Frank Sinatra and Jesus movies put on hold

Just saw yesterday that The Devil in the White City is back on track to get made.

I'm getting a little tired of the biopics/historical dramas Scorsese's been exclusively focusing since 2011. In the old days, he would jump back and forth between quiet, character-focused dramas (Mean Streets, Taxi Driver), crime films (Goodfellas, Casino) dark comedies (The King of Comedy, After Hours), thrillers (Cape Fear, Shutter Island), and even a musical once (New York, New York). Nowadays, however, it seems like all he makes are just safe, predictable, albeit well-made and engaging biopics about morally dubious historical figures (The Wolf of Wall Street, The Irishman, Killers of the Flower Moon).

He's followed the same route Clint Eastwood and Steven Spielberg have taken as they've gotten older, taking fewer risks and chances by focusing their efforts solely on the surefire bet formula that is the biopic, all while somewhat losing the edge and impact their older films had.
