oxford25 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 From Variety a little news about Leo's /Da Vinci film project Quote Leonardo DiCaprio’s Da Vinci Biopic Hires James Bond Screenwriter Paramount has hired high-profile writer John Logan to adapt Walter Isaacson’s biography “Leonardo da Vinci,” with Leonardo DiCaprio playing the painter/scientist. DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson are producing through their Appian Way banner. Paramount won movie rights in August following a multi-studio bidding battle. Logan’s screen credits include “Alien: Covenant,” “Genius,” the two most recent James Bond movies “Spectre” and “Skyfall,” and a trio of scripts that received Academy Award nominations — “Gladiator,” “The Aviator,” and “Hugo.” It’s Logan’s second collaboration with DiCaprio, more than a decade after he scripted the Howard Hughes biopic “The Aviator.” DiCaprio is starring next in the untitled Quentin Tarantino movie about the Manson Family. The actor has a strong connection to the da Vinci project: he got his first name from the famous painter, as his pregnant mother was looking at a da Vinci painting in a museum in Italy when the future star kicked for the first time. Isaacson’s book, published by Simon & Schuster in October, was based on thousands of pages from da Vinci’s notebooks and focused on his passionate curiosity, careful observation, and imagination. In addition to painting the “Mona Lisa” and “The Last Supper,” he pursued studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weaponry. Logan is repped by CAA. The news was first reported by Deadline Hollywood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxford25 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Calibi Tks for more QT/Manson casting information. Speaking of Tate /Polanski neighbors I was wondering if anyone would be playing Terry Melcher ( Doris Day's son ) who was living in guest house on the Polanski property and supposedly knew Manson as did his friend & frequent visitor Dennis Wilson ( of the Beachboys ) Infact , some reports I've read claim that it was Melcher who Manson was originally looking for when he came to the property that night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calibi Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Quote Steve Stanulis — a former NYPD cop who went on to work as a stripper, a filmmaker and a celebrity bodyguard — is adding author to his résumé. Confidential reported Wednesday that Stanulis, 46, had been quietly working on a book called “Sex and the Shield,” which chronicles his brushes with crime, grime, fame and infamy. Now Stanulis confirms he indeed has written a tell-all — and it comes out Feb. 12 through Penguin publishing. One of the Staten Island native’s most memorable tales happened in 1999 when he was working as a bodyguard for Leonardo DiCaprio and they got to talking about their respective ACL injuries. According to Stanulis, who was moonlighting as a stripper at the time, he pulled down his trousers to show Leo his surgical scar and was still wearing the pink thong that he’d just worn to a bachelorette party, where he’d danced earlier that evening. “We had nothing in common, he was the biggest actor in Hollywood and I’m the stripper cop,” Stanulis said. “He started laughing and we hit it off.” http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/confidential/bodyguard-leonardo-dicaprio-kanye-west-pens-memoir-article-1.3793614 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jade Bahr Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Found this interview with Uma Thurman telling -well- not so great things about Tarantino. In view of the current climate, I don't know, maybe Leo will rethink about making that Manson movie? What do you guys think? The article: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/03/opinion/sunday/this-is-why-uma-thurman-is-angry.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SexyLeo91 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Thanks dicapriofan for the link! I'll check it out. That's a good question Jade and thanks for the article! I think Leo will still do this film because it's a great project, and I think Tarantino, in light of all of these recent events, should perhaps listen more if actors or actresses are uncomfortable with a scene. I think part of this story is a wake up call for directors to be more considerate of an actor or actress who feels uncomfortable filming a certain scene, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbieErin Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Welcome HoneyK and dicapriofan. jade: I think Leo already signed to do this movie, so I do think he will do it. As for what Tarantino did, it was absolutely wrong, but I guess he must have learned a good lesson from that. I honestly don't think this will stop the movie to be made. And this is such a great thing Leo and Kate did for this fan. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5495258/kate-winslet-leonardo-di-caprio-save-life-cancer-mum/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said I'm a bit confused about Tarantino's script. But what we know is that Leo's role is the actor that have a western show on tv and wants to do movies... and now it's reported that Leo's character will be neighbor of Sharon Tate, but his role is fictional, that's all we know until now.

I don't know much more than what I said already, sorry. I guess what I am asking you is what helped you and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
