Inside Movie Stars’ Salaries (...) That doesn’t mean that movie stars need a bailout. The streaming wars have been very good for their bottom lines. Apple will pay Leonardo DiCaprio $30 million to reteam with Martin Scorsese on the historical drama “Killers of the Flower Moon,” as well as shell out $30 million to Brad Pitt for getting behind the wheel of a currently untitled Formula One drama from “Top Gun: Maverick” director Joseph Kosinski and $35 million to Will Smith for appearing in the escaped-slave thriller “Emancipation.” Not to be outdone, Netflix will pony up $20 million for Chris Hemsworth and $10 million to Millie Bobby Brown to reprise their roles in the upcoming sequels to “Extraction” and “Enola Holmes.” (...) But those gaudy paydays come with caveats. Apple has included clauses in some contracts that make bonuses contingent on films coming in on time and on budget. And all of the streamers are essentially paying out the actors’ backends. That eliminates the risk that their movies will collapse at the box office, which would theoretically deprive them of all those bonuses. Yet it also puts a cap on their potential earnings if, say, “Killers of the Flower Moon” is a globe-straddling phenomenon. (...) The good times may not last. There’s a nagging sense that as the country braces for recession and media companies see their stock prices plunge, stars could start to feel the pinch. After years of free spending, Netflix has signaled to investors that it is serious about maintaining its operating margins at 19% to 20%. That’s made the streamer much more selective about writing huge checks for buzzy projects. At the same time, companies like Warner Bros. Discovery are grappling with heavy debt loads and have made a commitment to slash costs. To be fair, Apple, with a market cap of $2.4 trillion, seems unlikely to be forced to belt-tighten, but at some point all this economizing will have a trickle-down effect in terms of star salaries.

Leonardo DiCaprio Will Get Massive Payday For Scorsese's Next Movie A new report reveals Leonardo DiCaprio's massive payday for Martin Scorsese's new movie coming to Apple TV+, Killers of the Flower Moon. Leonardo DiCaprio's massive payday for Martin Scorsese's new movie Killers of the Flower Moon has been revealed. The upcoming historical drama marks the sixth collaboration between the legendary director and Oscar-winning actor, including Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed, Shutter Island, and The Wolf of Wall Street. Co-adapted by prolific screenwriter Eric Roth and based on the 2017 book of the same name, Killers of the Flower Moon will chronicle the mysterious murders of members of the Osage tribe in northeastern Oklahoma during the 1920s after vast oil deposits are discovered on their land. This prompts an investigation headed by the newly formed FBI led by 29-year-old J. Edgar Hoover. DiCaprio heads up the Killers of the Flower Moon cast as Ernest Burkhart, a key figure in the murders alongside Robert De Niro as his uncle, William Hale. Other than the two Scorsese regulars, the film also stars Jesse Plemons as former Texas Ranger Tom White, who investigates the murders, and indigenous actors Lily Gladstone and Tantoo Cardinal. Though Scorsese's upcoming film doesn't yet have a release date, a new report reveals just how much DiCaprio received for his lead role. According to Variety, the actor was paid $30 million for Killers of the Flower Moon. This is on par with what Apple paid DiCaprio's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood co-star Brad Pitt to lead an untitled Formula One drama from Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski. However, it's a tick below the $35 million the streamer paid Will Smith to appear in the upcoming film Emancipation. Interestingly, $30 million is exactly what DiCaprio was paid for Don't Look Up, his most recent film, which released on Netflix in December. For many decades, there were standard rates for the biggest movie stars, though that has changed due to the advent of streaming. Now, companies like Apple and Netflix pay actors more initially since they'll miss out on a potential cut of the box office earnings if their film were to be released in theaters. Killers of the Flower Moon was produced on a $200 million budget, the most expensive film ever shot in Oklahoma. It would be hard to argue that 15 percent of that production budget was not well spent on DiCaprio, one of the greatest actors of his generation. Over the years, his collaborations with Scorsese have all been financially successful with the last two, Shutter Island and The Wolf of Wall Street, resulting in decent box office returns for Paramount. When Killers of the Flower Moon releases on Apple TV+, its success will instead be measured by streaming numbers and how it fares during awards season. Source

@kellybsbloveraccording to some people Leo's the main reason the world is going down LOL Still they're not capable to just unfollow him or to tell the world what their daily tribute is to make things better. They only demand from Leo being better, different, but for christ sake just not Leo anymore. My simple advice But like Leo clinging on bad habits they clinging on Leo not seeing the irony in all of it. That at least is quite funny sometimes.

