Mark Twain once quipped, “Age is a case of mind over matter. If you don’t mind it, it doesn’t matter.”

After landing 10 Oscar nominations for last year’s historical epic “Killers of the Flower Moon,” the 81-year-old director has chosen his next several projects.

Scorsese plans to shoot two films back to back: the first about Jesus, the second a Frank Sinatra biopic.  

The Oscar-winning director who helped usher in the Hollywood New Wave of the 1970s is looking to bypass the studio system and independently finance “Life of Jesus,” based on Shūsaku Endō’s 1973 book. He took the same approach with the 2016 drama Silence, which also was adapted from an Endō novel.

Scorsese would like to reunite with Silence star Andrew Garfield for the Jesus project, though it’s unclear if the actor is being eyed for the titular role or to play one of the disciples.

Miles Teller has also been eyed for the picture.

Production is expected to begin later this year and shoot in Israel, Italy and Egypt. But shooting in Israel could prove to be a logistical challenge given the country’s war with Hamas in Gaza.

With two big movie stars as leads, the film is drawing interest from major studios and streamers. Apple, which financed the $215 million “Flower Moon,” is a possibility, but Sony is said to be the frontrunner to get the project.
