wrote the book Killers of the Flower Moon. Of The Wager, Deadline says:
The film set in the 1740s will watch as the British naval ship the Wager is wrecked on a desolate island off the tip of South America, with the captain and crew then struggling to survive and maintain order, while battling not only the most extreme elements but their own human natures.
So… another small budget, tiny film from Mr. Scorsese. No word on production or release dates for The Wager.
