Leonardo DiCaprio is in talks to star in fellow Oscar winner Guillermo Del Toro’s new thriller Nightmare Alley.
Del Toro, who wrote the script with Kim Morgan, is planning to make the project his return to directing after winning the Best Picture Academy Award for The Shape of Water last year (18).
The film is based on William Lindsay Gresham’s novel about a conman who teams up with a psychiatrist to trick people into giving them money.
The book has already been turned into a movie – 1947’s Nightmare Alley, which starred Tyrone Power and Joan Blondell.
Meanwhile, DiCaprio has a busy summer ahead of him – he stars in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
