Leonardo DiCaprio in Talks to Star in Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Nightmare Alley’ (EXCLUSIVE)

Leonardo DiCaprio is in negotiations to star in Fox Searchlight’s “Nightmare Alley,” Guillermo del Toro’s follow-up to his Oscar-winning film “The Shape of Water.”

 

Del Toro will direct the pic and co-wrote the script with Kim Morgan. “Nightmare Alley” is being produced and financed by del Toro and J. Miles Dale with TSG Entertainment, with Fox Searchlight acquiring worldwide distribution rights to the film

.

While there is a 1947 Fox pic, this film will be more based on the William Lindsay Gresham novel of the same name. The 1947 movie starred Tyrone Power as an ambitious young con-man who teams up with a female psychiatrist who is even more corrupt than he is. At first, they enjoy success fleecing people with their mentalist act, but then she turns the table on him, out-manipulating the manipulator.

 

The film shoots this fall as del Toro fills out the remaining roles.

 

After “The Shape of Water” went on to win several Oscars, including best picture and best director for del Toro, the auteur decided to hold off on picking his next directing gig, only focusing his efforts as a producer on the Searchlight movie “Antlers.”

YES! I'am sooo happy!    Thanks for the confirmation from Variety, ox. I'am already soo curious to know the female lead. Margot Robbie again perhaps? I wouldn't mind, hahaha...   

 

[BarbieErin]

I found this today, I made a screenshot of this stories saying a new and full trailer for Once is coming very very soon.

 

 

 

So I went to look at the guy IG and he's a film producer/film editor... I guess he know what he's talking about, hopefully it's really an accurate info. This below is just to show his IG account.   But don't spoil the endgame, lol.

Now this is unexpected and awesome!!!

 

What about Kate Winslet for the female lead? I mean it's about time for those two... no? Plus I get the feeling Kate needed a movie like this at this point in her career very badly Another reunion I would like to see is with Amy Adams.

 

Don't know why but I would LOVE to see Leo with Lupita Nyong'o. She's so fuck!ng good

 

There are plenty actresses I would like to see with Leo (these are coming to my mind right now):

RACHEL MCADAMS!!!

Charlize Theron

Lily James

Jessica Chastain

Natalie Portman

Keira Knightley

Emily Blunt

Nicole Kidman

Rose Byrne

Rosamund Pike

Jennifer Lawrence

Gal Gadot

Rooney Mara

 

But please, not Margot Robbie again! Sorry @BarbieErin Though I love her!

[Jade Bahr]

 Del Toro wasn't the only one trying to win Leo for his next project

Honestly I can't believe he choosed del Toro over Paul Thomas Anderson (it's the 2nd time right? #boogie nights), but I kinda liked it... #less obvious

 

LOL

 

Most people seem thrilled:

Tks for information about  that Leo  was ,also, considering scripts from Inaritu  & Anderson.    Needless to say, I'm sure many an actor would love to be in Leo's position to have those choices before them 

 

We read before that he would love to work with  Guillermo , but I ,also, wonder how much the type of character he would play /  or when  the film would shoot factored in his decision

 

As to the actresses you listed,   my  3 top choices for female psychiatrist would be    Jessica Chastain,  Charlize Theron,  Rosamund Pike 

 

 

Barbie

 

Gosh  it feels like Christmas has come early.   First we get the great news that Leo will be filming with Del Toro this fall, and then you bring us news that a full Once trailer is soon to be released,  tks for news,  I can't wait   

 

[Leo lover]

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWTHANKS A MILLION beautiful Leo lovers for the great exciting updates 

 

Jade

As to the actresses you listed,   my  3 top choices for female psychiatrist would be  Charlize Theron,   Jennifer Lawrence & Keira Knightley.

[BarbieErin]

Hum, soo many actresses I would like to see working with Leo.  Yes, jade, we know Kate Winslet would be great. 

 

Here goes my list: Charlize Theron, Rachel McAdams, Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman, Jennifer Lawrence, Lupita Nyong'o (HELL YES), Léa Seydoux, Laura Harrier (just because she's absolutely gorgeous), Emma Stone, Amy Adams again (yes too), Emmy Rossum (just because I never forgot this pics below, haha). And sorry jade but first choice is still Margot Robbie.   

 

 

And just for the laugh...     I love the Riri theories.   

 

Catch him if you can! Seventeen years after Leonardo DiCaprio played a smooth operating criminal for Steven Spielberg, he’s turning confidence man once again for Guillermo del Toro in Nightmare Alley. The movie, based on the novel of the same name by William Lindsay Gresham, will be a remake of a 1947 film about a con artist who teams up with a psychiatrist, and she is an even more masterful manipulator than he is. But what starts as a fruitful criminal partnership takes a turn when she scams DiCaprio’s professional scammer. In addition to directing, del Toro has co-written the script with Kim Morgan, according to Variety. 

