Lily about her friend Leo in new ELLE interview:

 

On her “only in Hollywood” moment

“Marty’s 80th birthday party. I couldn’t turn around without being like, ‘Oh my God.’ First I sat next to Robbie Robertson, who I’ve loved since I was a kid. Before I did a lot of theater, I was just a little expressive, chunky ballerina who would choreograph my own dances, and I did a lot of choreography to Robbie Robertson & The Red Road Ensemble. Then I was introduced to Steven Spielberg—it was the third time that we met. We were like, ‘Oh yeah! We know each other.’ That was all in the span of 10 minutes. Margot Robbie was seated at one table; Jennifer Lawrence was at another. And in all of that, the person who was grounding for me was Leonardo DiCaprio. Like, where’s my friend? There’s my friend! What is happening? So that was a very Hollywood experience—I couldn’t turn around without a titan right there.”

Now that I have finally watched both movies I think I liked KOTFM better overall. Not just for Leo. Franz Rogowski (german actor) beating his strong american competition at NYFC awards is quite surprising.

Best Picture Race: ‘Oppenheimer’ or ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’?

 

E8CBA982-3096-43DD-825C-72BFD6DA4B05.jpe

 

With today’s Best Film win at NYFCC, “Killers of the Flower Moon” is now very much in the race to win the Oscar for Best Picture. The only film currently standing in its way also happens to be the frontrunner, and that’s “Oppenheimer.”

How great is it to potentially have an awards season with Martin Scorsese and Christopher Nolan going head to head. Their films deserve all the love that they’re going to be getting these next few weeks.

”Killers of the Flower Moon” is richly atmospheric and character-driven to a tee. What ‘Killers’ does is hold and fascinate you in a step-by-step fashion, and it radiates profound moral grief and heartache.

It’s three hours of scheming and murder, edited via multiple different genres — romance, western, whodunit. The way Scorsese tells the story is also rather unconventional. You’re never sure where the story is headed or why, nothing is obvious.

What ‘Killers’ amounts to is a real and lived in world and it’s absolute fire-in-your-belly cinema. It’s also very measured and matter of fact in its clinical execution. It’s one of Scorsese’s steadiest, and most methodical depictions of morally toxic individuals.

“Oppenheimer” is Nolan’s boldest, most dense film and one that comes into clearer focus on subsequent viewings. I’ve seen in three times and it only gets better as a film.

Even at three hours, the amount of story that Nolan packs into “Oppenheimer” cannot enough convey everything that he has to say. “Oppenheimer” closely resembles “Dunkirk” in the way it manages to weave countless storyline structures into this magnificent whole.

This is a messy, sprawling, operatic statement from Nolan. It’s also technically masterful. Incredibly exciting to behold, a mosaic of intellectual cinema drenched onto the screen. There’s so much going on, in almost every frame, that it’d be foolish for one to believe that he or she can fully grasp it in just a single viewing. I can’t wait to see it again.

Here’s your chance to chime in. I gather many of you have seen both films, hopefully on the big screen — which one deserves it more? Both are 3+ hour epics with some of the finest filmmaking of the year, but what’s been the bigger achievement?

I’d have to give a slight edge to Scorsese’s film. Don’t get me wrong, both ‘Killers’ and “Oppenheimer” have flaws to them, but their ambitions and the risks they take are soaringly exciting. Forget about “Barbie,” both of these films marked the year in American cinema.

^I also tried to rememder a high five scene. 

 

Here's the KOTFM Screenplay. It seems to be quite the same as the movie:

https://deadline.com/2023/12/killers-of-the-flower-screenplay-read-script-martin-scorsese-eric-roth-1235648552/

 

Here's a very old draft which is completely different from the movie:

 

 

 

Leo and Kate:

 

Celebrate the milestone anniversary of 'Titanic' with ET's exclusive behind-the-scenes peek ahead of the upcoming re-release.

It's safe to say that the success of James Cameron's Titanic hinged on Kate Winslet's chemistry with Leonardo DiCaprio.

