DiCaprio, Greengrass & Lehane Finally Move Forward On ‘Travis McGee’
2 hours ago | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
A big-screen adaptation of the first John D. MacDonald’s series of novels to feature the character Travis McGee has been in the works for quite some time now. Leonardo DiCaprio has been set to star in (and produce) 20th Century Fox’s simply-titled Travis McGee since 2009 but the project is finally moving forward with The Bourne Ultimatum and United 93′s Paul Greengrass directing. Acclaimed author and screenwriter Dennis Lehane will adapt the screenplay based on the 1964 novel ‘The Deep Blue Good-by’.
If successful, there are plenty of other stories for inspiration with MacDonald having a further twenty novels to feature the character officially described as: a beach bum who won his houseboat in a card game. He’s also a knight errant who’s wary of credit cards, retirement benefits, political parties, mortgages, and television. He only works when his cash runs out and his rule is simple: »

Leonardo DiCaprio Hires Dennis Lehane For Travis McGee
14 hours ago | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Figuring that an injection of new writing talent might help the project work itself free of development hell, 20th Century Fox has turned to Dennis Lehane, someone with just a little bit of crime writing experience for Travis McGee, which Leonardo DiCaprio is interested in.The planned film, based on John D. McDonald’s book Deep Blue Good-By, features the McGee character, a Floridian sleuth who moonlights as a treasure hunter. He’s featured in 21 novels, and Fox rightly figures that they could be franchise material if the first – simply being called Travis McGee at this point, in a Jack Reacher-style – works.Trouble is, it’s been lingering on the slow burn development stove for years now, with Robert Schwentke, Oliver Stone and Paul Greengrass considering directing and Mark Boal and David James Kelly among those having taken a whack at the script.So now Lehane – whose novels have »

Win Passes To The Advance Screening Of Now You See Me In St. Louis
20 May 2013 5:48 PM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
Four talented magicians mesmerize an international audience with a series of bold and original heists, all the while pursuing a hidden agenda that has the FBI and Interpol scrambling to anticipate their next move in Now You See Me, a visually spectacular blend of astonishing illusions and exhilarating action from director Louis Leterrier (Clash of the Titans).
The Four Horsemen, a magic super‐group led by the charismatic J.Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), perform a pair of hightech, high‐profile magic shows, first amazing audiences by remotely robbing a Paris bank while in Las Vegas, and then exposing a white‐collar criminal and funneling his millions into the audience members’ bank accounts, baffling the authorities with their intricately planned capers.
FBI Special Agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo) is determined to make the magicians pay for their crimes—and to stop them before they pull off what promises to be an even more audacious heist. »

'Into Darkness' Boldly Goes Where 2009's 'Trek' Went Before
19 May 2013 5:37 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
Star Trek Into Darkness easily opened on top this weekend, though it wasn't the kind of box office sensation that many*including distributor Paramount*were expecting it to be. The J.J. Abrams-directed sequel took in an estimated $70.6 million for the three-day frame; add in its grosses from Wednesday night and all-day Thursday, and the movie has to-date earned $84.1 million. In comparison, 2009's Star Trek grossed $75.2 million for the weekend, and $86.7 million through its first four-and-a-half days.While it's usually unfair to knock a movie for opening in line with its predecessor, it certainly feels like the "disappointment" label is applicable in this case. All signs suggest the 2009 Trek is very well-liked (it has a strong 8.0 rating on IMDb) and Paramount's marketing did a decent job walking the sequel tightrope (a balanced approach of promising more-of-the-same and offering something new). Additionally, there was four years of ticket price inflation and »

66th Cannes Film Festival Review - Jimmy P. (2013)
19 May 2013 3:13 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Jimmy P., 2013.
Directed by Arnaud Desplechin.
Starring Benicio Del Toro, Mathieu Amalric, Gina McKee, Larry Pine and Joseph Cross.
Synopsis:
A Native American WWII veteran suffering from an inexplicable illness is admitted to a military hospital, where he comes under the care of a French anthropologist, psychoanalyst and specialist in Native American culture.
Arnaud Desplechin's film states that it is based on a true story, taken from Georges Devereux's anthropological study of his patient Jimmy P. The film opens on a ranch in the wild Montana plains in 1948. We first see Jimmy (Benicio Del Toro) lying asleep on the sofa, his sister shaking him out off an almost deathlike slumber. As he goes about his work on the ranch, it is clear that Jimmy is suffering from either physical or psychological trauma sustained during the war. These symptoms include temporary blindness, flashing lights and total physical incapacity. What exactly »

Leonardo DiCaprio: 'The Great Gatsby' star's 5 best movie roles
17 May 2013 1:00 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
While the critical response to Baz Luhrmann's lavish take on The Great Gatsby has been lukewarm, reviews have by and large praised Leonardo DiCaprio's central turn as the mysterious, tragic Jay Gatsby.
Digital Spy looks back on five of DiCaprio's most iconic performances.
What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993)
At the tender age of 19, DiCaprio earned his first Oscar nomination for Lasse Hallström's touching family drama. Playing the mentally retarded younger brother of Johnny Depp's put-upon Gilbert Grape, DiCaprio was deservedly singled out for praise by almost every critic despite being a virtual unknown. It's an intensely likeable and physically specific performance that elevates an otherwise predictable story.
The Basketball Diaries (1995)
Adapted from Jim Carroll's autobiographical novel, Scott Kalvert's drama tracked a high school basketball star's descent into drug addiction. The film debuted to decidedly mixed reviews, but again DiCaprio came out largely unscathed, with Rolling »

