Catch
Me If You Can:
Leonardo DiCaprio is in final negotiations to star
in DreamWorks' "Catch Me if You Can,'' a con
man tale that will likely begin production by mid-March
2001. The picture will tell "the incredible,
but true, tale of Frank Abagnale Jr., who impersonated
so many people and kited so many checks between 1964
and 1966 that he won the dubious distinction of being
the only teenager ever placed on the FBI's 10 most
wanted list. The charming rogue passed himself off
as a Pan Am co-pilot, and flew more than 2 million
miles without paying a cent. But then, Abaganale often
had good reason to make a speedy getaway: during that
same time he also pretended to be the chief resident
pediatrician at a Georgia hospital, Louisiana's assistant
attorney general and a professor of American history
at a French university. By the time he was apprehended,
Abagnale had written $6 million in bad checks in all
50 states and in 26 foreign countries -- all before
his 18th birthday." DiCaprio begins work on this
picture after shooting "Gangs of New York"
for Martin Scorsese. Thanks to Reuters.
