if Leo gets added to the cast in anyway my head might explode, it would just be too much

i agree.. i hate to be a Debbie Downer, but ensemble casts (especially ones as big as this) usually dont turn out good..
hopefully Marty works his magic and proves me wrong.

Hopefully Leo does the Sinatra biopic that Scorsese's directing. Even though he doesnt look like Sinatra at all, i have no doubt it would be great.
James Franco would do interesting too but i doubt he's even in the running.

You could have said the same thing about The Departed. Except it had two stars in DiCaprio and Damon... Nicholson who didn't star in anything big in awhile, Wahlberg, Martin Sheen didn't star in anything big other than TV on The West Wing in years, Baldwin who wasn't doing anything big or important for some time either.
It's not as if Pacino, Deniro, and the rest have been churning out gangster movies every single year, maybe they haven't found anything good they want to work on, maybe they want to spend time with family or are "retired" like Pesci, or have other pursuits like DeNiro, or they're just taking easy paydays with safe movies.
Understandably with these names attached people are excited and rightfully skeptical, but let's not insult SCORSESE here. No one should be doubting his talents, track record, or ability to make a film and cast work.

Two things in life are certain...death and Martin Scorsese making good movies. Even his bad movies (Shutter Island, Gangs of New York) are still great by most directors standards. His good movies (Goodfelllas, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver) are iconic and timeless.

THIS!! I fully expect this movie to suck. However, I'll probably still watch it on a rainy Tuesday night.
