Scorsese just does not have enough time for Bob Marley

It seems that Martin Scorsese is very popular as of late, and so much so, that he is dropping projects after signing on to do them. Something about "conflicting schedules."

I wonder if the Old Blues Project has anything to do with it?

As it seems, or actually as it is, Scorsese has relinquished directorial duties of the authorized Bob Marly project. Jonathan Demme will take on the task of bringing the documentary to the big screen. Do not fret, Demme has done music related films in the past, such as Talking Heads Stop Making Sense, and Neil Young's Heart of Gold. So we should be ok.

I just have that feeling Scorsese will take on the Frank Sinatra Project after all. I guess that is just good old Enterpolics. Although he has not stated it publicly yet, whether he will take on the Frank Sinatra Biopic, we know what Scorsese gets his tickles from and this will not be too far for the legendary director leap to, in terms of creativity.

I likes :: Is Scorsese getting his hands on the right material?

So as it seems that our king of gangster films may be getting his hands on the Sinatra biopic. This will be a major step in keeping the Sinatra name alive and well. As the past has it rumor wise, Sinatra was a stooge for the mafia, of course these are unproven rumors and his daughter wants it to stay that way. As far as her late fathers involvement in the mafia, this is something that she does not want to speak of or to have him depicted as such in the film.

Tina Sinatra is the strong arm in the family, no pun intended. It is just that without him here to prove his name or clear any misconceptions it will be best to leave allegations alone. I would assume that would be the reason. Why would there be any other reason?

Now keep in mind that Tina is stating that it is too early to say whether or not the famed director will take on the film, but he is a shoe in to direct it. So lets keep our fingers crossed and vote for Scorsese on this one. It will be a great film if he does it. He does not allow garbage to come out of his hut of hits. Then again he may want to add the rumors to it, so I am sure he will sit down and see what he can throw in there and what he can not. This is something that he is known for and it's more than likely that he would want to add the realism of the world Sinatra had to face. So I think there will be at minimum of some sort of mention to the rumors that surrounded Sinatra's career.
