Leonardo DiCaprio will play Billy Milligan in The Crowded Room movie.
This film adaptation will be based on Daniel Keyes’ 1981 nonfiction title, The Minds of Billy Milligan. Milligan gained notoriety for being the first person to gain an acquittal by using multiple personality disorder as a defense.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, “DiCaprio has been interested in playing him stretching back to 1997.” In addition to his acting role, The Wolf of Wall Street star (pictured, via) will also serve as a producer. Jason Smilovic and Todd Katzberg have come on board as the screenwriters. (via The Huffington Post)
