Leonardo DiCaprio will be taking on the role of more than one person in THE CROWDED ROOM – technically he will be performing as 24 different people…
The American actor’s latest Hollywood challenge is playing the part of an individual with split personalities – 24 to be exact. According to The Hollywood Reporter, DiCaprio’s production company Appian Way and New Regency are coming together to produce it. DiCaprio will produce alongside Jennifer Davisson and Alexandra Milchan.
The movie will reportedly be adapted from the Daniel Keyes‘ nonfiction book “The Minds of Billy Milligan.” Keyes tells the story of Milligan, a man who went on trial in the ’70s for three rapes. He was the first person to successfully use multiple personality disorder as a defense.
DiCaprio and New Regency also teamed up recently on the film THE REVENANT, which is due out next Christmas. That project includes BIRDMAN director Alejandro González Iñárritu and actor Tom Hardy.
