It looks like the relationship between Academy Award winner Martin Scorsese and Apple is set to continue!
After stepping up as a producer on his next film Killers of the Flower Moon, Apple has found its next Martin Scorsese project and its subject is a band the Oscar winner knows well. Deadline has first reported that Scorsese is on board to direct and produce a new untitled biopic on the Grateful Dead with Jonah Hill on board to play the group’s frontman, Jerry Garcia.
Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, are writing the script with Rick Yorn of LBI Entertainment joining Hill and Scorsese as producers. The key to this deal is that Apple has rights to use the groups musical catalogue for the film.
