Leonardo DiCaprio is reteaming with Martin Scorsese for a devilish new movie.

DiCaprio, who has made five films to date with the director, will portray serial killer Dr H H Holmes in Scorsese's adaptation of Erik Larson's 2003 book The Devil in the White City : Murder, Magic And Madness At The Fair That Changed America.

Dr Holmes claimed to have killed 27 people in the late 1800s, although later estimates suggested his death toll was closer to 200. Holmes constructed The World's Fair Hotel, an inn more lethal than the Bates Motel, especially for young single women.

DiCaprio and Scorsese last worked together on The Wolf of Wall Street. Previously, they've collaborated on The Departed, Shutter Island, The Aviator and Gangs of New York.
