A couple of days ago we reported on the news that Leonardo DiCaprio would have the lead role in the film “Devil In The White City”

Leonardo DiCaprio “will play Dr. HH Holmes, America’s first serial killer, in the big screen adaptation of Erik Larson’s 2003 non-fiction book ‘The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic and Madness at the Fair That Changed America.’“

Michael Shamberg, a Chicago native is currently producing the film “Contagion” filming in Chicago.

In an article about “Devil in the white city” in the Chicago Sun Times, Shamberg stated “It’s a cool Chicago story, and I’m excited about it being filmed in my hometown.”

“The plan is to start filming as soon as possible,” he said. “The story happened 117 years ago; we’ll have to re-create a lot of the Midway, but there are still three buildings built by architects Burnham and Root still in existence.”