15 May 2013 12:14 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

He has also completed the thriller Felony with Jai Courtney and Melissa George, and is currently filming Jane Got a Gun with Natalie Portman and Ewan McGregor. »

Gatsby Opening Weekend B.O.: Ahead or Behind Titanic?
13 May 2013 7:02 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Leonardo DiCaprio The Great Gatsby movie box office: DiCaprio’s second biggest opening ever — but trailing Titanic in ticket sales The Great Gatsby movie adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel earned $50.08m at the North American box office this past weekend, including $3.25 million from late Thursday night showings, according to weekend box-office actuals found at Box Office Mojo. Despite mostly poor reviews — The Great Gatsby has a 32% approval rating and 5.6/10 average among Rotten Tomatoes‘ top critics — the Baz Luhrmann-directed take on the love story between Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jay Gatsby and Carey Mulligan’s Daisy Buchanan far surpassed the expectations of both distributor Warner Bros. and box-office pundits. In fact, The Great Gatsby trailed only Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man 3, which collected $72.52 million at the domestic box office this past weekend. (Photo: Leonardo DiCaprio in The Great Gatsby.) Partly thanks to 3D surcharges and a strong female contingent of ticket-buyers, »

Gatsby to Become DiCaprio's Second Biggest Debut Weekend Ever?
11 May 2013 8:51 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Leonardo DiCaprio The Great Gatsby movie weekend box office: DiCaprio’s second biggest opening ever? (Photo: Leonardo DiCaprio in The Great Gatsby, with Carey Mulligan) Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Jay Gatsby in Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby movie adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic 1920s novel. A risky move? Well, if so, it has clearly paid off. Although The Great Gatsby will not top the North American box office this weekend, it’ll land in a remarkably (and surprisingly) strong second slot. (Photo: Leonardo DiCaprio in The Great Gatsby movie adaptation, with Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan.) Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man 3 will easily lead the domestic box-office charge with approximately $65-70m, after plummeting 71% on Friday, compared to the previous week. True, opening-day Friday also included the box-office take from Thursday late night showings, but, for comparison’s sake, The Avengers was down 64% during that same time frame. »

How Leo Met Tobey
10 May 2013 10:26 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
New York — Tobey Maguire didn't have to go far when Leonardo DiCaprio called him about meeting to discuss an adaptation of "The Great Gatsby" with Baz Luhrmann.
"I happened to live next door to Leo at the time, so it wasn't a far journey," Maguire says. "I was like, `Oh, yeah. Sure. I can be over in 30 seconds if that's good for you.'"
"The Great Gatsby" is the first film of note co-starring the two longtime pals. It's fitting, too, because they play the classic tandem of the desperate romantic Jay Gatsby (DiCaprio) and his lone friend, the narrator Nick Carraway (Maguire) – who, not unlike Maguire, lives adjacent to Gatsby.
Working together on a film is a long time coming for DiCaprio and Maguire. In a recent joint interview at the Plaza Hotel in New York, the two cheerfully reflected on their close friendship, flashing occasional glimpses of the »

Box office preview: Will 'Gatsby' have a great opening?
9 May 2013 5:59 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Almost a full year after the first trailer for Baz Luhrmann’s 3-D adaptation of The Great Gatsby debuted, the much-buzzed-about (and long-delayed) F. Scott Fitzgerald tale is finally coming to the big screen. Gatsby will Charleston its way into theaters on Friday alongside Tyler Perry’s latest comedy, Peeples. Neither of the newcomers has a legitimate shot at taking out Iron Man 3, which will soar in its second weekend, but that doesn’t mean they won’t make an impact at the box office. To the contrary, Gatsby’s prospects look surprisingly strong.

Andrew Garfield to star in Scorsese's Silence
8 May 2013 12:10 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Andrew Garfield (The Amazing Spider-Man) is set to star in Martin Scorsese's (Hugo, Shutter Island) next project, Silence. The director's long-gestating adaptation of Japanese author Shusaku Endo's novel has secured financing and a production greenlight for June 2014.
Garfield will play Father Rodrigues, a 17th-century Portuguese Jesuit who travels to Japan with a fellow priest amid rumors that his mentor has abandoned the Church. It is a time of religious persecution in the Asian nation, with Christians forced to practice their faith in secret. Ken Watanabe (Inception) will star as the priests' interpreter, alongside a Japanese cast.
Location scouting is currently underway for the film, which is being co-financed by Emmett/Furla Films and Corsan Films. Silence is due to start shooting next summer.
Garfield is currently filming The Amazing Spider-Man 2 alongside Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Chris Cooper, and Paul Giamatti. »
