In 2000, Martin Scorsese planned a film starring John Travolta as Frank Sinatra and Tom Hanks as Dean Martin. But the project never came to fruition.
Ideas for a Sinatra biopic (for the big screen) have been floating around Hollywood for decades. Martin Scorsese is a huge fan and has mentioned being very interested in making a film about Sinatra on several occasions. This will be the first and only "official" film on the singer's life.
Director of photography Michael Ballhaus was originally going to film this movie for Martin Scorsese, but Michael Ballhaus passed away in 2017.
Martin Scorsese was originally attached to direct, but he left the project due to conflicts with Frank Sinatra's estate.
