DiCaprio, Scorsese to team again

Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese are teaming with Hulu for a series adaptation of Erik Larson’s book “The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic and Madness at the Fair That Changed America.”

Craig Erwich, senior vice president of originals at the streaming network, announced the news Monday at the Television Critics Assn. press tour.

Paramount Television will produce “The Devil in the White City,” but further details were scant; there is no word yet on who will write the adaptation, whether DiCaprio will star or Scorsese will direct.

Written in a vivid, novelistic style, Larson’s 2003 nonfiction bestseller told the story of two men who made their mark during the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair: Daniel Burnham, the event’s architect, and H.H. Holmes, a serial killer who lured many of his victims from the fair.
