Leonardo DiCaprio and Steven Spielberg to teamup once more

New Delhi, May 19: Actor Leonardo DiCaprio and filmmaker Steven Spielberg who worked together on 2002's 'Catch Me If You Can' are planning to work together again for a Ulysses S Grant biopic.

Lionstate and DiCaprio's Appian Way shingle last November acquired movie rights to Grant, the bestselling Ron Chernow biography that is being adapted by David James Kelly.

Grant has been widely recognised as a superior military tactician for leading the Union Army to victory over the Confederacy during the Civil War under the supervision of President Abraham Lincoln, winning key battles at Shiloh and Vicksburg. He won two terms as President as a successor to Andrew Johnson and stabilised the economy along with attempting to remove the last vestiges of slavery, which included working to crush the Ku Klux Klan. David James Kelly is adapting the biography.
