Director Martin Scorsese, screenwriter John Logan, and Leonardo DiCaprio (all from The Aviator) will reteam to do a remake of Akira Kurosawa’s 1948 classic Drunken Angel for Warner Bros. Pictures.
Logan will pen the screenplay based on the film set in postwar Japan, which centered on a young criminal who is being treated for tuberculosis by an alcoholic doctor.
Scorsese and DiCaprio are currently collaborating on The Departed, a remake of the Hong Kong crime thriller Infernal Affairs.
