Actor will star in biopic of Billy Milligan, a schizophrenic who successfully defended robbery and rape charges by arguing that the crimes were the work of two of his 24 personalities

I take my first look at the new movie The crowded Room staring Leonardo DiCaprio (release 2016?)

The true story of Billy Milligan, who developed twenty-four different personalities during his horrific childhood, and who would go on to commit several robberies and rapes.

Philip, a petty criminal; Kevin, who dealt drugs and masterminded a drugstore robbery; April whose only ambition was to kill Billy's stepfather; Adalana, the shy, lonely, affection-starved lesbian who used Billy's body in the rapes that led to his arrest; David, the eight-year-old keeper of pain; Arthur, the Englishman; Ragen, the keeper of Rage who possessed incredible strength; Allen, the con man; Tommy, the escape-artist, and all of the others, including men, women, several children, both boys and girls, and the Teacher, the only one who can put them all together.

DiCaprio will star in the movie, with Jason Smilovic and Todd Katzberg coming aboard to adapt the nonfiction book about Billy Milligan, who had 24 personalities.
