Now I really want Leo in this movie. I mean Leo, Pitt AND Cruise together? In a Tarantino movie? That would be kinda legendary. Tom Cruise Circling A Role in Quentin Tarantino’s ‘The Movie Critic’ None other than Tom Cruise is in talks to appear in Quentin Tarantino’s “The Movie Critic.” This will come down to Cruise’s busy schedule, but the Hollywood star is said to be rearranging his schedule to accommodate a supporting role in the movie. Cruise was one of the first actors Tarantino thought of for the role of Cliff Booth in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”. The character was eventually played by Brad Pitt, who won an Oscar for his performance. Last week, it was reported that Pitt had joined the cast of “The Movie Critic.” Although no other official casting has been announced, the “ensemble” film has been rumoured to include all kinds of talent, including the likes of Kurt Russell, Samuel L. Jackson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Paul Walter Hauser and John Travolta. Cruise, 61, and one of the last remaining old school movie stars, along with Pitt, has been hooked into making only franchise-based action the last decade. He’s burying his talents as a dramatic actor. I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again, many tend to forget just how great of an actor Cruise can be. You can’t watch a film like “Magnolia” or “Collateral” without noticing his acting chops. It’s not surprising that Cruise wants to be a part of Tarantino’s final film — he’s never worked with him and “The Movie Critic” is going to be a major movie event, whenever it gets released (2026?)

Still can't believe PTA wrote most of the script LOL Before Paul Thomas Anderson’s Rewrites, Lily Gladstone Just Had Three Scenes in ‘Killers of The Flower Moon’ We already know that there was a total script overhaul for “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio decided that, instead of depicting the point of view of the FBI, they were going to focus on the story of the Osage nation. Lily Gladstone had stated that ‘Killers’ was a different movie than the one [Scorsese] walked in to make, almost entirely because of what the Osage community had to say about how it was being made and what was being portrayed. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Gladstone admitted that, despite signing on to the film, in the original draft of ‘Killers,’ she only had three scenes in the entire movie … When the “Killers of the Flower Moon” casting directors first contacted her for the film in 2019, Mollie had just three scenes in the screenplay. It was a Martin Scorsese movie, so it wasn’t as if she was going to pass. Gladstone, whose father is Blackfeet and Nez Perce, figured she’d try to land the role and then do what Native American actors too often have to do — try to influence and reshape the role to make it authentic and meaningful. In the rewrites, she has an hour of screentime — she’s now an Oscar nominee for Lead Actress. Gladstone might even win — it’s either her or Emma Stone. Eric Roth, who wrote the original ‘Killers’ screenplay, took a crack at the rewrites. However, at some point in the process, Paul Thomas Anderson was hired by Scorsese to take part in rewriting a good portion of the script. I’m actually surprised that this has not been reported yet by any of the trades.

Always thought it suited him very well in TMITIM so maybe not the worst idea.

No one wants to replace Leo. They want a similiar successful long living varied career like him. Leo sets the golden standard every young actor is reaching for like no other actor in Hollywood after him. It's a fuckin compliment.

It seems Leo appears in Edward Zwicks (Blood Diamond) memoir "shopping" some models between takes LMAO “I’ll be dropping a few names,” Ed Zwick confesses in the introduction to his book. “Over the years I have worked with self-proclaimed masters-of-the-universe, unheralded geniuses, hacks, sociopaths, savants, and saints.” Leonardo DiCaprio was ‘paging through Victoria’s Secret catalogue’ on set of Blood Diamond, director claims Filmmaker Edward Zwick recalled hilarious anecdote in which the star’s love life was gently ribbed by actor Jennifer Connelly Leonardo DiCaprio was found “paging through a Victoria’s Secret catalogue” on the set of Blood Diamond, his director has claimed in a new memoir. The funny anecdote was recalled by filmmaker Edward Zwick, who has written the story of his life in a new book titled Hits, Flops, and Other Illusions: My Fortysomething Years in Hollywood. Zwick is best known for directing films including the Tom Cruise hit The Last Samurai and Glory, which won Denzel Washington his first Oscar. Shared in a photo of the book taken by film critic Bilge Ebiri on Twitter/X, Zwick mentioned his DiCaprio memory while recalling the making of Blood Diamond, his 2006 thriller set during the Sierra Leone civil war. Zwick heaped praise on the “terrific” DiCaprio and his two co-stars, Jennifer Connelly and Djimon Hounsou, and said he remembered “only one instance of even the mildest misbehaviour” between them, adding: “It’s more a testament to their camaraderie than anything else”. “It seems Leo was currently between gorgeous girlfriends,” Zwick wrote. “One morning I walked into the makeup trailer as I often did to discuss the day’s work with him. I found him in the chair waiting for his turn and noticed he was paging through a Victoria’s Secret catalogue. “‘What are you doing?’ I asked. [Connelly] was in the chair beside him. Without even looking over, she said, ‘Shopping’.” Zwick’s book Hits, Flops, and Other Illusions: My Fortysomething Years in Hollywood is released on 29 February.
