Sixth time's the charm for Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese.

The award-winning duo are teaming up once again for another film, this time an adaptation of The Devil in the White City. The non-fiction book by Erik Larson tells the story of Dr. H.H. Holmes, a serial killer in Chicago in the late 1800s. He killed anywhere from 27 to 200 people, then sold their skeletons for scientific study.

DiCaprio will play Holmes in the upcoming flick, Deadline reports. Let the Oscar rumbling begin.

The filmmaking duo last worked together on the 2013 drama The Wolf of Wall Street. DiCaprio was nominated for an Oscar for his rowdy performance as a drug-loving stockbroker who gets caught up in a life of white-collar crime.

Maybe, just maybe White City will be the role that lands Leo the Oscar he so dearly covets.
