Leonardo Di Caprio will Star in DEEP BLUE GOODBYE

Leonardo DiCaprio is attached to star in a new film over at 20th Century Fox called, The Deep Blue Goodbye. The film is an adaption from John D. MacDonalds mystery novel series, that I haven't read. It's a 21 volume book series! Are they thinking it is good enough to turn into a franchise?

Peter Chernin joins Appian Way's DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson Killoran as producers on the project written by Dana Stevens (For Love of the Game). Amy Robinson also is involved in a producing capacity.

DiCaprio is in line to play Travis McGee, a self-described beach bum who lives aboard 52-foot houseboat the Busted Flush, which he won in a card game, and alleviates his cash-flow problems by hiring on as a "salvage consultant." He only works when his cash runs out. He recovers property for clients, he'll help you find whatever was taken from you, as long as he can keep half. While doing this he gets into a lot of danger and romance in sun-drenched Florida.

Yeah, that sounds like something DiCaprio would do.
