Leonardo DiCaprio worked with the majority of Hollywood’s leading directors by now, and Paul Thomas Anderson is the next one in line! The Oscar winner will star alongside Sean Penn and Regina Hall in PTA’s next film for Warner Bros.

Not much is known about the plot of this film, but Deadline dropped some major hints about it in their initial report. This project will have a contemporary setting and a larger budget than all of Anderson’s previous works, which is reportedly approaching $100 million.

It’s also been reported this film will be a large ensemble piece, in the vein of Anderson’s previous hit movies Boogie Nights and Magnolia. DiCaprio, Hall, and Penn will lead the way, but they’ll be joined by a big ensemble, and the cast is still shaping up.

This untitled film marks the follow-up to Anderson’s Licorice Pizza, and he’s also set to produce it alongside Sara Murphy and Adam Somner, in addition to directing and writing the script.

DiCaprio is fresh off starring in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon just last year, for which he received nominations for many prestigious awards, including the Golden Globe. Hall last appeared in Netflix’s buddy comedy Me Time, while Penn starred in Black Flies, Daddio, and Gonzo Girl throughout 2023.

The collaboration between Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese is a gift that keeps on giving and they already have their next project lined up. One of Hollywood’s most acclaimed power duos will reteam in the upcoming survival drama The Wager.

Just like their next film Killers of the Flower, this project is based on David Grann’s non-fiction book, titled The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny, and Murder. The book is due out in April 2023 and Apple Original Films landed the rights for the film adaptation.

The action is set in the 1740s and it centers on a captain and his crew following a shipwreck on a desolate island off the coast of Brazil. In addition to struggling to survive one of the most extreme climates on the planet, they also had to battle their own human natures to make it out alive.

If everything goes according to plan, The Wager will mark the seventh collaboration between DiCaprio and Scorsese. They recently joined forces for the western crime drama Killers of the Flower Moon, set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival next year. In addition to DiCaprio, its cast also includes Robert De Niro, Jesse Plemons, Lily Gladstone, and Brendan Fraser.

Cannes Film Festival will kick off on May 14, welcoming some of our favorite directors who are gearing up to share their new movies with the world. We’re bringing you five most exciting projects set to be unveiled at this prestigious event.

Portrait of a Lady on Fire

One of our favorite French directors Céline Sciamma is coming back to Cannes with her first period drama, and we can’t wait to see her breaking out of her comfort zone.

The Dead Don’t Die

Zombie genre is alive and well thanks to Jim Jarmusch, who is set to open this year’s festival with his star-studded comedy with Bill Murray and Adam Driver in lead roles.

A Hidden Life

Terrence Malick is coming back to Cannes with this intriguing World War II drama, eight years after winning Palme d’Or for his polarizing masterpiece The Tree of Life.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

There’s a lot of hype surrounding Quentin Tarantino’s take on final days of Hollywood’s golden age, but that’s bound to happen when you cast Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt as your leads.

The Lighthouse

Robert Eggers impressed the critics with his directorial debut The Witch, and we can’t wait to see if he’ll manage to do the same with this black and white horror, starring Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson.

After a lot of speculations surrounding the world premiere of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, it’s been confirmed that Quentin Tarantino’s latest film is coming to the Cannes Film Festival.

The festival’s director, Thierry Frémaux, announced the news in an official press release, and it was clear he couldn’t be more delighted to welcome Tarantino back.

“We were afraid the film would not be ready, as it wouldn’t be released until late July, but Quentin Tarantino, who has not left the editing room in four months, is a real, loyal and punctual child of Cannes,” said Frémaux.

This prestigious festival holds a special place in Tarantino’s heart, and it’s the most fitting spot for the world premiere of his latest film. After all, Cannes was the place where he won Palme d’Or for his cult classic Pulp Fiction exactly 25 years ago.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood will also be a part of the main competition, but regular movie-goers will have to wait until July 26 to see it in the theaters. The star-studded cast of this epic includes the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Margot Robbie.

Leonardo DiCaprio worked with some of the most renowned directors in Hollywood, and it seems he’s getting ready to add another name to the list. Oscar-winning actor will reportedly star in Guillermo del Toro’s new movie Nightmare Alley.

This promising project tells the story of a corrupt conman who joins forces with an equally mischievous female psychiatrist. Their elaborate scheme eventually goes sideways after this femme fatale proves to be an even more masterful manipulator than her partner in crime.

Nightmare Alley is based on William Lindsay Gresham novel of the same name, and it already spawned one successful adaptation back in 1947. Instead of making a direct remake of this classic, Del Toro intends to offer his own take on Gresham’s intriguing book.

DiCaprio is in negotiations to portray an ambitious conman Stanton Carlisle, but he’s yet to officially accept the part. Oscar-winner has always been extremely picky when it comes to his roles, and we haven’t seen him on the big screen ever since The Revenant. He’ll finally make a comeback this year in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, alongside Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie.

