Leonardo DiCaprio is set to play a Hollywood private eye in Michael Mann's latest project.
DiCaprio will take the lead role in the untitled $120 million film, a noir drama touted as the next 'L.A. Confidential', helmed by the 'Collateral' director.
The movie will be set in a MGM studio in 30s Hollywood, and DiCaprio will play a private detective who cleans up celebrity scandals and keeps the studio's star performers out of the headlines.
The plot will see 'The Departed' star working to discover whether a young movie starlet murdered her husband, and will feature portrayals of iconic figures from the era such as the late Judy Garland.
The script was delivered to studios last week, and New Line are already reported to have offered $100m for the right to release the film, with other big studios lining up to outbid them.
DiCaprio is set to produce the movie alongside Mann and script writer John Logan, both of whom worked on Martin Scorsese's 'The Aviator'.
The film is currently scheduled to begin shooting in February.
