Martin Scorsese’s ‘The Wager’ | Leonardo Dicaprio

Leonardo DiCaprio, Martin Scorsese Tackling Naval Survival Movie ‘The Wager’ for Apple – The Hollywood Reporter

Set in the 1740s, Wager’s story is set in motion when a patched-together boat with 30 emaciated men landed on the coast of Brazil. The men were the surviving crew of British ship that was chasing a Spanish vessel and had crashed onto an island in South America’s Patagonia region. Their tales of surviving the seas and elements made them heroes.

However, six months later another vessel, even more beat up than the first one, ended up on the coat of Chile, this one with three men. These new sailors charged that the other men were actually mutineers.

As accusations and counter-acusations flew, the British Admiralty set a special trial to uncover the truth of what exactly happened on the island, exposing a story of not just a captain and crew struggling to survive while battling some the most extreme elements on the planet, but also battling their own human natures.

It will be interesting to see who Leo plays.

I'd love to see Brendan Fraser move into a bigger role this time around. Need him to start cashing in that Oscar Winner prestige.

I really wanted that Teddy Roosevelt biopic.

I need someone to make a good Teddy biopic so bad. Marty and Leo would have been perfect, but I could see others pull it off.
