Cameron Diaz has committed to join Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese's $90 million-budgeted drama "Gangs of New York" after flirting with the project during the past month. Lensing is slated to get under way in Rome in August. The long-in-the-works "Gangs" is set during the era of Tammany Hall's peak of political corruption in the 1840s and traces the history of Irish crime gangs in New York. DiCaprio, who committed to the project in February 1999, stars as gangster Amsterdam Vallon, a man who organized street gangs in an effort to control the city's street wars between the Italian and Irish immigrants. Diaz will play the role of a master thief who teams up with and falls in love with Vallon.