All of us

And some people say netflix movies aren't memorable/don't have any impact LOL #DLU trending

I mean imagine Leo casually leaning on the back of your chair like this on some fancy event he took you where every other man is wearing a suit but him because he knows you gettin dizzy by the simple look of his bare arms #arm porn #sexy mofo #little imagine That's it.

Leonardo DiCaprio lists posh Beverly Hills mansion for rent Titanic star Leonardo DiCaprio has put one of his LA mansions on the rental market with an eye-watering price tag of US$32,500 per month. According to The Dirt, the A-list star purchased the posh Beverly Hills mansion last year for just under US$10 million, adding to his already extensive property portfolio that includes properties in Malibu and Los Feliz. The traditional two-storey home in the Beverly Hills Flats neighbourhood was originally built in the 1930s, before recently being extensively remodelled to include white oak floors, designer light fixtures and steelcase doors. With four bedrooms and six bathrooms across 434sq m of living space, the mansion offers renters the chance to relax in celebrity style. The main level boasts a formal entry foyer with spiral staircase, which leads into a living space highlighted by a green wood-panelled family room with built-in bookshelves. There’s also an open-concept entertainment area with brass wet bar and doors that open to the backyard. The gourmet kitchen includes high-end Sub-Zero, Viking and Wolf appliances, a beverage centre and an eat-in island bench with black Marquina granite and white Carrara marble. The kitchen also offers a breakfast nook with floor-to-ceiling French doors spilling out to an alfresco dining terrace. Upstairs there are three ensuite bedrooms with the master retreat sitting beneath a cathedral ceiling, and boasting a mini-bar, walk-in closet, and luxe marble bath equipped with an oval soaking tub. A separate lounge opens out to a balcony overlooking the hedge-lined backyard hosting a rectangular pool and patio with a fire pit. Source

This is kinda... scary.

The most memorable characters from Martin Scorsese movies 23. Teddy Daniels ("Shutter Island") As we'll see here, Scorsese has had a strong working relationship with Leonardo DiCaprio. And while this might be one of DiCaprio's most overrated performances (co-star Mark Ruffalo, however, does shine in the film), the character itself is no less intriguing in this 1950s-based neo-noir psychological thriller from 2010. Former soldier-turned U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels investigates a missing patient at a psychiatric facility — only to realize the situation, or he himself, might not be what it all seems to be. 21. Howard Hughes ("The Aviator") More from Scorsese and DiCaprio. Both were nominated for an Academy Award for this biopic from 2004. In real life, Hughes is easy to like, but DiCaprio manages to humanize the persona. He makes the eccentric and reclusive mogul seem genuinely sympathetic. While DiCaprio did not win the Academy Award for this role, he recorded his first of three Golden Globe wins for the performance that once again proved Scorsese's vision for fiction and non-fiction is equally superb. 8. William Costigan ("The Departed") Even amid a legendary ensemble cast (Mark Wahlberg, Matt Damon, Alec Baldwin, Martin Sheen, Jack Nicholson), Leonardo DiCaprio's William Costigan is The Departed's one character whom the audience truly can harbor strong feelings while watching. It's another Scorsese film that brilliantly shows DiCaprio’s acting depth. We can see for ourselves, and should be able to feel, his emotional and physical pain as an undercover cop trying to take down a notorious Irish mob boss. 2. Jordan Belfort ("The Wolf of Wall Street") Leonardo DiCaprio’s working relationship with Scorsese reached its zenith (for the moment) on this 2013 black comedy based on stockbroker Jordan Belfort’s memoir. Leo's sensational portrayal of the corrupt, yet undisputed genius, boiler-room specialist earned him and the picture five Academy Award nominations. DiCaprio didn't win the Oscar for Best Actor, but he walked away with his second Golden Globe. Once an actor and director establish trust in each other, movies fans get memorable performances like this one. Source In short: Sorry Amsterdam.
