Mendes grabs yet another TITANIC cast member for REVOLUTIONARY ROAD!!

Published at:  Apr 24, 2007 2:18:50 AM CDT

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet are set to reteam for Winslet's hubby, Sam Mendes, and now they'll be joined by the unsinkable Molly Brown herself... Kathy Bates.

Also joining up are Michael Shannon (BUG, WORLD TRADE CENTER), David Harbour and Zoe Kazan.

Bates will play Mrs. Givings (nice name heh), the lady who sells Winslet and DiCaprio their house and introduces them to the neighborhood. Shannon plays her son and Harbour a neighbor. Kazan is DiCaprio's secretary... who cause some marital problems.

    Sam Mendes.

    by gilkuliehe

    He's a very good director, I hope the script is good. He can do wonders with those... I really like his two first films not so much the third... But he deserves all the credit in the world for making that GODDESS Winslet to fall for him. That lucky son of a bitch. I salute you, sir.

    by wadi77

    I don't think I can watch this movie without reminding me of Jack & Rose. I mean, I will not be absorb into their "new" characters without thinking "she let you die, Jack." If that happens, the movie will fail.

    MAYBE you didn't like Mendes' direction in it, but are you saying that Ball's script, and Bening and Spacey's acting was also lacking to you? That's a fantastic movie.

    Finally the prequel we've been waiting for. We know that the iceberg destroyed the ship, but what happened in it's past that made it want to?

    You can drop the exclamation points off that title.

    Just slapping exclamation points on a boring story doesn't make it more interesting.

    That said, is there any movie AICN *won't* cover these days? Is *every* movie supposed to be cool? This site's genre origins are long gone. Sigh.

    You guys forgot Bernard Hill!

    by sledge hammer

    He was the captain of the damn ship after all. Of course he did captain it right into a giant fucking iceberg, but still. Anyway he could play the old guy who makes a tragic mistake, because, you know, he's never played a role like that before...You also forgot Victor Garber and Frances Fisher, Gloria Stuart too if she's not dead yet.For shame fuckers, for shame!
