Bradley Cooper In Talks to Replace Leonardo DiCaprio in 'Nightmare Alley' Remake

Bradley Cooper could be headed to Nightmare Alley!

The 44-year-old actor is reportedly in early talks to replace pal Leonardo DiCaprio in the Guillermo Del Toro-directed remake.

According to THR, Bradley has the offer to play the male lead which Leonardo previously did not close the deal on.

The flick will be based on the William Lindsay Gresham novel of the same name, more so than the film made in 1947.

The book follows the sleazy inhabitants of show business, documenting the rise and fall of a con man in a second rate carnival.

Nightmare Alley is set to begin production this fall.
