Ace Hollywood director Martin Scorsese is all set to collaborate once again with actor Leonardo DiCaprio for another Apple digital film, ‘The Wager’. According to Variety, Scorsese is attached to direct an adaptation of New Yorker journalist David Grann’s upcoming nonfiction book ‘The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny, and Murder’ for Apple.&nbsp;

Grann also wrote the book ‘Killers of the Flower Moon,’ which investigates a series of murders of Osage people that took place in the 1920s, which is already being made into a film by Scorsese and is scheduled for release in 2023.

The upcoming thriller ‘The Wager’ marks the director and the Oscar-winning actor’s sixth collaboration after ‘Gangs of New York’, ‘Aviation’, ‘The Audition’, ‘The Wolf of Wall Street', and their forthcoming ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’. 'The Wager,' which will be released next April, tells the story of the same-named British naval ship from the 1700s.

During a secret mission to obtain a Spanish treasure-filled galleon, the crew ended up shipwrecked on a desolate island off the coast of Patagonia. Stranded and forced to survive against the elements, the crew descends into anarchy, and when they return to civilization, they end up on opposite sides of an intense court-martial, with accusations of murder and treachery against several parties, Variety reported. The remaining star cast of the film will be announced soon.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, makers are currently eyeing to premiere their upcoming period thriller film ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ at the Cannes or Venice Film Festival 2023. Apart from that, Leonardo was last seen in the satirical ‘Don’t Look Up’ which streamed on Netflix.&nbsp;

The film gathered positive feedback from the netizens and also starred Jennifer Lawrence, Rob Morgan and Jonah Hill in prominent roles. Scorsese, on the other hand, last directed a crime thriller film ‘The Irishman’ which starred Robert De Niro in the lead role.&nbsp;

Martin Scorsese is teaming up with Leonardo DiCaprio again for another thriller project

To work with Leonardo DiCaprio must be a delightful event in any actor's life. But, to be praised and called a 'friend' for life is a privilege only Jonah Hill enjoys. In an exclusive, invite-only global press conference for the highly anticipated movie 'Don't Look Up'--that WION attended--Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio talked about working with the hilarious actor in multiple movies so far: 'Django Unchained' (2012), 'The Wolf of Wall Street' (2013), and the upcoming satire 'Don't Look Up', and he&nbsp;had some truly touching words to say about his long-time friend and co-star.&nbsp;

 
When Leo (as he is lovingly called in the community) was asked about having developed a friendship with Hill and if on their third film together, the off-screen chemistry affected the production, he responded saying yes.&nbsp;"That's right, Django (Unchained), too, that's our (second film together). Look,&nbsp;I'll just start right out of the gate and say he is an absolute genius, this young man, this friend of mine. His ability to improvise and take control of a scene and have the narrative be shifted in the most amazing, colorful ways is a sight to witness and something truly remarkable to experience. He's absolutely a genius. Love to work with him on a hundred more films," the 'The Revenant' (2015) star told us.&nbsp;

To which, Jonah Hill coyly said, "Thanks, buddy," while the rest of the cast broke into a laughter, before adding, "Well, my time to answer.&nbsp;I agree with what he said (laughs!) Real talk. Like, I've worked with now pretty much all the best actors in the world, a lot of whom are up here right now. And there's been no more loyal friend or anything I've ever made in show business, and then aside from that, put all those feelings aside. The way-what you see when they yell action and what he does, truly-no disrespect to anyone, nothing I've ever seen like it."&nbsp;

 
The attendees, comprising a heavily pregnant Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Tyler Perry with director Adam McKay, appreciated the seemingly genuine love between these two actors and were highly appreciative of what one had to say about the other.&nbsp;

Hill, who plays the character Jason Orlean in the movie, went on to speak about the hilarious scenes they had with one another, explaining, "Look, I don't like nerds, and I have always been harsh in position on it. No dude, he's the best. I mean, I am&nbsp;sitting up here with a lot of other of the best, and I feel that way genuinely. But having made a few movies with Leo and lived with him. But he's the best person. Shuffle that all aside, if I didn't know him and I had to be like what's it like to work with another actor that's like who's the best actor, to me, I'd choose him every time."

 
Visibly flattered by Hill's kind words, the megastar hunched forward and said, calmly, "Thank you, Jonah."

 
"It's true," concluded Hill.
