Found this lurking on youtube, the audience reaction in the opening scene is hysterical, too cool.    I read in the comments that was filmed from a theatre in India.

One more fave scene for me, this scene along with the Rolling Stones song Out of Time was soo perfect, I'm soo addicted to that song since I saw the movie the first time. I absolutely loved that whole scene.

Millie is still gushing over Leo

And: According to THR Leo was never in talks to play the Joker.

Those Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio Joker Rumors Have Finally Been Put To Rest

According to THR, Scorsese was attached as an executive producer in the film’s early stages, and even considered it a “potential directing vehicle.” Scorsese’s team denied the report, insisting that he was only ever interested in producing.

 

That’s not the only rumor that’s put to bed in THR’s report. We also learn that early speculation that Scorsese’s involvement was originally meant as a tool to entice Leonardo DiCaprio to star in the film is also false. According to THR’s multiple sources, Phoenix was the only actor ever considered for the role of Joker.

 

The report comes at an interesting time, after last week’s uproar following Scorsese’s comments that he doesn’t consider Marvel movies real “cinema.” If that is indeed the case, it’s hard to imagine the auteur ever considering directing a movie that while deeply grounded in reality, is still a comic book movie at heart. Regardless, all parties involved ultimately walked away with a big fat W. Phillips has one of the biggest hits of the year on his hands, Phoenix will likely walk away with some major hardware by year’s end, as will Scorsese, who’s upcoming gangster epic The Irishman is poised to make major noise come Oscar time. And Leo, well, Leo’s Leo.

thanks for the article jade.

 

Maybe Leo should thank Paul Rudd on becaming a huge movie star, hehe.     Somtimes I think that without Titanic Leo could be one of those actors we think like: Oh, I know that actor but don't know his name...  For sure Titanic made him a movie star but obviously the talent was always there and I do think he would be sucessful anyway, but probably with much less chances to choose what he really wanted to do and guide his own career. But for me Titanic is far from my faves Leo movies, still I recognize the power of this movie, that made both Leo and Kate careers as how they are today, so I'm sure Leo is thankful and all the fans too.

 

Titanic was undoubtedly the film that catapulted Leonardo DiCaprio from indie actor to international superstar, but there was a point where he wasn't too sure whether to take the role. That is until a certain ageless man stepped in.

As shown on The Graham Norton Show last night, Paul Rudd looks back on a time that may have had a huge impact on Leonardo DiCaprio's career.

He begins on the topic by speaking to Robert De Niro about him mentoring a young Leo as a 14-year-old. De Niro says that he spotted that Leo had a huge talent from a young age, before Graham turns to Paul Rudd, as someone else who had a 'huge influence' on DiCaprio's career.

 

Paul Rudd said: "I don't think I had an influence, but sometimes, looking back you find yourself in some interesting conversations and moments in time.

"I worked with Leonardo on Romeo and Juliet and at the time, my father made his living as a Titanic expert and he used to take people all over the world talking about Titanic - he'd go to universities, etc.

"It was my last day of filming Romeo + Juliet and we all went out to a bar afterward, all the guys.

"We were in different cars and I was riding to the place with Leo and he said 'I just got offered this movie, a big movie - he had done indie films up until this point.

 

"It's a studio movie, it's Titanic and I said 'that's incredible', and I knew a lot about Titanic because my dad just talks about it.

"And we just had a conversation about it, and he was saying 'I don't know what I'll do and I said 'you should do it'."

So there we have it, without the encouragement from the son of an expert, Leo may have been in a very different situation.

Rudd added: "I don't think I had any say, but it is kind of interesting to think back on that."

Graham replied: "Yeah, there was a moment when he might not have done it."

To which Rudd jokes: "And he did it!"

Of course, the 1998 film is one of the most well known of all time and the production team considered a few different A listers for the role of Jack - meaning it is really lucky that Leonardo grabbed the chance when he could.

According to an interview with Kate Winslet, she also said that Matthew McConaughey auditioned with her for the part - and nearly took it. Thankfully for Leo, the Jack Dawson role was all his.

I always have the feeling people think that he isn't grateful or proud of Titanic because he barely speaks about it but yeah I think he is very aware of the opportunities and power he got with this movie about his career.

[BarbieErin]

I agree jade, just because he doesn't mention the movie often that doesn't mean  he doesn't anockledge what the movie made for his career. I think sometimes he might get sick of the Jack jokes because that was 22 years ago... still, I think he's VERY grateful!

Paul Rudd speaking one more time about Leo:

Paul Rudd Knows He Can't Compete With Brad Pitt for Roles

 

Paul Rudd seems to have found his place in Hollywood.

 

The 50-year-old actor appears to have had a moment of clarity after seeing Brad Pitt's performance in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

 

"I thought, my God, what a movie star, just so cool," he tells The New York Times in an interview published Tuesday. "[Leonardo DiCaprio]'s no slouch either!"

Thanks Jade, Barbie and ox for the latest posts!

 

It’s nice seeing Leo out having a good time and seeing his beautiful face, too 

 

I think it’s amazing how Leo took risks in his career after Titanic because he could have easily slid into formulaic, digestible films, when he became an international superstar; and yet, he didn’t. So awesome

 

[Jade Bahr]

I think one of the main reasons he said yes to making Titanic was the possibility to have the power about his career. I mean of course he couldn't know how big it would be in the end (Leo mania etc pe pe) but Leo never was stupid. He knew he needed some huge blockbuster success to have the control about his future - well at least partially.

 

But he never went the easy way, I agree with that. It always seems so easy for him, but I think most of his movies are big financial risks, no matter what some people say, he would never take any risks with his choices of roles and movies.
