Actually to quickly comment on a prior poster -- I'm inclined to think that Dicaprio is most definitely NOT calling the shots on this one, it being a SCORCESE picture. Sure, Leo is big in Hollywood, but we're talkin' Uncle Marty here.... NOW THEN - does anybody know what that temp score is from, used in the 2nd half of this trailer? Thanks
Why only 2/3 the image? by Undead03	Nov 14th, 2004 04:44:23 PM
It's a 2.35:1 film. Why is the trailer only in 1.66:1? THAT SUCKS.
Another Howard Hughes-based film film... by Johnny Smith	Nov 14th, 2004 05:20:44 PM
...that barely gets any play is one of Max Ophuls's American films, CAUGHT. Check it out if you can find a copy -- good stuff.
Robert Richardson lighting, Michael Mann producing, and Scorsese by Fuckles	Nov 14th, 2004 05:42:22 PM
I'm sold. Good trailer, too. The only thing that worries me is that this was penned by John Logan who also wrote "Star Trek: Nemesis," by far the worst film of 2002. Hopefully he either redeemed himself or Scorsese had a hand in some major rewrites. I'm betting on the latter. Either way, I'll be there opening night.

Cate Blanchett as Katherine Hepburn?!?! That alone is enough to sell me on this flick. The trailer looks 'way good. We'll see if the film lives up to it. Hughes is one of those legends whose rise and fall begs for an epic treatment. The flying scences alone could be stupendous. And I, too, would like to know what the temp music is in the 2nd half of the trailer.*****BTW-- Harry, I'm BEGGING you-- PLEASE don't use that pool/bra/man-breast animation again-- it's giving me nightmares....
Johnny Depp should have played this role. by Batutta	Nov 14th, 2004 08:40:24 PM
The trailer does look good though. Scorsese doesn't have the greatest track record with period pieces but this is a 'descent into mental breakdown' story, which he does better than anyone (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas). Here's hoping...And that chick in the carpetbaggers poster is a hot ball of fuck.
Leo doesn't have enough hair on his ass for this role by bonkers	Nov 14th, 2004 09:57:39 PM
Sorry, i don't buy it; DiCaprio sounds like a 16 year-old trying to imitate one of the true badasses of the 20th century. It doesn't fly.

The trailer music is from LOVE ACTUALLY.
Thelma Schoonmaker... by workshed	Nov 15th, 2004 09:43:23 AM
...don't know if she's working on this but Scorcese is lost without her discipline. For example... the scene in Gangs of New York where Jim Broadbent and Dan Day-Lewis are discussing the future of NYC and the tension is building beautifully and then suddenly CUT to Leonardo emoting wildly over a crucifix and then CUT back to the previous scene. Totally unrelated and unnecessary and something that wouldn't have occured pre-Goodfellas. My fingers are always crossed for Marty but somehow the influence of Michael Powell seems to be diminishing in favour of MTV. Fuckshitwanker.
Eddie Dmytryk was one of my profs in film school... by Carson Dyle	Nov 15th, 2004 12:55:21 PM
Dmytryk was a fanatic on the subject of Hughes. I suspect it may have had something to do with the fact that they both had first hand experience with the HUAC. "The Carpetbaggers" was one of Eddie's favorite projects. By no means a great movie, but lots of fun if you're at all interested in the Hughes legend.
Does anyone remember the Hughes TV biopic from the 70's starring by Carson Dyle	Nov 15th, 2004 01:02:44 PM
I don't remember too much about it except Jones's performance, which was amazing. He was PERFECTLY cast. I'm looking forward to Scorsese's take on Hughes, but I must admit DiCaprio seems like a strange choice for the lead.
Good call on The Carpetbaggers, Harry! by gigaloff	Nov 16th, 2004 02:41:52 PM
I saw that movie on TV a couple of years ago and liked it a lot. Lightweight drama with lotsa pathos. Very cool, esp. Peppard.
