Leonardo DiCaprio in Body of Lies

Leonardo DiCaprio is in negotiation with Warner Bros. to star in an adaptation of the new David Ignatius novel, Body of Lies, according to Variety. Ridley Scott will direct the project, which reunites DiCaprio with screenwriter William Monahan, Oscar-winning writer of The Departed.

DiCaprio’s deal has to be negotiated, but Leo already has worked the picture into his busy schedule. He’ll make it this fall after first reteaming with Titanic co-star Kate Winslet on Revolutionary Road, the Sam Mendes-directed DreamWorks drama that shoots in April.
