    Esquire about Austins try to be the first movie star since Leo - the last movie star so far. Just posting because it's always nice to see that Leo is still... well... the goal every young actor is reaching for.

    They Don't Make Them Like Austin Butler Anymore

     

    bde74c13d4b46be6b8b94911d19b0e6778c2a880 00bd69d67528261dff4b007a740b53153610e17f 5cea03f3fd6e682cf4c6cf580ccaf3054191e532

     

    After Elvis and the Oscar-nomination, the 32-year-old actor is back with two buzzy projects: Masters of the Air and Dune: Part Two. He's got a burning ambition and old-school Hollywood charm—and steely-eyed focus on just one thing.

     

    He will take this world in inches. And then, as a man, through sheer force of desire and artistic abandon, he’ll try to become the first movie star since Leonardo DiCaprio became the last movie star.

    Doubt him if you will. But don’t underestimate his chances.

    (...)

    The thing is, Butler wants to be a particular kind of star. Not just a celebrity. Not just an actor. And he doesn’t want to mess it up. Certainly not by sharing too much. Who he is, to some degree, is at odds with what he wants. That desire to probe and share is diametrically opposed, he says, “with the type of career that I want to have, which is to be able to step into all these different types of people. I think of the days of Paul Newman—we didn’t know a ton about his personal life.” It’s like that with a lot of the stars he admires. Leonardo DiCaprio. Christian Bale. Daniel Day-Lewis.

    “Did we talk about the Lew Wasserman quote?” he asks me the second time we meet. We’re back at Margaux. Different booth. Different lunch order. Avocado toast with poached eggs on Monday; a grilled-chicken sandwich on Wednesday. Butler’s outfit is a perfect inversion of what he wore two days ago: a dark Henley beneath a white T-shirt. Anyway, back to the quote. “Near the end of Wasserman’s life,” Butler begins, referring to the onetime Tinseltown titan, “when speaking about a young actor, Wasserman said, ‘Only let them see him in a dark room.’ ”

    (Funny enough, that quote once ran in these very pages, in Tom Junod’s 2013 profile of DiCaprio. During one passage, DiCaprio’s manager, Rick Yorn, recalls a run-in with Wasserman. “ ‘Lew was old and near the end by this time,’ Yorn says. ‘He died a year or two later. But he knew I was Leo’s manager, and he wanted to give me some advice. He said, “Only let them see him in a dark room.” It took me a minute to figure it out. But what he meant was only let people see him in the movie theater. That’s the dark room.’ ”)

    (...)

    The next Brad Pitt. The next Leonardo DiCaprio. How many young breakouts have been taunted by such titles just to dissolve into the background? Become that guy in that thing. The one who almost was.

    The reality of right now is that whether there will ever be another Brad or Leo is not a question of talent but of the studio system itself. How many of the movies between those two men would even be released in theaters if they were made today? The Beach, The Basketball Diaries, Thelma & Louise—they’d be critically acclaimed streaming releases at best in 2024. Some would become TV shows.

    (...)

    It’s impossible to forecast the future of Hollywood. Will grown-up movies make a comeback? Will Movie Stars continue to exist?

    But I’ll tell you what I do know: From the second that Austin Butler appears as the young-adult Elvis, moments before the first musical performance of the film, bristling with an intoxicating swirl of nerves, excitement, and untapped confidence; from the minute he, as Buck Cleven, leans in, desire written all over his face, a smile flirting with the corners of his mouth, and whispers, “A girl worth writing to is hard to find”—well, there’s no taking your eyes off him.

    They really need to stop trying to make Austin happen. It’s not going to.

    Sweet words from Lily about Leo:

    Have you had a chance to speak to Leonardo DiCaprio or any of the other people from the film yet?

    Leo was maybe the third or fourth person to text me congratulations. I was on the phone with my parents, and I had my mom flip the camera around so I could see the news on their faces, rather than on the screen. I didn’t want to watch the screen of the broadcast because I knew I could see that later. I wanted to see my parents’ reactions. But first thing after Leo’s category, they were like, “We are simultaneously so excited and so pissed off.”

     

    I couldn’t have done what I did in this film without what he did. He made an impossible character so real, and he made my job so much easier by the immense, difficult work that he put in. So, I’m definitely sharing this with him, even though I wish he would have gotten his due, too.

    They both absolutely deserved it! I wish it was based on the performance and not on how much promotion you do. 
     

    Also, this is pretty cool as well!IMG_2413.thumb.jpeg.e185be6ae5534504adf64c8942fc6d39.jpeg

     

    However, I do not believe the Academy will allow any Native American to actually win in this category or in Best Actress, but one can hope.

    Agreed. Although I do feel he wasn't too focused on being in the spotlight this time, it seemed to me he really wanted Lily to shine here, I may be wrong too.

     

    And that's just my 2 cents of course, the first one is that I don't think De Niro was better than Leo in this movie at all, event though we have 2 diff categories here, his role was way easier and the second one is that I don't think he wanted to be in the spotlight this time, for some reason. But again, I MAY be wrong.

     
    This award season has made me admire Leo even more. He knows him being nominated and winning awards is inconsequential for his career. He will get whatever roles he wants with or without them. The fact that he recognized that the white man needed to step aside when the movie/story wasn’t about him is admirable. 🥰

    PTA’s New Film Has Started Production in Eureka, California

    Production on Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film has begun in Eureka, on the coast of California.

    This past December, PTA stated that the film would have a “contemporary setting.” We also learned that the film would be the director’s “most commercial” effort yet. The definition of “commercial” could either be story-wise or the fact that it features one of the biggest stars in the world as part of its cast.


    Leonardo DiCaprio is set to star in the film, alongside Sean Penn and Regina Hall. While not confirmed, there have been a few other actors rumored for this “ensemble” film, including Viggo Mortensen, and Rachel Taylor.

    The film is still untitled. Warner Bros is backing this one, Anderson wrote the script, and he will be producing the film as well. The plot is also being kept under wraps. A reported budget estimated to be approaching $100 million has been set up for this it. Suffice to say, we’ll be keeping a close eye out on this one.

    Lily mentioned Leo twice in this interview.

    I love these roundables so much. It's really fascinating seeing them interact and share experiences and stories. Too bad Leo didn't participate in one of those. My dream would be actors on actors with Leo and Lily or Leo and Kate Winslet 🥰

     

    I really enjoy the roundtables as well. Thanks for the video!
