Actor Leonardo DiCaprio is teaming up again with director Martin Scorsese to tell the story of President Teddy Roosevelt’s life in an upcoming film, according to a report.
DiCaprio, a vocal climate activist, is said to have been drawn to Roosevelt’s conservation legacy, per Deadline. The country’s youngest president is often celebrated for his work creating reserves, preserves, national parks and forests, after first serving as President William McKinley’s vice president and New York governor.
The drama – which was first pitched years ago – will be written by Scott Bloom for Paramount.
DiCaprio and Scorsese first collaborated on “Gangs of New York” in 2002, before working together on “The Aviator,” “Shutter Island,” “The Departed,” and “The Wolf Of Wall Street.” The pair’s films have won nine Academy Awards.
