Leonardo DiCaprio is set to star in a new film called The Devil in the White City, which is based on the true story of a Hannibal Lecter type serial killer who walked the streets of Chicago in the 19th century. DiCaprio will play the killer, Dr. Henry Howard Holmes. I've heard of this horrific tale, and it's pretty freakin' insane.
This story is told in a non-fiction book called The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic And Madness At The Fair That Changed America by Erik Larson. This is going to be one hell of a crazy film!
DiCaprio will play Dr. Hh Holmes, a cunning serial killer believed to have murdered anywhere from 27-200 people at a time when the city of Chicago was enthralled with hosting the World's Fair of 1893. Holmes constructed The World's Fair Hotel, an inn more lethal than the Bates Motel, especially for young single women.
