Hulu is developing an adaption of Erik Larson’s “Devil in the White City” that will be executive produced by Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Hulu’s senior vice president of originals, Craig Erwich, made the announcement on Monday at the Television Critics Association press tour. Scorsese and DiCaprio have been working on an adaptation of the novel for the last decade. DiCaprio first bought the rights to develop a film based on the book in 2010. In 2015, he signed on to play serial killer Henry H. Holmes (better known as H.H. Holmes), with Scorsese on board to direct.
Hulu did not give any more details as to whether DiCaprio would still star in the project, or if he would just serve as an executive producer.
