    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 ā€œCut!ā€ 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, ā€œOh, this is gonna be a hoot.ā€ 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, ā€œOh, so it begins. Just wait till they see you running around with your little suspenders!ā€

    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 ā€œPussy Posseā€.
    ā€œWelcome elder statesmanā€¦ā€ 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.

    Leonardo DiCaprio Offered $3M to Cameo in ā€˜Once Upon A Time in Hollywood’ Sequel

    So, apparently, Leonardo DiCaprio is starting to piss Netflix off by ā€œdragging his feetā€ and showing reluctance in appearing in David Fincher’s ā€œOnce Upon A Time in Hollywoodā€ sequel — set to shoot in July.

    It’s come to the point where, according to The Hot Mic, Netflix is now offering DiCaprio $3M, and that’s just for one day of shooting, but apparently, DiCaprio says the amount is too low. Let’s remember, his role in the ā€˜Hollywood’ sequel is supposed to just be a cameo.

    Usually, DiCaprio demands $20M per movie. I can’t see him leaving Fincher and Pitt hanging on this one — he’ll soon sign up for the damn cameo. Watch out for a potential Margot Robbie appearance as well.

    I don't think he will take part in it. At least I hope so. But won't complain if he does either haha.

    Maybe Leo won't do it anyway, Cliff and Rick were going separate ways at the end Once Upon a Time In Hollywood, plus the movie focus is Cliff, so...Ā 

    I honestly hope Leo doesn't go for it. Even though I loved OUATIH, but I don't think Leo will be in it and as you said, the focus will be on Cliff.

    PTA’s ā€˜One Battle After Another’ Polarizes in Vegas

    No, I haven’t forgotten that Paul Thomas Anderson’s ā€œOne Battle after Anotherā€ test screened in Vegas on Tuesday. I’ve gotten plenty of emails asking how the screening went.

    Honestly, I was just waiting for more reactions to come in since what I’ve been hearing so far are clear signs of a polarizing film. Good luck to Warner Bros in marketing this one. One attendee emailed me saying, ā€œindescribable film. Messy, but purposely so?ā€

    I spoke to a handful of attendees and the reactions coming out of the Vegas screening have been wildly all over the place. I spoke to another attendee, disappointed by the film, who overheard the person seated next to them muttering after the end credits, ā€œwhat the hell was that?ā€ Whether that was meant as complimentary to the film is not known.

    A big ā€˜ol WTF kind of film is music to my ears, but not the type of reaction you want to hear as a studio head who just invested $140M into this project — here’s looking at you Pam Abdy and Michael De Luca. What do to to with this film which PTA had pitched to Warners his ā€œmost commercialā€ outing, and one filled with ā€œthe biggest stuntsā€œ of his career.

    I wouldn’t even look at the Letterboxd ratings, which have never been much of an indication of anything, even if there are some worrisome scores on there coming in from the Vegas screening. I remember very well when ā€œPhantom Threadā€ test reactions were mixed, and the film turned out to be an acclaimed and Oscar-nominated film.

    Much like last month’s reactions, an attendee compared the film to Jonathan Demme’s ā€œSomething Wild.ā€ PTA attempts to blend numerous genres in the film — comedy, action, thriller, romance, horror— and it’s a ā€œhigh-wire actā€ that left some of the crowd scratching their heads at what they had just witnessed.

    Of note, PTA was in attendance, and so were a handful of Warner Bros PR people. Given that the film is getting regularly test screened, and I’m hearing of another one already set up for next month, I imagine they’re still trying to figure out how to market this one.

    We’re also wondering if that August 8 release date will change, if it doesn’t then the smartest thing to do would be to debut the film at Cannes where critics will no doubt greet PTA with open arms. Otherwise, this one could also premiere at the Venice Film Festival and come out in late fall. Another least likely scenario, but one Puck’s Matt Belloni recently reported, is that the film gets ā€œpuntedā€ to 2026.

    I heard Warner Bros. is going through some big mess. I hope it doesn't get in the way of his movie release.Ā

    Leonardo DiCaprio – ā€˜Untitled Paul Thomas Anderson Film’

    Likely to carry the title ā€œOne Battle After Another,ā€ the still-not-officially-titled movie from Paul Thomas Anderson already has the town buzzing.

    With Leonardo DiCaprio and PTA teaming up for the first time and plot details remaining under wraps, the pairing of the Oscar-winning star of ā€œThe Revenantā€ and ā€œThe Departedā€ with the mind behind ā€œThere Will Be Bloodā€ and ā€œLicorice Pizzaā€ promises something bold and unforgettable. With Anderson’s signature storytelling and DiCaprio’s track record of awards-caliber performances and already buzzy roles from Sean Penn, Teyana Taylor, and Regina Hall, expect a cerebral, gripping film that will dominate the conversation.
