Happy New Year to everyone here!

^I agree. I normally like Bradley in most of his roles but here I don't know. It felt so forced/over the top and the character felt artificial somehow. I did not connect to the characters and the movie was just meh for me. It had some good parts though. Sadly Leo is missing at several critics nominations now. Let's hope he'll be included at the SAG awards and the Oscars. Cool to see Lily included in the new THR roundtable. I have a feeling Leo didn't want to do any of those. I hope in the future (for his next roles) he will do more campaigning.

^ Wow that‘s cool! 😎

Aww these two 🥰

A clip of the new behind the scenes special on the Titanic 4k Blu-Ray. Like always Kate has lovely things to say about Leo.🥰

Lily Gladstone Once Used Her Allowance to Buy VHS of Titanic, Starring Future Costar Leonardo DiCaprio (Exclusive) “I pre-ordered the double VHS set from Toys ‘R’ Us,” recalls Lily Gladstone, who stars opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in 'Killers of the Flower Moon' Twenty-five years before Lily Gladstone shared the screen with Leonardo DiCaprio in Killers of the Flower Moon, she was somewhat of a Titanic fanatic. “I loved that movie,” the star says in the new issue of PEOPLE. “It was one of the first things I spent my allowance on,” continues Gladstone. “I pre-ordered the double VHS set from Toys ‘R’ Us when that was still around.” For the 37-year-old Montana native, the frenzy around the Oscar-winning epic — which hit theaters in 1997 and was released on VHS the following summer — is still fresh in her mind. “I remember the Blockbuster commercial, [with store employees] hearing the crowd of young women approaching,” she says. “[The workers] set the Titanic on the shelf, and then you hear all the young ladies, and they're like, ‘Uh-oh, here they come.’ ” Gladstone, however, wasn’t exactly a part of Leo-mania. “I loved that movie for the film and for Kate Winslet. Leo was great in it because Jack Dawson was great,” Gladstone explains of his stowaway character. “And it's funny, whenever I had crushes in sixth grade — because the year that it came out for me — I would kind of project my crushes into Jack Dawson. It was never on Jack Dawson,” she adds. Titanic wasn’t her introduction to DiCaprio. “I had been a fan of Leo long before that. My first film that I watched him in was, I can't remember which one came first, but it was either What’s Eating Gilbert Grape or This Boy's Life,” she continues. “I loved Romeo + Juliet.” Her favorite, however, was The Man in the Iron Mask. In the 1998 loose adaptation of the classic Alexandre Dumas novel, DiCaprio played both King Louis XIV and his twin brother Phillippe, who lived in exile. “I already knew at that point I wanted to be an actor,” she says, “and getting to see one actor play that kind of duality, it was really cool.” More than two decades later, after auditioning for director Martin Scorsese’s historical drama Killers of the Flower Moon, she landed the role of Mollie, an Indigenous Osage woman whose family was killed for their oil-rich land in 1920s Oklahoma. DiCaprio costars as her duplicitous husband Ernest, who has a hand in their deaths. Gladstone’s nuanced performance as his trusting wife has made her an awards season favorite and generated deafening Oscar buzz. (If she gets a nomination and wins, Gladstone, who has Blackfeet and Nez Perce ancestry, would be the first Native American to claim Best Actress honors.) Just before they began filming Killers in 2021, Gladstone was in Oklahoma on location and re-familiarizing herself with DiCaprio’s and Scorsese’s films. “I was watching The Departed, and it was the scene where Leo's character is on the phone with Matt Damon's character. They call each other. It's like, ‘Whose number is this?’ And it is just this incredible, tense face off where they're both kind of afraid to talk,” she recalls of the 2006 crime drama. “I was just watching the scene, and then I get a text on my phone from some unmarked number saying, ‘Hey, this is Leo. Do you want to come over for dinner?’ I look at it and I'm just like, ‘Is this really him?’ ” continues Gladstone. “So then I text production and be like, ‘Hey, did Leo ask for my number?’ [They respond], ‘Yeah, yeah, that's him.’ ” Gladstone headed to the house where DiCaprio was staying, and his private chef cooked them dinner. Afterward “we hung out by the fire outside, just [talking] about, I don’t know, our childhoods,” says Gladstone. Though costarring with DiCaprio, whose movies she grew up watching, would blow the minds of many, Gladstone always had faith the success she’s now enjoying would one day be possible. “My dad always put it in my head that this would be my path,” says Gladstone. “And when you’re younger, you kind of believe that.” Killers of the Flower Moon is now available on demand.

