"MARTIN Scorsese is facing the challenge of his career casting an actor to play a young Frank Sinatra in his big-budget biopic about the Chairman of the Board.
But insiders tell us his short list for "Sinatra" is sure to
include three-time Oscar nominee Johnny Depp 
and cocky newcomer James Franco, who both have the swagger -- and cheekbones -- to pull off a reasonable Ol' Blue Eyes. "One issue for Johnny is his age. He's 45. But he's youthful enough to play nearly anybody," a source said.
Other names we're hearing include Jake Gyllenhaal,
Justin Timberlake, 
Mark Wahlberg, Michael Bublé and Jon Hamm.
And while there's been chatter about Leonardo DiCaprio, who starred in the director's "The Departed" and "The Aviator", a source says it's unlikely, simply because Di- Caprio looks nothing like Sinatra".Source: www.nypost.com
