oxford25 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Cute blog entry from the girl who did the ET Canada interview with Leo that Shirah posted Part One of above You never know what’s going to happen in NYC!I arrived in the Big Apple on Friday and checked in for the junket at the Plaza Hotel – gorgeous and opulent! The excitement that is Gatsby was building. By the evening I watched the explosive movie – one word BRILLIANT! The next morning it was time to interview the actors. So many questions, so little time! The moments were in the hallway. Before my interview with Tobey Maguire, who plays the infamous character Nick Carraway, we chatted about our kids. In the hall he came up to me and shared his photos of his children on his Blackberry, so cute! And he likes dark chocolate! It was a big surprise to see The Great Gatsby himself, Leo DiCaprio, in the hall as he walked by Baz Luhrmann’s room and took a peak inside… very cute! Great moment seeing Leo as Leo. Rillio & Shirah Tks for Tobey & Leo interviews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxford25 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Leonardo DiCaprio is living the American dreamGreat Gatsby star goes from teen sitcom star to A-listerNEW YORK — Like Jay Gatsby, Leonardo DiCaprio knows a thing or two about reinventing himself.DiCaprio made the transition from Oscar-winning teen in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape to young adult Titanic star with a blink of his baby-blue eyes.Later on, he managed to position himself as a 21st century A-list power player who could get films made by saying yes.However, it took more than a nod of approval from DiCaprio to get the green light for Baz Luhrmann’s ambitious makeover of the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, The Great Gatsby.DiCaprio’s involvement helped, but Luhrmann had to shoot the movie in his native land of Australia to reap some cost-saving benefits from the country’s cinema incentive program.Based on the results, DiCaprio said they were thrilled that they that did for a movie that’s as relevant now as the book was when it was first published in the early 1920s.“I think we can all relate to the dreamer in Gatsby,” said the 38-year-old relaxing at a refurbished suite in the Plaza Hotel. “He’s a character who created himself according to his own imagination and dreams, and he’s lifted himself from his bootstraps ... and created this image.”Opening May 10, the latest version of Gatsby is still set in 1920s New York but shot in state-of-the-art 3D. And the film features DiCaprio as a less mysterious Gatsby who becomes embroiled in the melodramatic lives of the upper class after re-connecting with the love of his life, Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan).Tobey Maguire co-stars as Nick Carraway, the narrator of the story and the observer of the reckless affairs surrounding him. Joel Edgerton plays Daisy’s philandering husband Tom while Isla Fisher portrays the tragic Myrtle Wilson.Six film and TV versions of The Great Gatsby came before the Luhrmann production; the most famous starred Robert Redford as Gatsby in the 1974 movie.That was only one of the reasons DiCaprio was initially hesitant about taking on the iconic part.“For me, this is American Shakespeare,” he said. “And this is one of the most celebrated novels of all time.”Certainly, he was comforted by the fact that he was collaborating again with his friend Luhrmann, whose hyper-real post-modern Gatsby is not as camp as Strictly Ballroom or as song-oriented as Moulin Rouge! Yet it was just as challenging.“To venture into a project of this magnitude took a core unit of trust for me to feel comfortable and it took somebody I knew for 20 years,” said DiCaprio who played Romeo in Luhrmann’s stylized Romeo + Juliet.In fact, Luhrmann had DiCaprio by his side as he developed the production from a maybe to a might and finally to a daring project with multiple collaborators. “We were a theatre company and like a theatre company it was a true collaboration,” Luhrmann said.Yet the director and leading man knew that adjustments would have to be made to connect the past to the present.“It’s a truly American story,” said DiCaprio. “Here is this emerging democracy that is America in the 1920s and (Gatsby) wants to emulate a Rockefeller but creates his wealth in the underworld.”Familiar today are Luhrmann’s subthemes depicting a financial system teetering on the brink of collapse as a party-mad subculture immerses itself in excess.“That’s why it’s not just a (period) novel,” DiCaprio said. “Fitzgerald was very much commenting on society and human nature and the great pursuit of wealth, and it’s timeless.”That was hardly DiCaprio’s perception of the story when he first read it as a 14-year-old. He said at the time that he thought of it as a yarn about a hopeless romantic lost in love.Back in those junior high days, DiCaprio was auditioning for TV commercials, then soon managed to get his first gig on the short-lived TV show Parenthood. It led to more TV appearances, including memorable guest spots on the highly rated Roseanne and Growing Pains.DiCaprio made his film debut in 1992 opposite Robert De Niro in This Boy’s Life, which was the beginning of an incredible movie career.Still, he said he never expected that a Gatsby movie would be his future, especially one filmed in Australia.“What was amazing about shooting in Australia, and recreating this whole world, was the incredible enthusiasm of all the people there,” said DiCaprio.“I think it infused us with this great energy. Every actor, besides three or four, were Australian actors and the whole crew was Australian.”So what would the great American novelist think of this latest film version of his story? The director wasn’t sure.“I don’t know what he would think of this film but he has the No. 1 selling book in America today, and I know he’d feel pretty good about that,” said Luhrmann.“And how could he know 88 years later, The Great Gatsby could be turned into a drama with a collection of the finest actors in the world playing out the book in 3D.”Read more: http://www.vancouversun.com/entertainment/celebrity/Leonardo+DiCaprio+living+American+dream/8317990/story.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter#ixzz2RzZVR1iu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calibi Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Leo, Axl make new Rat PackIt was a long night out for some of the city’s biggest A-listers, who seem to be forming a modern-day Rat Pack. Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted hanging out with Axl Rose at Catch Roof on Monday at a table along with Tobey Maguire, Jonah Hill and Michael K. Williams. “They were seated at a VIP table surrounded by tons of security,” says a spy. “They looked like a modern-day Rat Pack.” Earlier, another witness saw Rose enjoying dinner at the eatery with “a harem of ladies,” and was overheard discussing plans to, somewhat alarmingly, “buy a tiger.” After midnight, some members of the group, including Maguire and Hill, headed to Avenue, where Ray Liotta, Danny Abeckaser and a number of the cast from “The Iceman” came for the after-after- party for the film’s screening. Also at the Chelsea club were Kid Cudi and Jamie Foxx, who a spy says, “was dancing like Michael Jackson to DJ Ross One.” Another spy said Maguire and Hill, who requested hip-hop songs from the DJ all night, “had Jamie rapping along.”http://www.nypost.co...g3BlXUdKWnM7DUN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
