In July 2022, Deadline reported that Scorsese and DiCaprio were teaming up once again to adapt The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny, and Murder by Grann into a movie. Scorsese and DiCaprio’s latest project, Killers of the Flower Moon, is also an adaptation of a Grann novel and hits theaters on October 20, 2023.
Speaking with Scorsese in a recent interview, The Times confirmed The Wager would be the Goodfellas director’s next project. The publication described the upcoming movie as “another huge production.”
“I don’t want to slow down,” Scorsese said. “At my age, your body tells you at a certain point you need to pace yourself, but I’m still searching for, as I mentioned earlier, the answer to how we take care of each other. I thought that my films should reflect that. I have tried the best that I can.”
Additionally, Scorsese said he’s also adapting Home, a 2008 novel by Marilynne Robinson, into a feature film. He’s also previously spoken about working on a new movie about Jesus he decided to make after meeting with Pope Francis in May 2023.
Published in April 2023, The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny, and Murder is a non-fiction novel about a British vessel that left England in 1740. While chasing down a long-lost treasure in South America, the ship crashed on an isolated island surrounding Argentina, leaving the crew stranded.
“The men, after being marooned for months and facing starvation, built the flimsy craft and sailed for more than a hundred days, traversing nearly 3,000 miles of storm-wracked seas,” the novel’s synopsis reads. “They were greeted as heroes. But then … six months later, another, even more decrepit craft landed on the coast of Chile. This boat contained just three castaways, and they told a very different story. The thirty sailors who landed in Brazil were not heroes – they were mutineers. The first group responded with countercharges of their own, of a tyrannical and murderous senior officer and his henchmen. It became clear that while stranded on the island the crew had fallen into anarchy, with warring factions fighting for dominion over the barren wilderness. As accusations of treachery and murder flew, the Admiralty convened a court martial to determine who was telling the truth. The stakes were life-and-death—for whomever the court found guilty could hang.”

A recent video from director has drawn the ire of the film industry after the filmmaker took some playful jabs at legendary director.
Even among Hideo Kojima's most diehard fans (not to be confused with Die-Hardman), I think it's a damn near universal opinion that Kojima made the wrong call when he replaced longtime voice actor David Hayter with Kiefer Sutherland in Metal Gear Solid 5. It didn't help that compared to Hayter's gravelly-but-slightly-goofy performance, Sutherland seemed a bit subdued—or phoned in, depending on who you ask.

In 2021, Quentin Tarantino defended his intention to make “just” 10 movies and retire, saying, “I know film history, and from here on in, directors do not get better.” That view of both artistry and film is squarely at odds with Martin Scorsese’s historic body of work. Scorsese had already made his 10th feature-length narrative film by 1986. He is now 80 years old, and his 27th, Killers of the Flower Moon, is a strong argument that directors are still capable of groundbreaking greatness late in life — and in Scorsese’s case, continued exhilarating experimentation and discovery.

Grand Theft Auto or GTA fans have been excited as of late, with the release date of GTA 6 potentially being announced soon. Over the last few weeks, reports have hinted that GTA 6 might have a late 2024 or early 2025 release with Raymond James analysts upgrading the stock of Take-Two Interactive considering “very interesting” 2025 and beyond. And if 2018's Red Dead Redemption 2 is anything to go by, then GTA 6 could be the game that raises the benchmark of gaming for years to come.
