Again
Hitfix’s Greg Ellwood reported today that during a Los Angeles Inception interview Leonard DiCaprio said (a) he’s definitely “hard at work” on a J. Edgar Hoover biopic with director Clint Eastwood, but that (b) he won’t wear a dress, in line with rumors that Hoover was a gay cross-dresser.
“Will I wear a dress? Not as of yet,” DiCaprio said in answer to a question on the subject. “No, we haven’t done the fitting for those. So, I don’t think so.”
On 4.3.10 I wrote that that I’d read “most of Lance Black‘s J. Edgar Hoover script, and I haven’t come upon a scene calling for DiCaprio to wear lace stockings and pumps and a cocktail dress, so we’re safe on that score.”
Yeah, fine – Eastwood, DiCaprio, Oscar nominations, blah blah blah. When’s he gonna do that bloody Viking epic with Mel Gibson, though? That’s what the people want to see!
(And by “the people,” I mean me.)

Yeah, there’s no such scene in the script. Was never going to happen.

I guess Leo wants to put his debut where he played a guy who sucks dick for coke behind him.

DeeZee: I still think he’s looking for his breakout role.

Only marginally related, but thought someone might find this interesting.
For whatever OCD reason, throughout the mid 90s through the mid 00s, I saved all my movie magazines. Even throwaways like EW and Movielines.
No idea why I have them, since they couldn’t be worth 10 cents… but amusing to occasionally leaf through one, especially the COMING SOON type sections where they talk about projects in development. Projects which 9 times out of 10 never happened.
I cracked open a 1998 Movieline the other day with Drew Barrymore on the cover. In said section, there was a “Next up from Phillip Noyce– his long-awaited remake of THE SEARCHERS called THE TRAIL!!!” Then a spiel about the hot new project SPACE COWBOYS, set to star… Harrison Ford.
But then it talked about THE hottest script in town, a project that apparently was passing from CAMERON to FINCHER to Nick Cassavetes to Schumacher….
Called THE CROWDED ROOM, which was about to go before the cameras, starring Leo as a guy with 24 personalities… directed by Danny DeVito,
Obviously this never happened, but where do these projects go? If anyone collects old movie magazines, it’s a trip leafing through and checking out all these awesome sounding movies that stalled out. Surprised this town EVER needs new scripts, since there must be millions of these perfectly solid “hot new scripts” that still haven’t been made.

Lex: I grew up in England, so used to collect Empire and Total Film. Both had great retro “In Development” sections. The best one was that Martin Scorsese Rat Pack biopic featuring Tom Hanks as Dean Martin.

Just tweeted this too, but I’m cracking up at all these 1998-era profiles on RISING STARS! NEXT BIG THINGS!
Yeah, STAR OF TOMORROW… Milli Avatali. Brendan Sexton III. Maria Pittilo. Loren Dean.

Oops… Avital. Why didn’t that one catch on? She was SMOKIN’ in that Jason Lee-David Schwimmer movie.

HAHA, Lex – I just googled Loren Dean and his second entry is a Tripod site. The early days of the internet were aces. I remember thinking Devon Sawa, Neve Campbell and Norman Reedus* would be big stars.
* = DeeZee still believes he will be.

Did Leo suck dick for coke in Critters 3? Or This Boy’s Life? Because he was the lead in both of those movies, you fucking dolt. And since you clearly don’t watch movies, I’ll interrupt you right now and say THIS BOYS LIFE WAS RELEASED TO THEATER’S AND MADE MONEY.
Wells, YOU HAVE TO USE A SYSTEM OF COMMENTARY WHERE YOUR READERS CAN “MUTE” OTHER READERS. Please, I beg of you. Because this guy is going to be the death of me, and he is going to be following you until the day you are no longer able to type.
DeeZee is going to be your Rupert Pupkin. One day after a festival screening, you’re going to come home and take the gigantic placeholding cowboy hat off your bed and there he’ll be, crazy-eyed and covered in cocaine, waiting to wear your flesh like Leatherface-meets-Mr. Ripley.
Please.
I beg of you. LOOK INTO YOUR HEART.

Devon Sawa finally did hit it big, but only after he changed his name to Jeremy Renner.
Speaking him, what’s that awful titty movie with Sawa, Jason Segal and James King, where Laura Prepon spends the whole movie masturbating? Really awful movie other than COOL ETHAN. Totally blanking on the title.
Anyway, the THIRD DUDE in that movie was some redhaired douche who was in EVERYTHING back then, then totally disappeared from show business, way, way moreso than Sawa.

Lex, do you remember DEAD MAN’S CURVE? The quintessential late ’90s film. Starring Matthew Lillard, Michael Vartan and Keri Russell. I loved that movie on the two occasions that I rented it from Blockbuster Video (LOL). The guy who wrote/directed it, who clearly fancied himself as a Kevin Williamson type, has never been seen again.

Lex: SLACKERS? Not the Richard Linklater one.

SLACKERS! Ha! Amazing that I remember COOL ETHAN but not the name of the movie (also had a Diaz cameo for some inexplicable reason….)
Never saw, but certainly remember, “Dead Man’s Curve.” Somehow in my mind it blends with “Very Bad Things” and the not-so-immortal “Dead Man on Campus,” which I saw in a THEATER. Apparently you can never see enough Lochlyn Munro or Tom Everett Scott. Even though he was in “The Pallbearer” back then too, kinda hard for me to believe VARTAN POWER has been around so long. That’s a dude who should be a fucking star. Guy absolutely rules, suave as hell, and if you’d have told me circa 2001 that Bradley Cooper was gonna be the movie star from the cast of ALIAS, I’d have told you that gawky, chunky late 90s-era Christina Ricci would one day be a SMOKING hot–
Oh, wait.

Michael Vartan was a block of wood. But then again, I love MATTHEW FOX POWER, so I think we all have our J.J. Abrams love objects. I fully admit Fox will have no chance as a movie star, even though he was a really fucking excellent television leading man. Carried a show for six seasons, with his character becoming a dickhead midway through, and yet still reduced EVERYONE to tears with his central role in the final episode. It’s no mean feat, and FOX POWER should be applauded.
But yeah, VARTAN POWER had no power. Keri Russell was ace, though. I noticed that she has an eyeball slightly adrift of the other, and J.J. killed her in M:I-3 by blowing her mind up so that her eyeball went mega-mental. Was he rubbing it in? Cruel.
I once saw that WAITRESS movie starring Keri Russell. It was proper shite, but there was decent food-porn and RUSSELL POWER.
Yeah?
Crap, I need a scanner. I recently came across a 1987 issue of Premiere in which they highlighted the status of various sequels.
I’m looking at it right now; among the films “in development” – Blind Date II, Commando II, Dragnet II, Romancing the Stone III, Salvador II. And the first Star Wars prequel “won’t be out before 1992.”
