Saw the film last night! I thought it was emotional, cathartic and wonderful. The pacing was genius (don’t know how PTA managed to successfully spin so many plates/ stitch together so many different tones so seamlessly. It felt lived in and timeless and yet completely new and original at the same time. The 2nd act was incredible. The time flew by too. The score is such a great accomplishment! An instant classic that I think will grow into being known as a masterwork (too early to say now) The performances were special and fun. Leo always expertly wielding pathos. Chase is a star. Ill try and see it in the cinema at least one more. This could easily end up in my top 5 (possibly top 3) Leo films

I don’t think Warner Brothers had a clue how to market it or who to market it to so its promotion has come across as confused. Also the trailers didn’t hit and put some people off (a lot of people decide what they’re seeing based on a trailer). Finally I think the recent news events in the US have a lot of people feeling overwhelmed/ avoidant of any kind of political narrative (especially those the film appears to be against). I think it will open to 29 million (domestic) 60 million world wide but I’m hoping it has legs (Leo’s movies tend to hold well throughout the month. Hopefully word of mouth can sustain the numbers. I will say it’s a shame BO has to be such a huge part of the conversation these days. We should be celebrating the fact this got made. I think it will have an interesting film life and do well for years to come.

What amazing reviews! Now all this film needs is box office to match. I hear it will be shown in China from October which is interesting. Leo looks great too!

UK Premier this week and then full review embargo lifts Wednesday. I’ve already booked my ticket for opening night. I did think about travelling across to London (about 2 hours from me to see it in Vista Vision). I guess if it’s amazing I can see it a second time. Will everyone here be seeing it opening week?

Did everyone read the interview? I enjoyed it. One thing that struck me that I found particularity interesting is when he refers to his sister. He could be using it figuratively but it’s possible he’s referring to his niece. If his dad/ step mom adopted her then I guess technically she’d be both his sister and niece. DiCaprio: I remember with my little sister and her friends, they asked, “What was it like?” I lived in the days where there was an answering machine, and when you had plans, you either needed to be there on time, or you’d call on a pay phone to check your answering machine to see if they left a message, to see if they were going to be late. And then you’d have to call their answering machine so they could check their answering machine. They were like, “You guys must have never had plans—how did you ever communicate?” There was a lot of waiting around; you had to stick to your word.

Exert from a Billie Zane article: Another movie I always loved is Only You (1994). You played the fake Damon Bradley. Everyone knows your cameo in Zoolander, but even back then you were taking the piss out of your pretty boy, suave persona. Absolutely. Self-deprecation and a well-timed prat fall, that’s the thing. I love Chaplin and Peter Sellers, the economy of a physical gag. I can’t help but infuse that in my work, or at least a glimmer of it. You’ll see it in Titaniceven. If you watch Cal in terms of his reactions to information as it comes in, he doesn’t really care. He knows he’s getting off the boat. It’s that confidence of like, sinking-schminking. The arrogance is hysterical. It feeds the narrative and the hubris of the age he carries, but there’s such an absurdity that it would make [James] Cameron and I giggle. He’d yell “Cut!” and we’d laugh our asses off because the character was such a tool. Speaking of Titanic (1997), there’s a famous New York Magazine article titled Leo, Prince of the City, written by Nancy Jo Sales and published back in 1998, right after Titanic blew up and Leonardo DiCaprio became the biggest star on the planet. Do you remember experiencing that phenomenon of Leo? You were like 10 years older than him. Were you concerned for him or excited? Oh, excited. He was a lovely guy, still is. We were pals, but there was also a mutual appreciation for each other’s work. We’d see each other socially before Titanic, so when we both got the gig, it was like, “Oh, this is gonna be a hoot.” But watching that unfold… I remember when we were filming Titanic, we drove breakneck to the Chinese Theatre one night for the premiere of Romeo + Juliet (1996) and then drove back in the early hours to be on set again. And it was nice seeing him blowing up in real time, even before Titanic. Romeo + Juliet was really the start of it. We were like, “Oh, so it begins. Just wait till they see you running around with your little suspenders!” Were you partying with him at that time? I mean, yeah, I was living in New York in the late ’90s and we were like neighbours. I lived next door to The Mercer and I knew his crew, they were all young actors. But I was not part of... the pack. The “Pussy Posse”. “Welcome elder statesman…” Like the old man who’d roll in with sage advice for the young bucks having their day. No. But it was fun to watch. He did just fine. That kid didn’t need much help.
