When Martin Scorsese was a child growing up in New York's Little Italy, he would gaze up at the figures he saw around St. Patrick's Old Cathedral. For decades, Scorsese has pondered a project dedicated to the saints.

Martin Scorsese may have put some previously announced projects like "The Wager" and his long-rumored Frank Sinatra biopic on the back burner, but the prolific auteur has teased another adaptation in the works: bringing Marilynne Robinson's novel "Home" to the screen.

Martin Scorsese might make a film adaptation of Marilynne Robinson's Home before doing his The Life of Jesus movie. Following the release of 2023's Killers of the Flower Moon, Scorsese has announced a handful of new projects he either intends or hopes to make.
