The film, to be directed by filmmaker Ridley Scott, will be shot after DiCaprio finishes work on the film Revolutionary Road with actress Kate Winslet.
In Body of Lies, DiCaprio will play a former journalist who has become a CIA agent. He is then sent to Amman to work with Jordan’s intelligence chief to track an Al Qaeda leader who is planning an attack on the United States.
According to Variety, Scott is currently in Morocco looking for locations to shoot the film. Body of Lies will also be filmed in Washington, Europe and the Middle East.
