Just got back from seeing Django. All I can say is OMG!! Leo's performance was freaking amazing!! He better walk away with some hardware this award season. The movie was definitely violent but it was worth every penny to see Mr. Candie. :ddr: Jonah's scene was great too! Very funny. I don't wanna give it away but you'll understand why when you see it. :nicole:

A question : Is that the initial "W" on the round piece on chain Leo is wearing ??

Leo has said in the past that he own's some of his grandfather's chains so that might be his since his name was Wilhelm.

Sydney is 19 hours ahead of Vegas , so they could well make it to Vegas for New Year's eve as well.

At present it is Monday 1:20 pm while in Vegas it is still Sunday 6:20 pm.

It's about a 15 hour flight , so that would leave time for Leo to arrive with a new baseball hat on :p

Thanks katchitup and Fash for your thoughts on PF and Django - wow, you both are so eloquent and insightful when you talk about movies! I feel the same way about PF and Django too.

Thanks sick for all your LEo cover posts ! I knew you would recognize the source of my Leo photo :thumbsup:

It's impressive about the box office for Django because The Hobbit was on a lot of IMAX screens which charge more plus more screens.

Looking at the numbers, the reason why Hobbit took the weekend is the sheer numbers of screens and the 3D and Imax bump. Even with those Django had the highest per screen average of the top three. Likely this is the combination of Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx. The film has been out for six days and it’s already done half the business of Inglourious Basterds, which means its on track to be Quentin Tarantino‘s most successful domestic picture (it’s unknown how international will react). $200 is unlikely, but a $150-$170 finish is possible. With New Year’s Eve and Day on a Monday and Tuesday this upcoming week, it’s hard to know how the numbers will go next weekend. There’s likely to be a heavy fall, but many people are going to try to take off much of this week from work, so it’s possible we could see some strong daily numbers going into the weekend

Interesting Osa, if true. I wonder if it's only Leo who is involed in reshooting? Maybe just some voice overs?

We've heard this story before but a few more details:

The following story about Steven Spielberg's initial connection with Lincoln star Daniel Day Lewis was apparently included an 11.30 Oprah Now interview. I may have heard it and brushed it aside, but I don't think so.

"For a time I was going do [Lincoln] with Liam Neeson," Spielberg explained. "But then, you know, we just decided to move in two different directions. I was sitting around at home one day realizing I'm never going to make Lincoln. It's just never going to happen.

"And Leo DiCaprio came over for dinner that night. It was just my wife and Leo and myself. We were sitting around and Leo said, 'What's happening with Lincoln? You've been, what, five years on this thing?' And I said, 'Longer.' I told Leo the whole story, and I told him I had tried to approach Daniel on another screenplay and I wasn't able to re-approach Daniel.

"And the next day, my assistant said 'Leo's on the phone.' He said, 'You got a pencil? Write this down. This is Daniel Day-Lewis's cell phone. He's expecting your call.' Leo had gone to bat for me and had called Daniel on the telephone and got Daniel and I together. Everything at that point started really moving quickly."

Whoa, wait: Spielberg "wasn't able to re-approach" Daniel Day Lewis because he "tried to approach Daniel on another screenplay"? In response to which DDL was (let's imagine) so turned off by the initial project that he decided to refuse Spielberg's subsequent calls? And the all-powerful Spielberg wanted to offer the Lincoln role to DDL but was unable to get his cell phone number? DDL thought he might fail in trying to portray Abraham Lincoln, etc. I've read that. But I don't believe DDL would tell his assistant, "If Spielberg calls, I'm not in." Bullshit.

Update: "The Spielberg/Day-Lewis story has been everywhere," a friend days. "They both it in detail at a q & a at the Bruin, and Day-Lewis completely concurred. In fact, they really told much more about it including how when DDL finally accepted the Lincoln role Spielberg couldn't even speak, so he put the phone down for a few until he could compose himself." Wells response: I still don't believe DDL wouldn't take Spielberg's calls and/or that Spielberg couldn't get his cell phone #.

DiCaprio to fly out of Canberra on NYE party mission

A group of international celebrities will be forced to fly into Canberra very early on New Year's Day because of Sydney Airport's night curfew.

The A-list stars will be celebrating New Year's Eve in Sydney before boarding a small aircraft to Canberra where a jumbo jet will take them directly to Las Vegas in time for New Year's Eve there.

It is believed Leonardo DiCaprio is among the movie stars wanting to take part in two New Year celebrations in one 'night'.

DiCaprio is in Sydney travelling with Jonah Hill and Jamie Foxx who are the co-stars in his two upcoming movies Django Unchained and The Wolf of Wall Street.

The group also includes Chace Crawford from Gossip Girl, Matthew Morrison from Glee, Colton Haynes from Teen Wolf, Entourage's Kevin Connolly, and DJs Dirty South and Samantha Ronson.

The party has been brought to the country as celebrity guests of Sydney's Star City Casino.

Canberra Airport managing director Stephen Byron says the capital's curfew-free status will allow the 747 to take off between 1:00am and 2:00am AEDT.

"We've always said Canberra Airport's got a key role as an overflow for Sydney in terms of this night time activity," he said.

"A lot of it would be 747 freighters but in this case the 747 freight is A-list celebrities and that's pretty exciting too."

thanks for updates,girls! :wave:

that Spielberg/DDL story is quite confusing,kinda difficult to imagine,he didn't have his number,but to be honest,when I first read that story then,I got it as Steven could't make Daniel agree to play that role,and Leo was the one who did that,I mean, imho the main problem wasn't getting DDL's cell phone number, problem was that DDL wasn't going to play Lincoln for some reasons... at least that's how I see that story :idk:

Osa

I ,also, don't think the 'reshoot' story is accurate , as we know he can't be filming a visual scene due to his no longer blond/Gatsby hair .

And if he had to do a voiceover surely that could be done in a studio either in New York or L.A.

Like Avaia , I think Leo was invited to spend the New Year there because of his connection to Star , when he was filming Gatsby, as well as , his connection to Noah Tepperberg ( man behind Marquee nightclubs ) who is ,also, over there helping their new Marquee club ( located in Star casino) ring in New Year .

Valentine

As to DDL/Spielberg/Leo , I agree with Sic's comment . The issue never was that Spielberg didn't have access to DDL's cellphone

As the bottom of the article states, in an interview DDL himself concurred with what Spielberg had said about Leo connection to accepting the role.

Tks for Leo/Canberra/Vegas article :)

Tks for Jackson/Letterman vid :)