Quentin Tarantino managed to round out one of the most impressive ensembles for his next film Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, and we finally know what they’ve been working on. The first trailer for this highly-anticipated project is here, and it will take you straight to the height of hippie Hollywood.

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood has been described as the story of a faded TV actor and his stunt double, striving to achieve fame and success in the film industry during the final years of Hollywood’s Golden Age in 1969 Los Angeles.

The two lead characters just happen to be next-door neighbors of Sharon Tate, a young actress who made headlines after she was killed in the Manson murders. Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Margot Robbie will play the lead roles in this intriguing film, that’s been in the back of Tarantino’s mind for as long as he can remember.

“I’ve been working on this script for five years, as well as living in Los Angeles County most of my life, including in 1969, when I was seven years old. I’m very excited to tell this story of an L.A. and a Hollywood that don’t exist anymore,” explained famous director.

It’s impossible to imagine anyone but Leonardo DiCaprio playing the role of Jack Dawson, but things could’ve played out differently.

McConaughey just revealed he was one of the actors who audition to play the lead in Titanic, and he still regrets not getting the part. McConaughey said he audition with Kate Winslet, and he was sure he nailed it after leaving the room.

He was pretty confident he’ll get the role, but James Cameron never called back. “I didn’t get it. I never got offered that. And as I’ve said before not even half-jokingly if it’s true if that was an offer and it didn’t come to me, I’ve got to go back and go, ‘I’ve got to meet in an alley with that agent,'” said the actor.

Matthew McConaughey probably wasn’t too bitter about it after starring alongside DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street and seeing how great of an actor he is. Ironically, they were both nominated for Academy Award for Best Actor that year, and McConaughey ended up scoring the win thanks to his amazing turn in Dallas Buyers Club.

According to Gus Van Sant, two Hollywood A-listers did not want to saddle up and star in Brokeback Mountain. 

Van Sant who was originally considered to direct the 2006 drama revealed in an interview with IndieWire that both Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt passed on the film. 

“Nobody wanted to do it,” he said. “I was working on it, and I felt like we needed a really strong cast, like a famous cast. That wasn’t working out. I asked the usual suspects: Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Ryan Phillippe. They all said no.”

This revelation was confirmed by the film’s producer and screenwriter Diana Ossana who, in an email to IndieWire wrote, “Yes, all those young gentlemen (at the time) turned down the project, for various reasons.”

The film that chronicles the agony-filled love story of two modern cowboys, what a huge hit and turned out it be a truly groundbreaking LGBTQ film. It earned eight Oscars nominations (the most of any film that year) including best actor and best supporting actor for Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, respectively.

As for Van Sant not directing the film, he added, “I was not ready. I’m not sure why. There was just sort of a hiccup on my part. There was something off with myself, I guess, whatever was going on.”

“I’ve been working on this script for five years, as well as living in Los Angeles County most of my life, including in 1969, when I was seven years old. I’m very excited to tell this story of an L.A. and a Hollywood that don’t exist anymore,” explained famous director.

It’s impossible to imagine anyone but Leonardo DiCaprio playing the role of Jack Dawson, but things could’ve played out differently.

McConaughey just revealed he was one of the actors who audition to play the lead in Titanic, and he still regrets not getting the part. McConaughey said he audition with Kate Winslet, and he was sure he nailed it after leaving the room.

He was pretty confident he’ll get the role, but James Cameron never called back. “I didn’t get it. I never got offered that. And as I’ve said before not even half-jokingly if it’s true if that was an offer and it didn’t come to me, I’ve got to go back and go, ‘I’ve got to meet in an alley with that agent,'” said the actor.

Matthew McConaughey probably wasn’t too bitter about it after starring alongside DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street and seeing how great of an actor he is. Ironically, they were both nominated for Academy Award for Best Actor that year, and McConaughey ended up scoring the win thanks to his amazing turn in Dallas Buyers Club.

According to Gus Van Sant, two Hollywood A-listers did not want to saddle up and star in Brokeback Mountain. 

Van Sant who was originally considered to direct the 2006 drama revealed in an interview with IndieWire that both Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt passed on the film. 

“Nobody wanted to do it,” he said. “I was working on it, and I felt like we needed a really strong cast, like a famous cast. That wasn’t working out. I asked the usual suspects: Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Ryan Phillippe. They all said no.”

This revelation was confirmed by the film’s producer and screenwriter Diana Ossana who, in an email to IndieWire wrote, “Yes, all those young gentlemen (at the time) turned down the project, for various reasons.”

The film that chronicles the agony-filled love story of two modern cowboys, what a huge hit and turned out it be a truly groundbreaking LGBTQ film. It earned eight Oscars nominations (the most of any film that year) including best actor and best supporting actor for Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, respectively.

As for Van Sant not directing the film, he added, “I was not ready. I’m not sure why. There was just sort of a hiccup on my part. There was something off with myself, I guess, whatever was going on.”
