So many things, many things... where do I start? I'm more lost than Lindsey Lohan . The press is making a real circus around this story of Lindsey invading the party of J. Edgar.

I enjoyed reading the accolades that Clint made ​​to Leo... I couldn't agree more with what he said, so true. Oh, and the interview... Robin is so funny . I cannot blame her, I would have jumped on his neck.

Thanks girls for all news, pics, videos and tweets .

"To do a movie just for the sake of doing a romantic comedy or doing a science fiction film seems sort of a profound waste of time," DiCaprio said. "You read something and if you're moved by it and you feel like you know it can be a perfect film and you can do a good job in it and that's sort of my philosophy."

Very well said. Romantic comedy any good actor does. I'd like to see him do a comedy, but not any comedy, would have to be a very good, and this almost doesn't exist. I don't think he should do comedies or romantic comedies to prove he's a great actor. This is for the "kids". Leo is too big .

Tks by_princess .

Fine Nanda. Any romantic comedy for him. But what about SNL? We just want he shows his sense of humor to the rest of world.

Kat If the reporter had been one of us, for sure we would have asked him to resolve the mystery once and for all.

That would be memorable. It would surely be one of the best episodes of all time. Has he ever been asked?

People who don't follow his career think he has no sense of humor. But we know how Leo can be funny .

EXACTLY

About that Has he ever been asked? I think so

[Nanda23]

If he was asked, should have accepted. I read something about him being one of the most requests by the public to present... so we are not alone in this.

[katchitup]

I agree with you princess and Nanda. Leo is actually very funny, and we know how funny he can be. He just takes what he does so seriously that alot of times we don't get those moments from him. But we know hes a funny guy. I would really like to see him on SNL, but I doubt he'll ever do it.

Leonardo DiCaprio a winner in Clint Eastwood’s steady film portrait of ‘J. Edgar’ Hoover

That may be because director Clint Eastwood’s movie is of two minds about J. Edgar Hoover. The longtime FBI “head cop” is a hard-working, but narrow-minded patriot, an upholder of a limited definition of honor and a corruptible battler of corruption.

That can be a plus in a bio-pic, but in a movie whose scope is several decades’ worth of law and order, fair-mindedness often turns into fuzzy noncommitment.

At least Leonardo DiCaprio, grounded and sure, has commitment to spare. His portrayal of Hoover is undeniably terrific.

The film is built around a stodgy narrative device, the famous man telling his tale to a biographer, as the 60-ish Hoover (DiCaprio in rubbery old-man makeup he’s able to transcend) recounts his advancement in 1919 from a Justice Department lawyer into the Bureau of Investigation, as it was known. He targets and deports “radical” immigrants based on the suspicion, but not fact, of criminal intent.

It’s an area Hoover, with his many distrusts and walled-off emotional life, takes to easily.

Hoover is leading the bureau before he’s 30. Still living with his mother (Judi Dench) in a Washington townhouse, he aims the re-named Federal Bureau of Investigation against gangsters and bootleggers.

He takes credit for capturing Lindbergh baby kidnapper Bruno Hauptmann, makes his “G-Men” into pop-cultural figures and falls into a denial-filled love with Clyde Tolson (Armie Hammer), the dewy-eyed assistant director he hand-picked for the F.B.I.

The script, by Dustin Lance Black (“Milk”), dodges specificity in Hoover and Tolson’s relationship; to us, as to the world, they’re confidantes, co-crusaders and soulmates, though never a couple. But they are always together, as “J. Edgar” toggles between the 1960s — when Hoover is an omnipotent Establishment boogeyman targeting the Kennedys and Martin Luther King — and the 1930s, as he, Tolson, and Hoover’s secretary Helen Gandy (Naomi Watts) oversee the use of fingerprinting and DNA evidence in crime cases, and begin keeping incriminating files on prominent Americans.

The no-nonsense libertarian Eastwood, whose steady hand is felt here in a way it wasn’t in “Hereafter” or “Invictus,” doesn’t paint Hoover in vivid strokes (despite some parallels between Hoover’s anti-immigrant status and post-9/11 concerns), yet oddly, his shades-of-gray approach runs counter to Black’s old-fashioned script, full as it is of people telling, not showing, the influence Hoover had on the nation.

Still, Eastwood and cinematographer Tom Stern create a shadowy world of justice decided upon in smoky conference rooms, on restaurant banquettes and via secret recordings.