The psychiatrist role is yet to be filled, so Rihanna should be expecting a text any minute now.

Leonardo DiCaprio Reportedly Passed On Paul Thomas Anderson & Alejandro González Iñárritu To Work With Del

When you’re Leonardo DiCaprio, you have choices in life. In your personal life, you can choose what model you’d like to be with on any given day. You have enough money to choose to do a little or as much work as you’d like. You can choose to devote your life to climate change education, if you so desire. And obviously, you can choose which filmmaker you’d like to work with, as just about everyone out there is keen to have you on their next project.According to Borys Kit from THR, that’s exactly what happened with DiCaprio recently. The Oscar-winning actor had three projects to choose from, all from incredible directors. And as we reported earlier, he appears to have made a choice, working with Guillermo del Toro on “Nightmare Alley.” But who are the unlikely folks that didn’t land DiCaprio? Well, none other than Paul Thomas Anderson and Alejandro González Iñárritu.

That sound you hear is thousands of other actors pulling their hair out and screaming at the sky in frustration. But hey, when you’re DiCaprio, you have choices.

 

As you already know, DiCaprio is coming off of working with Quentin Tarantino on “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” which is easily one of the most anticipated titles of 2019. Before that, he took some time to enjoy life after winning his Oscar for “The Revenant.” And now, it appears that he has the biggest names in Hollywood, once again, knocking down his door

 

hat being said, the side-effect of knowing that DiCaprio turned down Anderson and Iñárritu is the knowledge that both are actively working on new films and seem to be close to nailing down a leading man. Of course, given the wildly eclectic filmographies from both acclaimed directors, knowing that DiCaprio was in the mix doesn’t tell us anything about what type of film we can expect. Only that one of the biggest actors in the world was seriously considering both.

 

Ultimately, in the war for DiCaprio, GDT beat out his buddy Iñárritu and the beloved PTA. Not an easy accomplishment

I wonder if that film editor/producer mean that OUATIH full trailer is going to play before Avangers: endgame in theater? Because that would be very very soon, I sure hope so. 

 

Thanks for the article, ox. 

[SexyLeo91]

This is so awesome, y'all, regarding the new film news! Thanks so much ox, Jade and Barbie for the longer trailer (yes!) info and new project!

 

LOL I want to be his leading lady, but all of this sounds really great.

[Jade Bahr]

I like the Leo and Charlize combo more and more (great pics, they look gorgoeus together, holy shit)

 

@BarbieErin: Great names on your list. How could I forget Léa Seydoux? Love her Emmy Rossum is for sure beautiful (I'm always wondering why she isn't more successful?) and it seems there is some chemistry with Leo Had to google  Laura Harrier, to quote you hell yes!!!

 

Thanks for the updates, girls

[BarbieErin]

Yes, also don't know why Emmy is not more sucessful? she's so bautiful and talented, I fell in love with her when I saw The Phanton of the Opera, and Léa Seydoux is just  .  I only knew about Laura Harrier when I saw BlacKkKlansman and thought to myself: who is that gorgeous girl? And yeah, Leo and Charlize look perfect together!

EW article about Once  with another great Leo & Brad pix

 

 

 

Quote

The first thing you need to know about Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood is that it is not a Charles Manson-murders movie, according to producer David Heyman.

 

“That’s one of the big misconceptions to clarify,” he tells EW. As part of EW’s Summer Movie Preview, Heyman and producer Shannon McIntosh, who’s worked with Tarantino for more than two decades, cleared up some mystery around the plot of Tarantino’s anticipated movie and teased some intriguing details.

 

Set in 1969, Once Upon a Time brings together Leonardo DiCaprio as fading Western TV star Rick Dalton and Brad Pitt as his stunt double Cliff Booth, two friends navigating an industry and era in flux, painstakingly re-created on location in Los Angeles by Tarantino. But Charles Manson and his deadly cult do play an important role in the film; Australian actor Damon Herriman plays the infamous cult leader, while Margaret Qualley, Dakota Fanning, and Lena Dunham play members of his Manson Family.

 

“It’s about the loss of innocence that came about in 1969 with the Manson family,” explains McIntosh. There’s the starry Margot Robbie as It Girl and eventual 
Manson-family victim Sharon Tate, who lives next door to Rick. “It’s the three classes of Hollywood,” says Heyman. “There’s the high Hollywood of Sharon, the declining star of Rick, and there’s Cliff, who lives farther out and with more humble means.”

