After 15 years of aborted attempts to make a movie about America's first prolific serial killer, it appears Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio are finally moving forward with an adaptation of Erik Larson's book The Devil in the White City.

First published in 2004, “The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic and Madness at the Fair That Changed America” tells the story of the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, following ambitious architect Daniel H. Burnham and the murders of serial killer Dr. H. H. Holmes that took place during the event.

Leonardo DiCaprio's real-life serial killer movie is back on track, more than ten years after it was first announced.