Thankfully, the two young stars instantly connected, making the 1997 epic the iconic classic it is today. And over 20 years after the film's release in theaters, their bond is still a marvel, which Winslet gives new insight into for a new featurette, Titanic: Stories from the Heart, found on the bonus disc of the new 4k Ultra HD release.

"Once I started working with Leo, we were able to kind of find our own rhythm. And it's amazing to kind of look back and think about it all over again," Winslet remembers in ET's exclusive peek at the upcoming release above.

She recalls that they "clicked immediately, right away." "He was this kind of mess of long, skinny, uncoordinated limbs. And he was just very free with himself, and he had this effervescent energy that was really magnetic," she adds. "And I remember thinking, 'Oh, this is gonna be fun. We're definitely gonna get along.' And we just really did. We just really did."

Gushing about her former co-star and close friend, Winslet praises DiCaprio for his way of seeing their characters, describing the other star as a "ferociously intelligent man."

"He was then very, very smart, very, very curious. So he was really fascinated with the period, the details to do with the boat, the lower classes, where those people had come from, how those people had paid for their tickets," she shares. "We connected on so many levels. That sense of focus on the craft and still really caring deeply about that to this day."

The close bond they formed on the Titanic set is still alive today. Winslet shares how often the two connect in real time, saying, "And we'll always just make that call right away. There's no like, 'Hang on, I'll call you tomorrow.' It's instant. And that's actually really something."

"You know, if you think about it, in the world that we live in now, to have friendships that bind you, and that shared history, it's really something," she concludes.

To think there had been a chance that DiCaprio wouldn't have landed the role of Jack opposite Winslet as Rose! While chatting with ET last year, Cameron revealed that he had to "sell" the young actor to the studios at the time. 

"Look, we were leaning toward Leo, but I hadn't seen him do anything," Cameron told ET. "And he didn't want to read [for the part]. He said, 'Oh, I don't read.' You know, I'm like, 'Well, are you a little diva? 18 years old? 19 years old?' 'No, I don't read.' Like, 'OK, really? See ya. Wouldn't want to be ya.' So, I called his bluff, right? And he went and read. And he was spectacular, of course."

While DiCaprio may have won Cameron over, the studio wasn't convinced. "But now, I had to sell him to the studio," the director recalled. "And they were like, 'Based on what? [What's Eating] Gilbert Grape? Come on, we're gonna hang this giant movie, romantic film on Gilbert Grape? Give me a break.' So, you know, then I had to talk him into it. But see, Leo wouldn't let me film [him reading]. So, I was like, 'OK, you just have to take my word for it.'"

Needless to say, it was a "tenuous" journey for Cameron. "It shows you how fragile the whole thing is, this whole moviemaking thing," he said, before later adding, "I'm pretty careful about my casting." 

"I mean, I certainly can't imagine it being anyone other than Leo. But also, I was not party to any of those conversations," Winslet said of Cameron's revelation about DiCaprio almost not getting the part. "I mean, like, how could it have ever not been Leo?" 

That said, "I am enormously proud of it," she said of the film, adding, "I have always maintained that Jim is a complete genius. He's an extraordinary filmmaker and he knows exactly what he's doing. His storytelling, his scriptwriting -- he's extraordinary at creating not just strong roles for women, but women who are at the center, who are leaders, you know, who lead with integrity." 

Fans can dig into more behind-the-scenes goodies when Titanic drops in 4K Ultra HD for the first time on Dec. 5. It'll be available in a new two-disc set that also includes a Blu-ray disc with five hours of new and legacy bonus content, including the new Stories from the Heart featurette.

A limited-edition collector's boxed set is also available, featuring a coffee table book, a blueprint of the Titanic, movie prop reproductions including ship menus and Jack's fateful boarding pass, and sheet music for "My Heart Will Go On."

The bonus disc also features new behind-the-scenes content with producer Jon Landau, taking audiences behind the making of Titanic and its trailer.

‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Available on VOD December 5, 2023 [Updated]

UPDATE: Apple/Paramount have switched the VOD release date of the film to December 5th, 2023. That’s right, ‘Killers’ will be available to rent this coming Tuesday. The date change no doubt could have to do with its impressive NYFCC win or just the fact that it’s not been doing well at the box-office.
