Watch The New Trailer For Adam McKay Comedy Film ‘Don’t Look Up’ Starring Leonardo DiCaprio

  By ,

One of our most anticipated films this year is Adam McKay’s comedy film, Don’t Look Up, which features an impressive ensemble cast.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Jonah Hill, Timothee Chalamet, Meryl Streep and even Kid Cudi make appearances in the film, which follows two scientists trying to alert the world about a dangerous comet coming toward Earth.

The only problem? No one seems to care, especially the President of the United States, played by Meryl Streep. It’s been said that this movie is a humorous take on the climate crisis impacting us all.

Jennifer Lawrence recently revealed she always wanted to work with McKay, and after reading the script, she knew she wanted to be involved.

When I read the script, I thought it was genius. It’s maybe the funniest script I’ve ever read, and I thought it was such a poignant way to get such an important point across, that people don’t need to be fighting each other over science. We need to be fighting this collective war to save humanity together.

Check out the latest trailer below. Don’t Look Up will hit select theaters on December 10, followed by a release on Netflix on Christmas Eve.

Leonardo DiCaprio Reportedly In Final Talks To Star In And Produce ‘Jim Jones’ Movie

  By

Leonardo DiCaprio is about to pop open the cyanide-laced Kool-Aid as he’s in final talks to star in MGM’s upcoming feature about religious cult leader Jim Jones.

The movie, which was written by Scott Rosenberg, has been in the works for a while now, and it looks like it’s finally moving forward at a fairly quick pace. If the deal goes through, DiCaprio would both star and produce the flick.

Known as the leader of the Peoples Temple religious group, Jones was behind the November 1978 mass suicide at his Jonestown settlement that took more than 900 lives. Jones and his inner circle orchestrated the massacre at the jungle commune in Guyana, with the followers directed to drink cyanide-adulterated punch.

DiCaprio is obviously a busy man, so everyone will probably be working around his schedule. It’s possible the movie begins filming next year though.

In the meantime, you can catch Leo in the upcoming Adam McKay film ‘Don’t Look Up’ which is set to be released on December 10, 2021.

Check out the trailer below…

Finally! The First Teaser Trailer For ‘Don’t Look Up’ Has Arrived, Starring Leo And JLaw!

  By ,

The upcoming dark comedy ‘Don’t Look Up‘ from Adam McKay has been on my radar all year long. I’ve been waiting (and waiting!) for the first trailer, and finally it has arrived.

The film, which is set to premiere on Netflix and select theaters in December, stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence and Rob Morgan as a trio of stressed out scientists trying to warn the world and its leaders about an impending asteroid impact, which will end life on Earth as we know it.

The only problem with this? No one seems to care, which is probably a little jab at how our leaders are currently treating the climate change crisis.

In this teaser trailer, Leo’s character appears to have multiple panic attacks. Jonah Hill steals the show in this trailer as the chief of staff. The back-and-forth between him, Leo and Lawrence looks incredibly entertaining.

In addition the main cast listed above, this movie will feature performances by Timothee Chalamet, Ariana Grande, Kid Cudi, Meryl Streep and Ron Perlman.

Check out the trailer below. It’ll hit select theaters on December 10, followed by a release on Netflix on December 24.

Jesse Plemons Taking Over Starring Role In Martin Scorsese’s Western Drama ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’

  By

If you’ve been sleeping on Jesse Plemons, now is the time to wake the freakity freak up. The dude is one of the most talented actors in Hollywood right now. He can do drama, he can do comedy, he can do action…he can do it all!

And now, the best of the best want to work with him. It’s being reported that Jesse Plemons will be joining Martin Scorsese’s big budget Western drama, Killers of the Flower Moon.

The film has reportedly gone through some major changes this past year, which resulted in Paramount selling the project to Apple. Apparently, there were changes to the script that made it less commercial.

According to the report, Plemons will have the lead role in this film, which is big news because the lead role was first going to be Leonardo DiCaprio.

Leo will now play a secondary character, which is apparently what he wanted from the start.

Based on David Grann’s bestseller and set in 1920s Oklahoma, Killers of the Flower Moon depicts the serial murder of members of the oil-wealthy Osage Nation, a string of brutal crimes that came to be known as the Reign of Terror. Plemons will play the lead FBI agent investigating the murders.

Plemons should still be in the mindset of an FBI agent, considering he just played one in the film, Judas and the Black Messiah.

‘Flower Moon’ will begin filming in May.

Leonardo DiCaprio In Talks To Star In Guillermo del Toro’s Upcoming ‘Nightmare Alley’ Remake

  By

If it feels like Leonardo DiCaprio only works with established, insanely talented directors, it’s because he does. He just finished working with Quentin Tarantino. Before that he worked with Alejandro G. Iñárritu, and before Alejandro he worked with Martin Scorsese.

Now he’s in talks to star in Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Nightmare Alley‘ remake. The way Variety talks, it’s basically a done deal at this point. It’s just all legal stuff they have to work out now.

This film will be more based on the William Lindsay Gresham novel of the same name. The 1947 movie starred Tyrone Power as an ambitious young con-man who teams up with a female psychiatrist who is even more corrupt than he is. At first, they enjoy success fleecing people with their mentalist act, but then she turns the tables on him, out-manipulating the manipulator.

The plan is to start shooting this movie in the fall, which means it’ll likely be released in 2020. Del Toro’s last film, The Shape of Water, won the Best Picture award at the 2018 Academy Awards.

We’ll keep you posted as he adds more stars to support Leo’s leading role.

