Leonardo DiCaprio - (Please Read First Post Prior to Posting)

[BarbieErin]

Really cool article about filming Once and Q&A that happened this afternoon. 

 

One of the most memorable moments in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood is Rick Dalton's (played by Leonardo DiCaprio) frantic meltdown in his trailer after he forgets his lines while shooting a pilot for western series Lancer. As it turns out, that scene was not in the original script, and was added by Quentin Tarantino at DiCaprio's behest. 

The star told the writer-director, "I need to fuck up during the Lancer sequence, and when I fuck up during the Lancer sequence, I need to have a real crisis of conscious about it and I have to come back from it in some way," Tarantino remembered at a post-screening Q&A in Los Angeles on Sunday. "My response was, 'You're going to fuck up my Lancer sequence?! That's my western! I get two-for-one in this movie, I snuck a western in here while no one was fucking looking!'"

To appease both parties, Tarantino shot the scene both with the forgotten lines and without, deciding that "with the fuck up, it was just so amazing that of course we were going to use it," and then went about crafting the trailer tantrum, deciding to mostly leave it up to DiCaprio to improvise. The director wanted to do three continuous takes with DiCaprio in crisis, and planned to cut together the best bits ⁠— he threw out topics to his star but DiCaprio was left to do the rest. For example, Tarantino would say, "Get pissed off about Jim Stacy," and DiCaprio would respond, "Oh that fucking Jim Stacy, just sitting up there watching me, thinking he's so fucking hot, he wouldn't be a wrangler on my show." He director laughed remembering, "the cutest part was how nervous he was to do it, I've never seen him so nervous."

For those like me curious about Leo's new ring... mystery solved, it's a pay ring.     Besides acting, the only way Leo would wear a ring on the wedding finger, lmao.     I know wrong hand, but I'm just kidding.

so, please explain how anyone, or even everyone being hypocrites changes the fact that we are all destroying this planet that we need in order to live, and we all should simply stop it? doesn't matter if he is a hypocrite, at least he's not trying to distract everyone from truth and reality, like you are.

 

 

And just because an idea is not 100% implemented, it's no less correct. No one is more criticized than those who already do a lot. How about to start with yourself, instead of waiting for others and/or put them down???

Thanks ox, Jade and Barbie for all the posts! I gotta catch up on these, and cool pay ring .  Can't wait to check the Q&A stuff out.

 

Leo does a lot for our environment, and he walks the walk. As far as using fossil fuel, etc., we've built this (meaning this is all we really know and were brought up with), so everyone is a hypocrite.

A more detailed article about the Q&A. Here Leo parts. 

 

DiCaprio honed in on several actors in particular — and, eventually, one more specifically — as models for his character. Tarantino: “I didn’t base Rick Dalton off of one actor. I based him off about five different actors. … A lot of this stuff I was showing Leo, he was really seeing it for the first time and didn’t know who these people were per se, so it was really interesting to get his honest reaction to them. I mean, if you talk to me about Ed ‘Kookie’ Burns, I come with a whole lineage of who Edd ‘Cookie’ Byrnes is. He doesn’t know who the f— he is! So he watches ‘Secret Invasion,’ and I go, wow, Leonardo DiCaprio really liked Edd Burns in ‘Secret Invasion,’ that’s really groovy. That was an honest reaction without any baggage.”

 

DiCaprio: “I kind of keyed in on three guys: Ty Hardin, Edd Byrnes and Ralph Meeker. And once we honed in on Ralph Meeker, I started obsessively watching his work, because there was a vulnerability and sensitivity to him, and a sort of pathos in his work, that I felt Rick had the potential to emulate in his own career. … What kind of actor he could become was the biggest question for me. And I think we both mutually decided that yeah, there is a depth to Rick’s work, and applying himself and digging deep, he can give a great performance.”

 

 

DiCaprio spent so much time shooting scenes apart from Pitt’s and Robbie’s characters that he was surprised seeing them in the finished film. “We were almost all going to do our separate little independent movies,” said DiCaprio. “Like, I went off to the sort of ‘Lancer’ set for a few months, and Margot and Brad would go do their thing. … I just love the tapestry of what Quentin created with all three of these characters and how they intersected.” But, he admitted, “I had no idea (Pitt’s Cliff) was going to be this incredibly charismatic, Alain Delon type of character.”

 

DiCaprio added that he believes the added moments of flagrant, angry insecurity “became a very universal thing, not only for actors, (but others, too) who’ve been in that position and have those voices of doubt within all of us.”

 

 

With all the legends on the set, DiCaprio was maybe most in awe of… Luke Perry. Moderator Jim Hemphill mentioned that DiCaprio had worked with everyone from Al Pacino to Perry on the film. And guess which one of those two the actor leaped to talk about? “Honestly, as soon as I saw Luke on the set ,I was brought back to my teenage past and felt starstruck,” DiCaprio said. “I remember being a young actor and he was television’s James Dean figure, the guy that everyone was crazy about. It was honestly this feeling of anxiety before I got to talk with him. Even my friend who’s named Vinnie who was on the set that day said: ‘Holy shit, it’s Luke Perry!’ I got to finally sit down and talk with him, and man, he couldn’t have been a gentler soul. He was so giving, and there was a purity and an honesty to him in talking about the industry and where his career was at and a gratefulness to be on that set working with Quentin. … It was a fantastic moment getting to spend the day with him and getting to know him, and it was obviously tragic and sad news when we heard what happened.”

 

DiCaprio did come around to that Pacino guy, eventually. When Hemphill asked about the Musso & Frank’s scene, DiCaprio indicated that there was a lot more to it than seen in the final cut, and that he hopes the outtakes emerge someday. He and Pacino actually spend months bonding. “There was a lot more in that sequence, because really Al sets up my entire career, and gives people an entire tapestry of what happened to me and what my destiny is. The essence of it is still there… I got to rehearse with Al at my house and his place for months beforehand, because we had these long sequences together. And then it was just a magical moment (on the set) — one on one with Al Pacino, almost three weeks that we were there doing these monologues. Someday we’ll see them see the light of day, because there was some great stuff there.”
