  4. Apparantly Leo met with Tarantino recently (leoandhismodels posted a sighting but I didn't save it). Maybe they discussed the possibilities of Leos return as Rick Dalton? Even if Tarantino won't direct the movie I guess he's still very much involved in the whole process since he wrote the script etc Love this poster.

  8. Leonardo DiCaprio Plays Drug and Booze-Addled Revolutionary in Crazy CinemaCon Footage for PTA’s ‘One Battle After Another’ Leonardo DiCaprio hit CinemaCon on Tuesday to debut a new look at Paul Thomas Anderson‘s “One Battle After Another,” an $130 million adaptation of a Thomas Pynchon novel that’s one of those big, bold bets that studios rarely make anymore. It’s the first time DiCapro and Anderson have ever collaborated — DiCaprio almost starred in Anderson’s breakout “Boogie Nights,” but left the project to appear in “Titanic,” and the rest, as they say, is history. “I’ve been wanting to work with Paul for, gosh, 20 years now,” DiCaprio said. “With this film he’s tapped into something politically and culturally that’s burning beneath our psyche.” DiCaprio went on to promise that the film unspools on an “incredibly epic scale.” In that spirit, Anderson directed the film in VistaVision for Imax. The film finds DiCaprio playing a hard-living revolutionary who is trying to rescue his kidnapped daughter. In off-beat, often hilarious footage shared at CinemaCon by DiCaprio and his co-stars Regina Hall and Teyana Taylor, DiCaprio’s character struggles to remember the password that will bring a group of radicals to his assistance. “I fried my brain,” DiCaprio admits on a phone call with an operative. “I have abused drugs and alcohol for the past 30 years. I am a drug and alcohol lover.” But the voice on the other end of the line isn’t sympathetic, telling DiCaprio’s character that he’s being too aggressive and is making him feel unsafe because his raised voice is giving him “noise triggers.” “This is not the way revolutionaries do shit,” DiCaprio says in frustration. “One Battle After Another” boasts a top-shelf cast. Sean Penn co-stars as the film’s main villain, a steely-eyed colonel who looked pretty frigging scary in the footage, while Benicio del Toro is DiCaprio’s gun-toting, gonzo comrade. Newcomer Chase Infiniti rounds out the cast. The project has been shrouded in secrecy — Warner Bros., the studio behind the film, didn’t even reveal its title until a few weeks ago. “One Battle After Another” has attracted a great deal of media attention for its budget, a massive figure for a movie that doesn’t feature superheroes or space battles. None of Anderson’s films have ever grossed anywhere close to what is being spent on “One Battle After Another,” though many are considered to be among the greatest movies ever made. DiCaprio’s box office track record is enviable, however. In the past, he’s turned challenging fare like “The Revenant” and “The Wolf of Wall Street” into unlikely financial hits. There’s certainly about 1,000 times the action of Anderson’s “There Will Be Blood.” The latest trailer overflows with car chases, machine gun battles, Swat teams kicking down doors and one stressed out DiCaprio. “Don’t fucking panic,” DiCaprio says at the end of the trailer. “Keep your shit together.” “One Battle After Another” was originally slated to debut this summer, but Warner Bros. recently moved the film from August 8 to September 26, 2025, where it will be more likely to be part of the awards conversation.
  9. Some tibits from people who've seen OBAA via goldderby. Also seems like Regina Hall has a very small role (5 minutes screen time), Teyana is "only" supporting, same for Penn, Del Toro and basically everyone else expect Leo.
  10. What I like about it is the fact Leo would finally working with Fincher even though he isn't at his top game anymore imo. I think his last really good movie is "Gone Girl" but haven't seen his netflix movies The Killer nor Mank to be fair. But his collaborations with Pitt are legendary (Se7en, Fight Club, Benjamin Button *chefs kiss). According to TheSneider Leo would "only" appear in a small cameo and Margot is also interested in returning. The InSneider additionally reports that Leonardo DiCaprio might appear in a small cameo. Margot Robbie is interested in returning as well. Also this Apparently, DiCaprio is a little hesitant to sign on for a small role in what is, effectively, a Cliff Booth movie — much to Fincher, Pitt, and Netflix’s great annoyance. Sure, the focus may be shifting from Leo’s Rick Dalton to Pitt’s character, but I doubt DiCaprio is going to leave those guys hanging. I also wasn't aware the Evel Knievel movie is for netflix!? Separately, I understand that DiCaprio still hasn’t closed his deal for an Evel Knievel movie at Netflix. His team continues to negotiate with Paramount, but that Damien Chazelle movie could be in jeopardy if the two sides can’t come to an agreement.
  11. Also Laineys movie Sarah having a nice trailer reaction of OBAA. Unhinged Leo There was a moment in the 2010s when Leonardo DiCaprio’s career was consumed by “when will he win his Oscar” talk, and winning for 2015’s The Revenant felt like releasing a pressure valve and we could go back to just enjoying his performances. I hate the phrase “one of our greats” for both its proprietary implication and self-importance but like, Leonardo DiCaprio IS one of our great actors. The guy is rarely in a bad movie and never gives a bad performance—although in grand Oscar tradition, The Revenant isn’t even close to his best work—and he’s got a range big enough that everyone has their “favorite Leo”. My favorite Leo is “unhinged Leo”, the Leo of Gangs of New York and Django Unchained and the second half of The Aviator. The trailer for Leo’s upcoming film with Paul Thomas Anderson, titled One Battle After Another, dropped yesterday and it looks like a top shelf unhinged performance from Leo. He’s got a gross mustache, he’s in a dirty bathrobe, he’s screaming about his daughter and wearing blue blockers, and I am digging every second of it. The film is loosely inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland, which means it is also PTA returning to his Pynchon hyper-fixation, which previously yielded the vastly underappreciated Inherent Vice. One Battle also stars Teyana Taylor, Regina Hall, Benicio Del Toro, Alana Haim, Chase Infiniti, and Sean Penn. That’s a banger cast, and Teyana Taylor, in particular, looks spectacular in this trailer. The film itself looks great, a given with a filmmaker as meticulous as PTA. He shot the film around California and Texas, including some truly mundane spaces around Sacramento and El Paso, yet he used VistaVision, which offers a higher resolution format for 35-millimeter film. Most people use VistaVision for stuff like sweeping landscapes and highly visual cinema, PTA uses it for supermarkets. The film also continues PTA’s collaboration with Jonny Greenwood, who is scoring the film. The film is set for a September 26 release date, which is, once again, not a confidence builder. Warner Brothers believed in the film enough to give it a $140 million budget—$20 million of which went to Leo—but not enough to give it either a summer release, selling it as counterprogramming to superheroes, or a more sensible fall release date and play up the cinematic matchmaking of PTA and DiCaprio. Instead, they’re being wishy-washy with that September date, reminiscent of how they treated Bong Joon-ho’s Mickey 17. It’s almost like they don’t want these auteur-driven films to succeed…
  12. Just because you have a trailer doesn't necessarily mean you also have a finished movie. ‘One Battle After Another’: Warner Bros. and Paul Thomas Anderson “Fighting” Over Final Cut THIS (couldn't agree more) Listen, I don't blame Warners for freaking out over PTA’s very pricey film, they're coming off two consecutive bombs, “Mickey 17” and “Alto Knights,” but when you give an eccentric filmmaker like Anderson $140M to write and direct a Thomas Pynchon adaptation, then you get what you pay for.
  13. Already iconic Great to see Leo and Benicio sharing some screentime! Also silly Leo is always a delight 😅 He looks so chaotically lost I can't
