Leonardo DiCaprio to Make Movie About JFK Assassination

(CANVAS STAFF REPORTS) - Leonardo DiCaprio will star in and produce "Legacy of Secrecy," a new movie based on the John F. Kennedy assassination, according to Variety .
The website reported that DiCaprio and his father George, who brought the book "Legacy of Secrecy" to his attention, will produce the movie adaptation of the book through his Warner Bros.-based Appian Way.
He will play FBI informant Jack Van Laningham, who allegedly was an FBI informant who infiltrated Mafia godfather Carlos Marcello's inner circle. The book claims that Marcello confessed to Van Laningham that he ordered Kennedy's assassination.
Kennedy was shot in 1963 while riding in a motorcade through Dallas with his wife Jackie. The Toronto Sun said the movie may be released in 2013 to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the assassination.
Variety said the book includes information from declassified FBI files from the National Archives. It also includes information from FBI and Secret Service files that show more than a dozen of the crime boss's associates and family members were questioned or arrested by authorities in connection with the murder.
Variety said this will be the first time that Marcello was the subject of a feature film. While he was not included in the 1964 Warren Report, a 1979 House Select Committee on Assassinations said he and mobster Santo Trafficante "had the motive, means and opportunity" to commit the act.
The book was written by Lamar Waldron and Thom Hartmann. Waldron will retain documentary film and TV rights to the book, which also connects the Mafia with Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination and Watergate.
DiCaprio, who last starred in "Inception," is preparing to play the late FBI director J. Edgar Hoover in a biography directed by Clint Eastwood, Movies Online reported.
