Leonardo DiCaprio doesn't make as many films as other actors. I think his next film will be The Aviator about the life of Howard Hughes. I really want to see this movie when it comes out.

I really don't like him..I'm going to see The Aviator just for Gwen Stefani.

But The Basketball Diaries was a really good movie.

I want to see that movie too. I'm really interested in seeing Cate Blanchett's portrayal of Katharine Hepburn.

Does anyone know if Katherine Hepburn was ever engaged to Howard Hughes? Just wondering...

As for Leo I heard he's engaged to that model.

The Howard Hughes boipic is an ambitious project. I hope Leo is able to pull off the roll.

According to Katharine Hepburns autobiography, Howard Hughes wanted to marry her but she had no interest in marrying anyone at that time.

I think I heard a while ago about Jim Carrey doing either a Howard Hughes or Abe Lincoln thing- on hsx.com- then again, hsx.com publish every rumoured movie.

As for this, I don't know how it'll do- it's really rare now that you see a brilliant biopic. I wonder if they'll do a sequel- when most people hear Howard Hughes they think of the last years of his life spent as a recluse.

I think Leonardo DiCaprio is an enormous talent, and this was evident early on. He was nominated, at the age of 19, for a Best Supporting Oscar for What's Eating Gilbert Grape?

Leonardo has delivered incredible, heartwrenching performances in Gilbert Grape, Basketball Diaries, This Boy's Life and Marvin's Room.
There were also two great turns in Catch Me If You Can and The Gangs of New York....and Titanic of course. Even if you don't care for the movie, it's the biggest moneymaker of all time.

Even movies that I didn't care for were worth watching for his presence alone. This guy can act.

I think he's one of the best young actors in movies today. He can handle the most demanding acting roles. Playing Howard Hughes will be a cakewalk for him.

One of my favorite movies with Leo is The man with the Iron Mask. He was fantastic in this role.
