Leonardo DiCaprio is heading behind the scenes while still maintaining a firm presence in front of the camera.
The three-time Oscar nominee is in talks to star in the post-9-11 spy thriller "Body of Lies," playing a journalist-turned-CIA-agent who travels to Jordan to track an Al Qaeda leader said to be planning an attack on U.S. soil.
Ridley Scott, coming off "A Good Year," which was only so-so, is set to direct the film for Warner Bros., while this year's Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar winner for "The Departed," William Monahan, will pen the script.
This will be the third time Monahan has gone to bat for Scott, having provided the screenplays for 2005's "Kingdom of Heaven" and the yet-to-be-made Barbary Coast battle epic "Tripoli."
Variety reports that Scott is already scouting possible Moroccan locales for "Body of Lies," based on the novel by Washington Post columnist David Ignatius, which will also take place in Washington D.C., Europe and the Middle East.

Martin Scorsese has finally found a winning formula--and it seems he plans on sticking with it.
Fresh off his first-ever Oscar win for directing "The Departed," Scorsese has reteamed with the gritty South Boston flick's Oscar-winning screenwriter William Monahan for the epic rock 'n' roll feature "The Long Play."
The endeavor already reeks of credibility: in addition to Scorsese and Monahan jumping on board, Mick Jagger, a man who knows a thing or two about rock 'n' roll, has also signed on to produce the flick through his Jagged Films production company.
According to Variety, the film will chronicle two friends and span the 40 years they spend in the music business. The film will also highlight the rise and fall of the musical genres that crop up along the way, touching on everything from the salad days of R&B through rock and up until contemporary hip-hop.

"Little Miss Sunshine's" Oscar chances keep looking brighter.
The indie comedy about an oddball family road-tripping to a kiddie beauty pageant came up big at the 2007 Writers Guild Awards Sunday, with the film's mastermind, newcomer Michael Arndt, taking home the prize for Best Original Screenplay.
Veteran scribe William Monahan scored the hardware for Best Adapted Screenplay for his high-octane script for Martin Scorsese's "The Departed," a crime thriller based on the popular Hong Kong film Infernal Affairs.
The honors, doled out annually by the Writers Guild of America, officially confer frontrunner status on both films in their respective categories at this year's Oscars, which are due to be handed out by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences at Hollywood's Kodak Theater on Feb. 25.
