Director Baz Luhrmann’s splashy modernization of the William Shakespeare classic ‘Romeo and Juliet’ was a hit with critics and tweens alike in 1996. Besides being visually stunning, ‘William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet’ featured a few of today’s brightest stars before they had hit it big. See what the cast is up to these days below. [...]

'The Great Gatsby' Review

Jordan Hoffman — Tue, 07 May 2013 12:44:15 +0000

Well, you did it Baz Luhrmann. Even with an enormous budget, outrageous costumes, beautiful actors, native 3D and a camera that can fly around and do just about anything, you still made watching ‘The Great Gatsby‘ just as boring as sitting through 8th period English. To be fair, reading ‘The Great Gatsby’ isn’t boring. In [...]

'The Great Gatsby' Shows Off in Style in Seven New Clips

Damon Houx — Wed, 01 May 2013 00:00:52 +0000

It's nearly the summer season (at least for movies), so it's surprising how quiet 'The Great Gatsby' has been in selling itself. Sure, it's going to be opening the Cannes film festival, but it's not being sold as a tentpole summer event picture. Regardless, the film has released seven new clips to get us excited.

Jacob Hall — Sun, 31 Mar 2013 14:27:16 +0000

A new series of 'The Great Gatsby' posters showcases exactly how you make a novel first published in 1925 (and frequently forced upon high school students) appealing to mass audiences: you fill it with as many stars as humanly possible.

Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel.

Leonardo DiCaprio's Jack Nicholson Impression Is a Little Too Good — Dead Ringers

Nick Romano — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 20:45:53 +0000

Leonardo DiCaprio wowed Japanese audiences during a video interview for 'Django Unchained.' No, he didn't reduce them to giggles with some crazy behind-the-scenes story or anything of that nature. Instead he was asked if he could pull off any celebrity impressions, which led to his incredible transformation into the devilish-looking Jack Nicholson.

Is Leonardo DiCaprio Taking a Break From Acting?

Jacob Hall — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 02:03:52 +0000

There are few actors as hardworking and reliably great as Leonardo DiCaprio and there are fewer with such discerning taste. After all, not every actor out there has managed to work with James Cameron, Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan, Sam Mendes, Ridley Scott, Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese. Filmmakers, audiences and critics alike all seem to love him with equal fervor...which means the news that he's taking a break from acting is enough to make us a little sad.

'Django Unchained' Featurette Makes the Case for Leonardo DiCaprio's Performance

Damon Houx — Fri, 28 Dec 2012 23:18:27 +0000

Though the film came out a couple days ago, Quentin Tarantino's 'Django Unchained' is going to have to make some tough decisions for its Oscar campaign ahead.

'The Great Gatsby' Trailer: Leonardo DiCaprio is the Man

Damon Houx — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 01:08:59 +0000

If things went according to plan, Baz Luhrmann's 'The Great Gatsby' would be hitting theaters next week on Christmas Day, and we might be having a conversation about how Leonardo DiCaprio could be up for both the Best Actor and Supporting Actor Oscar.

'Django Unchained' Review

Matt Singer — Wed, 12 Dec 2012 04:50:26 +0000

His name is Django and as he's quick to point out, the D is silent. It's just about the only quiet part of Quentin Tarantino's 'Django Unchained,' a boisterous, bloody blaxploitation/Western hybrid. What else would you expect from Tarantino, the modern master of genre pastiche, flavorful dialogue, and grossly exaggerated violence? Whatever 'Django''s issues -- and it has a couple -- failing to deliver on its promises isn't one of them. If anything, the issue is the exact opposite.

Evan Saathoff — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 20:04:43 +0000

Nick Romano — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 13:45:47 +0000

Just two weeks after we got a look at the second official 'Django Unchained' trailer, here comes one from overseas... or should we say "Candyland"?

Way Back When: Leonardo DiCaprio

Britt Hayes — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 13:55:44 +0000

Sure, we all remember young Leonardo DiCaprio in 'Titanic' and 'Romeo + Juliet,' but before that he earned a living with much smaller parts on TV and one particularly awful horror sequel. In today's Way Back When, we'll introduce you to a younger DiCaprio, back before you were taping posters of him to your walls.

Britt Hayes — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 23:20:32 +0000

Leonardo DiCaprio and Warner Bros. Drop 'Imitation Game'

Jacob Hall — Sat, 18 Aug 2012 20:58:00 +0000

The story of Alan Turing is amazing. Seriously. One of the most brilliant and tragic figures of the 20th century, Turing's story is loaded with cinematic potential. It's the kind of role that'll win an actor the Best Actor Oscar and the kind of story that'll nab the Best Picture Oscar. With the right ingredients, it's a surefire great movie. Which is why it's baffling that Leonardo DiCaprio and Warner Bros. are dropping their plans to film 'Imitation Game.'

Comic-Con 2012: 'Django Unchained' Panel

Mike Sampson — Sat, 14 Jul 2012 14:30:53 +0000

Looks like Quentin Tarantino's upcoming 'Django Unchained' is big enough to get its own own panel inside Comic-Con 2012's Hall H, which previously housed large panels by Disney, Sony and 'The Walking Dead,' to name just a few.

Melissa Molina — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 17:25:51 +0000

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel ‘The Great Gatsby‘ has been translated onto film and television a number of times.

The film – which stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton and Isla Fisher – [...]

'Django Unchained' Gives Us a New Look at an Evil Leonardo DiCaprio

Sean O'Connell — Mon, 25 Jun 2012 15:10:47 +0000

The trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Django Unchained’ showed us something we haven’t seen before: A sadistic side of Leonardo DiCaprio. Oh, we’ve see DiCaprio unhinged before. Scorsese taps into an animalistic side of the Oscar-nominated actor at regular intervals. (Rent ‘Shutter Island’ or ‘Gangs of New York’ for examples.) But the Leo on display in Tarantino’s film is … different. He’s crazy. And he’s loving it.

Nick Romano — Mon, 25 Jun 2012 14:18:41 +0000

‘Django Unchained‘ has a new international trailer and after watching this, if you’re like us, then Christmas can’t get here fast enough.

A Closer Look at the 'Django Unchained' Trailer

Jacob Hall — Sat, 09 Jun 2012 20:42:02 +0000

The trailer for 'Django Unchained' is magnificent. Any film by Quentin Tarantino is a reason for movie fans to celebrate, but a Quentin Tarantino movie about a freed slave turned bounty hunter who goes after the scumbags who stole his wife? Let's get in line right now. Seriously. Let's do it. Since we're so impatient for a film that's still six months away, we took a frame-by-frame look through the trailer.

'The Great Gatsby' Teams With Brooks Brothers to Show You How to Steal DiCaprio's Swag

Nick Romano — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 16:13:35 +0000

As quickly as style-conscious men (including all of those documented in Morgan Spurlock's crazy new documentary 'Mansome') devoured 'Mad Men' for its overabundance of striped bow ties and fedoras, so too are they going after 'The Great Gatsby.' It turns out, though, that men don't have to look too far to copy Leonardo DiCaprio's suave swagger because it all came from Brooks Brothers.
