Ridley Scott and Leonardo DiCaprio Embrace THE LOW DWELLER!!
Merrick here...
Ridley Scott and Leonardo DiCaprio are reuniting for THE LOW DWELLER (I smell a title change coming on). Ridley and Leo recently completed BODY OF LIES. Seems DiCaprio will produce DWELLER alongside Scott, and star in the film. Scott is considering directing the project.
Set in Indiana in the mid-1980s, the movie centers on a man (DiCaprio) trying to assimilate into society after he's released from jail, only to find someone from his past pursuing him to settle a score. In addition to the pursuer, a third male character and a female love interest are said to figure prominently in the script.
...says THIS ARTICLE in Hollywood Reporter.
There's an interesting/very cool angle to this project...it's written by an insurance salesman who has never set foot in Hollywood (according to the article). More power to him...check out the piece for more details.

...can be great, but to hear it described it sounds just like every other movie you ever saw in you life. Then again, so did A History of Violence...
-
...without either of these two announcing yet another new project.
-
YAWN
-
That is all.
-
Ridley Scott is a replicant and American Gangster is prescribed for sleep deprivation.
-
I'm curious to see what they do, but it doesn't sound all that different from a lot of other crime movies.
-
I really wish he would do something sci-fi again.
-
The guy's proven his worth time and time again. You're just jealous 'cause he's pretty.
-
Cardboard cutout of Michael Jordan > Leonardo DiCaprio
-
...when is SCORSESE gonna do a sci-fi? I want to see him take a Howard Hawksian crack at all the major genres before it's too late.
-
You are an idiot if thats what you think. The Departed, Catch me if you Can, Romeo + Juliet, Blood Diamond.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME??
This dude has more than proven himself. -
That flick sounds great. Dicaprio and Crowe? Neato. Hopefully AICN gets some screener reports before it premieres in October...
-
Seriously... he's terrible.
-
This sounds like Oscar material!
-
seems to be more and more of 80s set things nowadays. before it used to be all for 70s retro tarantino stuff. Now it's American Psycho late 80s, Napoleon Dynamite mid-80s, No Country For Old Men 1980, and now this. it's the 80s do a lotta coke and vote for ronald reagan yeah!

Sir Ridley directed: American Gangster, Matchstick Men, Black Hawk Down, Gladiator, G.I. Jane, Thelma & Louise, Black Rain, Legend, Alien, and yes, Blade Runner
-
...Because hes not terrible. Hes pretty good, just often miscast. However hes a big ass name whose willing to throw his weight behind projects that other stars may not be as enthusiastic about.
-
HE'S A GREAT ACTOR
-
And definitely worth posting 6 times.
-
Woulda been ever better in ALL CAPS with another score of title spam.
-
about movies or filmmaking if you seriously think either Ridley Scott or Leonardo Di Caprio suck. Go back to your video games.
-
still one of the best directors around hands down.
-
with Nicholson and the guy from 12 Monkeys.
-
Gladiator as best picture for it's production and scale and everything else...Soderbergh for director for the uniqueness of his vision, his visual style, and amazing pacing in a complicated story like Traffic.makes sense to me...and if you think Traffic is preachy, you really missed the point. it was a direct response to the preachy, "just say no" mentality of so much of america. an attempt to show how complicated the drug issue is, and how there is no black and white answer to it. it was not "look at bad drugs, don't do bad drugs!" it was not preachy.
-
And all this Di Caprio hatred is purely cause of titanic. Look what he's done before and after and if he really wanted to he could've cashed in on titanic by doing romcoms and voices for pixar. Pretty much every film he's done since shite-anic has been aimed at the adult market not all those young girlies that had posters of him on his wall. Either case he's better than "Maaaaaaaat Daaaaaaammmmoooooonnnn."
-
like the best film Scott's gonna direct next. Awesome.
-
I'm not a professional critic or anything, but that was some good acting there. The scene where he's begging his mother to open the apt. door? Preaty heavy shit. I can understand the Shia Le Bu-fu critics, but I think DiCaprio has proven he's the real deal.

mea culpa

I was certain Ridley was directing Cormac McCarthy's magnum opus, Blood Meridian. I suppose this will come afterwards, in 2010. No big surprise. Scott has kept himself busy these past eight years.
