Casting for the Rat Pack

In the ’90s, rumors persisted that Martin Scorsese came close to adapting Nick Tosches’ brilliant biography of Dean Martin with an all-star cast headed by Tom Hanks and John Travolta. Lucky for us all, Cinematical is reporting that the greatest living American director may be rekindling a Rat Pack project.
Now the fun part - playing casting agent! How about Leonardo DiCaprio as the Chairman of the Board, Ryan Gosling as Dino, and Edward Norton as Jerry Lewis? Chiwetel Ejiofer would be a perfect Sammy Davis Jr. And Kate Beckinsale could play Ava Gardner for the second time in a Scorsese movie.