And DiCaprio, our most underappreciated major actor, superbly fills in the blanks where the script fails. He does it with the un-Hoover-like traits of dignity, subtlety and clarity, hiding nothing but the truth.

Saxon Cordeaux on The Great Gatsby set with Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire

The Adelaide actor plays a gangster in Baz Luhrmann's hotly anticipated film The Great Gatsby, which is now being filmed in Sydney.

Also starring Isla Fisher, inset, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby, Saxon, who is radio stalwart Jeremy Cordeaux's son, is a familiar face to most people from his Australian films including Roadman and The Boys are Back.

"I got to do some scenes with Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire," Saxon enthuses to Confidential.

One of the other gangsters on set tells Saxon's character to "keep an eye on Gatsby".

"It was interesting seeing Leonardo and Tobey in the flesh," he says. "They're both very good looking."

For the role, Saxon had all his hair cut off.

"I was keeping my hair long for an audition but they cut it all off," he says. "Everyone in the 1920s has a part down their left side. It's all combed over. Baz was shooting long scenes, it was good fun."

While he didn't get to chat to Leo - because if you're on set it's a no-no to chat to the stars - Saxon did get to talk to Tobey off the set.

"He's a really lovely guy," Saxon says.

Baz also got the thumbs up.

"(Tobey) had his daughter on location and so in between he'd been out playing with his daughter which I thought was pretty cute," Saxon says.

^^ All I worry about it that eventhough Leo is getting nothing but good reviews,

J. Edgar itself is getting mixed one's (mostly positive, but neverthless..)

I hope that doesn't ruin Leo's chances..

Clint Eastwood Says Leonardo DiCaprio Will Play Sinatra

In a recent interview with The New York Times, Clint Eastwood talked briefly about the possibility of his J. Edgar star Leonardo DiCaprio playing Frank Sinatra in a biopic which currently has Martin Scorsese in the director’s chair.

When the subject was brought up, Clint stated the following:

“He’s ready to play Frank Sinatra in another Scorsese biopic. “That is in Mr. Scorsese’s hands,” he said of a potential Sinatra film, pausing to pop a wedge of watermelon into his mouth and pour himself another cup of coffee. “I’m always incredibly game for anything that he decides to do.”

This of course confirms what we all thought was a strong possibility, unfortunately though it doesn’t give us much to go on. Rumours have been circulating that Scorsese would next take on Silence and Robert De Niro stated that he, Scorsese, Al Pacino and Joe Peci would make a film titled The Irishman.

There is also Scorsese’s remake of The Gambler which is being penned by William Monahan and also has DiCaprio in talks to star. Furthermore, the director is also said to be considering directing a adaptation of a crime novel titled The Snowman. The title character, Harry Hole, is described as being, “close-shaven blond hair, blue eyes, pale complexion” which sounds pretty close to Leonardo DiCaprio.

Where the proposed Sinatra biopic would fit in is currently unknown. The director is clearly very busy but one thing is for certain, whether it be the Sinatra film or another project, I’m sure we’ll be seeing the two team up again in the near future. DiCaprio and Scorsese make an excellent team and I’m eagerly awaiting the announcement of their next film.

OMG you posted so many things today! huge thanks girls!

[barilace]

Thanks for the articles and etc.

Ew. I don't approve of the Sinatra biopic. I don't want to see Leo doing any type of singing or lip singing. I will cringe so hard everyone in the theater will feel it lol. Scorsese and Leo need to find another project to work together on. Not Sinatra. Eww. Leo looks nothing like Frank. Someone else should do Frank and Leo could play another part in the movie. I'd be down with that.

Also I cracked up in that preview for the Dateline interview when Leo made that sarcastic comment about "that's what it was supposed to look like" when the interview guy was like "dur hurrr hurr you looked like an old man dur hurr hurr." Leo literally started biting on his tongue after he said that sarcastic-ish comment back to the man. It cracked me up.

And yes! I'd love to see Leo do SNL. But SNL is such crap nowadays so in ways...I don't want him to. Still, I hope one day he finds a smart comedy because I think he'd be amazing in a comedy since people who are not fan fans of his just, I think, always see him as this hard ass, serious type and I always feel he is the exact opposite of that.

You can blame him, that was a stupid question. But what do you mean, he felt bad about it?
