Paramount Pictures is in negotiations for the pitch “Roosevelt,” a biopic revolving around the life of Theodore Roosevelt, with Leonardo DiCaprio attached to star as the former president and Martin Scorsese on board to direct.

DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson are producing through their Appian Way banner, along with Scorsese and Emma Koskoff through Sikelia, with Chuck Pacheco also producing. DiCaprio and Scorsese currently have a first-look deal at studio.

Scott Bloom will pen the script.

Leo is nowhere near manly enough to play TR.. He's way too tall and lanky too...

I live Scorsese but I doubt there will be any scene win the film as good as this one in The Wind and the Lion...

I hope Leo's political POV doesn't shatter the illusion he will try to create. TR was a rampant war monger and blatant racist. He was also one of the best presidents we've ever had. Need to do him justice.

And I hope the makeup is better than it was for J. Edgar. fricking atrocious.

Leo may be too fat for the role now.

I can't wait to see what pop music "Marty" picks out to set the tone for turn of the century politics.

None of you guys thought Heath Ledger would be a good Joker.

This movie may never happen. Every few months there's some news release about some movie that Dicaprio will star in with Scorsese directing. He can't direct all of them

Trying to capture that Aviator magic. Say what you want about DiCaprio, but he's good in the biopic. I thought they were very fair to Hughes. Hope that's the same with Teddy, although he was a much more overtly political figure.
