Martin Scorsese's next project will be a film of Mark Helprin's "Winter's
Tale."  Although this is a departure from the gritty films for which
Scorsese is known, like the others it is set in New York.  The script
will be by the screenwriter of "Cocoon."  It will be interesting to see
how this comes out, since although the book contains much vivid
imagery, I consider it virtually unfilmable without losing much of the
texture.  Scorsese is probably a good choice since he probably knows and
loves the city better than any director, except possibly Sidney Lumet.

No word on casting, but I would recommend William Hurt in the role of
Peter Lake.
