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...

didn't they use a bunch of cosmetics and stuff on him to play Hoover?

I'm all for the Scorsese-DiCaprio duo, but not sure about this film. Those two have become the "great white buffalo" money grab though, so it could be great. Hard to bet against them.

I'd much prefer The Black Hand or Devil in the White City.

Leo is the man but I'm not big on him playing Teddy Roosevelt.

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.

He played a blatant racist in Django. I'm sure he'll be fine from a political perspective.

They've been talking about making this movie for years now. Glad to see it finally has momentum.

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.
