For close to a year now, a number of top celebrities have been mentioned for the possible lead in Martin Scorsese‘s biopic about Frank Sinatra.

Among the names thrown out in the past were Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp and George Clooney.

But now, according to reports everywhere, including one picked up by MTV, Scorsese is “on record as saying that he’d like Al Pacino for the Sinatra role and Robert De Niro for the crooner’s longtime collaborator, Dean Martin.”

There’s just one problem. And it’s not who to cast as Joey Bishop.

Scorsese never said he wanted to cast Pacino and De Niro.

A rep for the director tells Gossip Cop the Pacino-De Niro report is “totally not true.”

Everyone should just relax, and let Scorsese do it his way.