Brad Pitt Joins Leonardo DiCaprio In Quentin Tarantino’s Upcoming Film ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’

  By

We are now learning more about Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming film, including the name. Sony released the details this week, revealing the name Tarantino has chosen is Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.

He also gave the studio a blurb about the movie to send out to the media…

“The story takes place in Los Angeles in 1969, at the height of hippy Hollywood. The two lead characters are Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio), former star of a western TV series, and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt). Both are struggling to make it in a Hollywood they don’t recognize anymore. But Rick has a very famous next-door neighbor…Sharon Tate.”

That’s right, folks. This movie will star both Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt. Two of the biggest names in Hollywood joining one of the most talented directors in Hollywood for what might be his second-to-last film.

We still don’t know who will play the role of Sharon Tate, but it’s rumored that Margot Robbie has been asked to take on the role. That rumor has not been confirmed, though.

Speaking about the movie, Tarantino revealed he’s been working on this script for five years…

“I’ve been working on this script for five years, as well as living in Los Angeles County most of my life, including in 1969, when I was seven years old. I’m very excited to tell this story of an LA and a Hollywood that don’t exist anymore. And I couldn’t be happier about the dynamic teaming of DiCaprio & Pitt as Rick & Cliff.”

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is scheduled to hit theaters August 9, 2019.

Leonardo DiCaprio Will Produce Adaptation Of YA Novel ‘Sandcastle Empire’ For Paramount

  By

leo

According to the internet, Leonardo DiCaprio enjoys only two things in life: women between the ages of 20-25, and promoting his views on climate change.

And thanks to the post-apocalyptic YA novel The Sandcastle Empire, Leo has figured out how to satisfy both needs at the same time. The novel was written by Kayla Olson and is set in 2049 when the Earth “is at a breaking point due to climate change, coastal flooding and overpopulation.”

Paramount Pictures decided to option the novel and Leonardo DiCaprio was more than happy to join the project as a producer. Obviously, some people are going to roll their eyes at this news. The post-apocalyptic films are starting to lose their appeal. We saw it just recently with The 5th Wave struggling at the box office. It wasn’t a terrible film, it’s just people are getting a little bored with the genre.

But this story might be different. The book reportedly targets climate change directly, which might be an interesting new twist on the post-apocalyptic stories. That’s obviously the thing that attracted Leo to this project.

The actor just recently discussed the issue while speaking with reporters backstage at the SAG awards in Los Angeles.

“We shot at high altitudes in Calgary, and weather conditions were unprecedented. The locals had told us they’d never had weather extremes like that since they’ve lived there. And you realize that 2015 was the hottest year in recorded history, December was the hottest, you know, December in recorded history.”

The Great Leonardo DiCaprio Explains Why He Decided To Pass On The Chance To Be In Star Wars Prequels

  By

star

Will Leonardo DiCaprio finally get that Oscar for his performance in The Revenant? No one knows, but you can bet we will bring it up every single time we write a story about him. HE DESERVES ONE!!!

Tell him Mr. Weeknd…

Anyway, an old interview Leo did with ShortList magazine is getting a lot of attention this week. In the interview, the actor admitted he passed on the chance to play young Anakin Skywalker in two of the three Star Wars prequels.

Why would he do such a thing? Because he wasn’t ready.

I did have a meeting with George Lucas about that, yes. [I] just didn’t feel ready to take that dive. At that point.

It seems like Leo wasn’t ready for several huge roles 10-15 years ago. As some of you may remember, he was also up for the role of Peter Parker in 2002’s Spider-Man.

“Er, that was another one of those situations, similar to Robin, where I didn’t feel ready to put on that suit yet. They got in touch with me.”

You have to believe he’s not being completely honest here. He is one of the best actors in the business. Deep down, he probably feels ready for any role out there. Maybe he just felt like these roles weren’t challenging him as an actor.

Why do we believe that? Well, because when he was asked if he would ever play a superhero one day, he gave this interesting response…

“You never know. You never know. They’re getting better and better as far as complex characters in these movies. I haven’t yet. But no, I don’t rule out anything.”

Calm Down, Leonardo DiCaprio Does Not Get Raped By A Bear In ‘The Revenant’

  By

rev

Leonardo DiCaprio really wants that first Oscar, but he doesn’t want it THAT bad. You may have heard this strange report swirling around your social media pages. It was a ridiculous post on The Drudge Report that started it all, claiming poor Leo gets raped twice by a bear in The Revenant.

“The bear flips Leo over and thrusts and thrusts during the explicit mauling. He is raped — twice!”

Sounds brutal, right? I mean, we knew the film had some gruesome scenes, but we didn’t know things were this extreme. After reading the description from that report, it sounds like we should all avoid those Build-A-Bear Workshops at the mall.

But don’t throw away Paddington just yet. 20th Century Fox was quick to smash these false reports. A spokesperson with the studio was forced to send out a release they probably never thought they would need to send…

“As anyone who has seen the movie can attest, the bear in the film is a female who attacks Hugh Glass because she feels he might be threatening her cubs. There is clearly no rape scene with a bear.”

There you have it, folks. Don’t believe those silly rape reports. That being said, the film will still be hard to watch. Leo has already admitted it was his most difficult film ever.

“[I was] enduring freezing cold and possible hypothermia constantly. I certainly don’t eat raw bison liver on a regular basis. When you see the movie, you’ll see my reaction to it, because Alejandro kept it in. It says it all. It was an instinctive reaction.”

The Revenant hits theaters this Christmas. Bring the whole family!
