A cool video to celebrate Leonardo's birthday:

Thanks to youtube we can watch more of Leo on Santa barbara:

Leo is included in this event before the Oscars. So it seems that he will be at the Oscars as presenter:

The Devil in the White City will be Martin Scorsese’s next film with Leonardo DiCaprio With passion project Silence out the way, Martin Scorsese is starting to think about his next project with Leonardo DiCaprio. There’s been talk of the pair, who last worked together on The Wolf of Wall Street, cooking up an adaptation of Erik Larson’s book, The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America, for over a year now, and it seems the wheels are finally in motion. “Right now, there is a script being worked on,” he told Sun Media. DiCaprio purchased the film rights to the book in 2010, which presents non-fiction events in a novelistic style.“One of the things that I had to stop for the past six months [to complete Silence] was my meetings on that script. They want me to start again in January and see if we can find a way because it’s an extraordinary story.” http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/the-devil-in-the-white-city-film-martin-scorsese-leonardo-dicaprio-hh-holmes-serial-killer-movie-a7486186.html

Martin Scorsese talks 'Silence', working with De Niro again, what's next with Leo and why his Sinatra biopic is DOA (...) Scorsese’s future projects also have to count deeply. He cites the example of his next collaboration with actor Leonardo DiCaprio, a creepy thriller called The Devil in the White City. Still in the development stages, it will be based on the novel by Erik Larson, who based his tale on the chilling true-life story of a Chicago serial killer operating at the time of the 1893 World’s Fair. Speaking of DiCaprio, but illustrating his resolve in general, Scorsese told Sun Media in a Canadian-exclusive one-on-one interview: “If we can find material that we can both agree upon, and it’s a worthwhile experience, then we will do it.” To punctuate the thought, Scorsese adds expansively: “Especially now that the ‘while’ is getting smaller and smaller as I get older. Or shorter and short, I should say. Nobody younger understands that when you say: ‘I don’t want to spend two years of my life doing ‘this’ (if his heart is not in it).’ They don’t get it … and I didn’t get it either until I got to this point.” So Scorsese will film The Devil in the White City with DiCaprio after he shoots The Irishman with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino. That is another passion project, not least because he will be collaborating again with De Niro, a close friend since Taxi Driver 40 years ago. Meanwhile, Scorsese is developing a biopic of George Washington called The General, with DiCaprio slated to play Washington when he leads the Americans in the War of Independence against the British. “I am fascinated by that. I don’t know, but you could spend the rest of your life doing something like that!” (....) Martin Scorsese’s latest collaboration with producer-actor Leonardo DiCaprio is not ready to shoot yet but they will soon be making progress soon, Scorsese told Sun Media. “Right now, there is a script being worked on,” Scorsese said of an adaptation of Erik Larson’s book, The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America. Larson’s tale, based on a true story, entwines the stories of a notorious serial killer and the architect who designed the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago. “One of the things that I had to stop for the past six months,” Scorsese said about his final push to complete his new spiritual drama Silence, “was my meetings on that script. They want me to start again in January and see if we can find a way because it’s an extraordinary story.” DiCaprio purchased the film rights in 2010. Scorsese said he looks forward to working again with DiCaprio, as they have on past films such as Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed, Shutter Island and The Wolf of Wall Street. They share a vision on film and on life, he explained. “We’ve become very close and we really love hanging out together.” Martin Scorsese’s planned biopic of Frank Sinatra (again, with DiCaprio) is now dead-and-buried, the filmmaker revealed to Sun Media. “We can’t do it!” Scorsese said, with a tinge of sadness, in an interview for his new film Silence. “I think it is finally over. They (remaining members of the Sinatra clan) won’t agree to it. Open it up again and I’m there!” But the darker, more complicated sides of Frank Sinatra’s life as a singer and actor have stopped the project in its tracks, Scorsese explained of the script development stage. Phil Alden Robinson (Field of Dreams) had been writing the screenplay “Certain things are very difficult for a family, and I totally understand. But, if they expect me to be doing it, they can’t hold back certain things. The problem is that the man was so complex. Everybody is so complex — but Sinatra in particular.” http://jam.canoe.com/Movies/2016/12/15/22690423.html

Is this short clip that you are looking for? Leo Will Smith.mov

Leo is on the cover of South-American GQ, but there is only one page about him. The title on the cover is "Leonardo DiCaprio and the new generation of cinema stars". Inside the magazine he's named The Unbeatable.

I can't believe that Leo is on the cover of French Vanity Fair because of the Malaysian subjet. The title says more or less: "Leonardo DiCaprio face a scandal that threatens his career". It's exaggerated. I'm a little tired of always the same. Anyway I found the article, so I'm going to share it here:

I saw these two "for your consideration" advertisements in the Variety magazine. Maybe we could see Leo be part of this next film awards season...

The Romeo + Juliet Choir Boy Got to Share Popcorn With Leonardo DiCaprio: http://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/movies/a8059375/quindon-tarver-romeo-and-juliet-interview/ Did you get to hang out with him at all on set? I did. He is so cool. He was one of the coolest, down-to-earth people that I think I’ve ever met. I’ve never experienced meeting someone like that, [who could] just be so cool and down-to-earth and welcoming. He invited me into his dressing room, and then we went into his hotel room where we stayed. We shared caramel popcorn. I think that was the coolest thing, sharing popcorn with this movie star. And then we wrestled! I always share that story with people. They’re like, “Well, did you meet him, how is he?” I was like, “Yeah, not only did I meet him, but we shared caramel popcorn in the same bowl and then we even wrestled.” 20 Things That Happened at the Romeo + Juliet Premiere in 1996 http://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/movies/a8036104/leonardo-dicaprio-romeo-juliet-premiere-1996-photos/

I'm also thrilled to watch this new Leo's documentary that comes out this Friday 4th on Netflix. It has had good reviews! http://us.blastingnews.com/showbiz-tv/2016/11/the-ivory-game-netflix-hottest-documentary-thriller-soon-to-hit-your-screen-001223743.html "The #Ivory Game" is a thriller documentary from #Netflix that will have you on the edge of your seat. This is no boring old story of the poaching of Africa's elephants. It tracks through the African wilderness with stunning videography that one has come to expect from a Leonardo DiCaprio movie. Leonardo as Executive Producer manages to capture the thrill of the hunt, the spies, the kingpins, the wildlife warriors and the one person who holds the future of the species in his hands.