 

But first thing’s first — pairing DiCaprio and Pitt together for the first time in a feature is one of the biggest draws of the project. For McIntosh, who worked with Pitt on Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds and DiCaprio on Django Unchained, bringing the two together finally was “absolutely magnetic.”

 

“I can’t wait for the world to see Brad’s performance in this,” she says. “He’s so wonderful and charismatic and I think he is the Brad that people fell in love with years ago. Especially when he’s going toe-to-toe with Leo, his performance is amazing, he looks great and I think people will be reminded why he is the movie star that we know he is.”i

And there’s an interesting dynamic between the two characters, Heyman explains. DiCaprio’s Rick Dalton is “not the movie star that he had hoped to be, so he’s struggling — he’s a working actor, but he’s not a movie star.” On the flip side, Pitt’s Cliff is “at ease, and comfortable with who he is” as Dalton’s stuntman.

“These are two people who have a history together and the loyalty that they have for one another is really potent,” Heyman says. “It’s really a film about that friendship and about the power of that friendship as they go on their journeys together and separately.”

And then there’s Robbie as the beautiful Tate. “[Sharon Tate] has been mythologized in some way through the murders but we get to see her as a person and we get to see her delight and enthusiasm and her sweetness,” Heyman explains. “She represents an innocence and innocence lost in some way, and that innocence is very much — that sweetness, that goodness, that delight with the movies, with her, with her life — is something that we experience.”

 

The role was prepared very carefully by both Tarantino and Robbie, who had the blessing of Tate’s sister Debra Tate. McIntosh said Robbie “wanted to honor Sharon’s memory and she really drilled down to make sure that she got the best performance and was really embracing all that Sharon was.”

 

She added that Tarantino “absolutely embraced Debra Tate, and that was very important to him and to us that she’d be comfortable with what we’re doing because obviously anyone thinking that we’re making it a Manson movie, which we’re not, but he was very sensitive to that and remains sensitive to that.”

But there’s also change afoot in 1969, a year that marked a major transition in Hollywood as it was shifting out of the Golden Age and with the expansion of television, into new, uncharted territory. For Rick and Cliff, it means a time for personal transformation as well.

 

“They’re going to have to reinvent themselves, and the extent to which they are able to will determine their futures. What I love about this, it’s just so singularly told because it’s Quentin Tarantino turning his eye on his hometown. Nobody else could have made this film,” Heyman says.

 

Los Angeles has always been home turf for Tarantino, and majorly featured in his first three films; Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and Jackie Brown. But since then, he has traveled to further regions in his subsequent tales and it has taken Tarantino until this, his ninth film, to explore the Los Angeles of his childhood (he was 6 years old when the movie takes place) and the industry that so inspired him that he’s known to be a walking film encyclopedia.

 

“This is Quentin’s most personal film,” Heyman explains. “This is his memories of growing up in Los Angeles and being a fan of Hollywood.”

 

To transport audiences back to the Los Angeles of his childhood, Tarantino and his team transformed many of the city’s iconic locations on Hollywood Boulevard to their 1969 versions. There’s the renowned Grauman’s Chinese Theaters, the Aquarius Theatre on Sunset Blvd, and Sherman Oaks’ classic Mexican restaurant hangout Casa Vega. And there’s L.A.’s airport LAX, which Heyman quipped that they didn’t have to do much with as its 1969 self still pretty much exists today (and the airport’s renovations were held off until the film was done shooting, McIntosh added).

 

There’s also the music — the producers didn’t want to give away the magic of Tarantino’s soundtrack, but McIntosh said that KHJ, the radio station that dominated Los Angeles in 1969, and Boss Radio’s Boss Angeles will feature prominently as the characters travel through the story.

 

All of this culminates not only in Tarantino’s most personal film, but also his most moving one, Heyman says. It has his trademark sharp humor and style, but it’s “really moving, because it’s such a personal story,” the producer explains, drawing comparisons to Alfonso Cuaron’s Oscar-winning movie Roma.

 

Tarantino is deep into finishing the film for its July 26 release, but there have been discussions about whether it’ll debut at Cannes next month, 25 years after Pulp Fiction won the Palme d’Or, putting Tarantino on the map.

 

“We’re going to see if it’s ready,” Heyman says. “I know films are being announced, we have a little bit more time to decide. If we can get it ready, we will go. We’d like to go, of course, but at the same time, the film’s got to be all that it can be.”

 

Consider our appetite sufficiently whetted for Tarantino’s romp through the Hollywood of his memories.