At least somebody appreciates Leo's talent in KOTFM:

I think it's dissapointing Leo gets overlooked at some critics nominations. But at least he got in at the important ones. Here's a video about the visual effects in KOTFM. Very interesting and well done because I never noticed that it wasn't real.

The answer to the second question is quite interesting. Sitting at the fire and sharing a smoke.😊 And them putting that in their scene too. Also good for them to stop smoking. Though I think Leo is still vaping. Lily Gladstone on Killers of the Flower Moon: ‘It’s paramount Native stories are told by indigenous film-makers’ Her performance in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon has made her an Oscar favourite. She talks about nerves, Native American representation and bonding over cigarettes with DiCaprio Were you at all fazed by working with legends such as Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro? I don’t know that I was fazed, but I was definitely intimidated at first. With a role as big as Molly, you’ve just got to get through that quickly. But my hands were shaking the first day with Leo, and the same with Robert. Is there anything you did to break the ice with DiCaprio, your on-screen husband? He invited me over to dinner. We were sitting outside at his place with a fire going, and just talking. He pulled out a packet of cigarettes, and I hadn’t brought mine with me. So I was like: “Oh, I’m sorry. Can I bum one?” So it was the two of us sharing a few cigarettes over the fire and just getting to know each other that really broke the ice. And then he said: “This feels good. We need to put this in the film somehow. I think Ernest and Molly should smoke together.” I was like: “Yeah, that sounds great.” A lot of ladies would have their little pipes – tobacco was very much a thing. So we enjoyed that. It’s funny, as since then both of us have quit. Your character is so central to the movie, I wanted to see more of her, and yet the emphasis is still on the white men. Is that just the reality of the movie industry? You’re definitely not alone in thinking that. And I think it’s great that there’s been so much call to see more of a Native perspective and more of Native characters. Marty understood that it wasn’t his place to be that film-maker. While there’s definitely a need for more Native stories to be out there, it’s paramount they be told by indigenous film-makers. It doesn’t mean that there’s not a very important place that films like this hold, to make general audiences care about these stories and characters more. Your character Molly spends quite a bit of time suffering, grieving and being ill. Was that harrowing to play? Yeah, and sometimes I did need to have time to myself, just in my trailer. But ultimately, there was such a strong Native presence on that set – the cast, the crew, the extras. And when you get a lot of Natives together in any one space, it’s just laughter all the time. So I felt like that was one way I was able to sustain a sense of self and take myself away from this traumatic story for a time. It must feel good to be getting this recognition, but this story also stirs up painful memories for Native Americans. Is that a contradictory feeling? The way that we deal with it is by celebrating; counteracting it with humour – they’ve always kind of gone in tandem for me. I think that’s one thing that people really note about our style of storytelling. Just to reference Reservation Dogs, Sterling Harjo’s show, people are always remarking how in one episode, you’re crying and laughing – those two things together. So I don’t know if “contradict” is the right word; it feels more like balance. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/dec/20/lily-gladstone-on-killers-of-the-flower-moon-its-paramount-native-stories-are-told-by-indigenous-film-makers?CMP=share_btn_tw

Looks like they were doing interviews for the european press. Hopefully we will get the videos soon. And the first video arrived

‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Lily Gladstone praise the film’s historical accuracy and each other in passionate Wednesday chat In an online interview/webinar designed to spark awards momentum with members of the entertainment media on Wednesday, “Killers of the Flower Moon” stars Lily Gladstone and Leonardo DiCaprio discussed the importance of maintaining the historical accuracy of director Martin Scorsese’s epic while at the same time praising the work and humanity of one another. DiCaprio portrays Ernest Burkhart and Gladstone his wife Mollie – a member of the Osage Nation – in telling the real-life story of a series of brutal murders of the Osage people fueled by oil and greed in early 1920s Oklahoma. “Speaking specifically about working with Mr. Scorsese, we’ve done a few biopics together based in real history,” DiCaprio says. “This had a whole new level of responsibility in my opinion. A lot of things could have been up for our own interpretation, or our own viewpoint, on how to tell this story. But we knew based on how important this was historically, and this was a sort of lost, very dark chapter in American history that we needed to tell correctly. And that meant we needed to listen. That was our responsibility, not only after reading the book and delving into all of the great research that (author) David Grann did. We needed to go to the Osage community and hear their perspective on this story. SEELily Gladstone dethrones Emma Stone as Oscar Experts’ front-runner for Best Actress Gladstone, who is herself of indigenous heritage, shared that she and DiCaprio “took several community meetings together” on location in Oklahoma. “It was really incredible actually walking into a community that had no idea of who we were as individuals but knew who we were there to play,” she said. “And immediately, the community kind of started treating us and regarding us as those characters…Just taking these meetings together, hearing about who these people (we were playing) were, and hearing it from Osage in meeting after meeting…So I think as we were building our characters individually, we were also taking these meetings together, building what the dynamic may have been as this couple.” She adds that it wasn’t at all clear at the outset that the dynamic of hers and DiCaprio’s characters was going to function onscreen the way that it did between the actual Ernest and Mollie in reality. “It was a really fun acting exercise in those early weeks and reminded me of just being in school again where you’re just given lines and text without any context.” DiCaprio wasn’t at all surprised that his director was even more tied to delivering the authenticity of the story than he and Gladstone were. “There were moments with Marty on the set where I looked at him and he said, ‘I feel this story in my bones. I feel this incredible responsibility to tell this correctly’,” he recalls. “And especially after doing research and looking back at history from a Native (American) perspective, how Hollywood has portrayed these stories in the past, this was an incredibly sensitive one. It’s generational. The Osage are still affected by this moment in history, ad we just knew it was our job to listen and get their perspective. A lot of those meetings and working with Lily really shaped (the film).” In terms of how well the actors got along during the shoot, well, it was clearly the mutual admiration society. Asked about something unexpected she learned about DiCaprio as they worked together, Gladstone responds, “How incredibly generous he is – I mean, as a human being, as an actor.” She admits it was intimidating being the new kid on the block who hadn’t worked at this level before. “The imposter syndrome feelings, the feeling that you’re not going to get it right. All of that was just so easy to get around because (DiCaprio is) so patient. he’s so generous, he’s so committed to this film. I mean, he told me the first week how much this film meant to him, and I could see that immediately. And just the amount of space I was given, the amount of encouragement I was given. And that continues. He’s one of the most generous people I’ve met in my life.” DiCaprio was equally taken with his co-star. “I knew after our initial meeting how incredibly intelligent she was,” he emphasizes, “(and) she really inhabited the soul of Mollie. Oftentimes, she came on set and it felt like the presence of Mollie was there. She came up with so many amazing moments and dynamics. The whole notion of me being the trickster, the coyote, which was a prevalent theme and something that really shaped the entire relationship between these two characters was all her idea…I mean, it was amazing the amount of texture she brought to not only her performance, but the entire structure of the movie and shaping the movie that you see today.” Both Gladstone and DiCaprio are among the frontrunners in this year’s Oscar race for Best Actress and Best Actor, respectively. In fact, Gladstone this week overtook Emma Stone (“Poor Things”) for first place among the expert journalists weighing in at Gold Derby. DiCaprio remains locked in the fourth position behind Cillian Murphy (“Oppenheimer”), Bradley Cooper (“Maestro”) and Paul Giamatti (“The Holdovers”). https://www.goldderby.com/article/2023/killer-of-the-flower-moon-leonardo-dicaprio-lily-gladstone-interview/

Oh I would love for Leo to work with Greta. Greta would definitely be willing because she loves/loved Leo. About the new project: I wouldn't mind if Leo did two movies back to back again. The Wager seems unlikely because I think they need time for pre production and for the script. I'm happy when he's on set again early next year. Then we maybe have a finished movie by december🙏
