Queen of the World

Her spirits sank after her Titanic success, but now a soaring Kate Winslet is

Queen of the World

For millions of people, Kate Winslet will forever be the woman standing on the bow of the Titanic with Leonardo DiCaprio, her arms spread in exultation. But even as she was starring in one of the big screen’s greatest love stories — and Titanic was becoming the most popular movie in history — Winslet was suffering through a personal romantic tragedy that would change her life.
“Looking back, I see what I was dealing with when Titanic came out”, Winslet says. “I had a lot of pain, and I was confused about who I was.”

Route 8 closes for DiCaprio, Winslet movie filming

The stars from Titanic are making a splash in Beacon Falls with filming for their new movie, but it will mean detours for drivers tonight on Route 8.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet are filming scenes for their upcoming movie Revolutionary Road.

The movie is based on the novel by Richard Yates. It looks at “a young couple living in a Connecticut suburb during the mid-1950s (struggling) to come to terms with their personal problems while trying to raise their two children”, according to a plot outline on IMDB.com.

There will be a bit of a traffic detour because of shooting. State police say Route 8 between Exits 23 and 24 will be closed from 7:00 p.m. tonight until 5:00 a.m. Friday.

Kirk Jones (Waking Ned Devine) is attached to direct. He wrote the script. It’s one of my dearest pieces of material. (Jones) is an unbelievable filmmaker. He doesn’t make (as many) movies as the audience would prefer. He’s very precise about what he wants to do. He turns down many, many things.

“A couple of years ago we decided to develop this material. We have a fantastic cast, which includes (Robert) De Niro and Kate Winslet and probably (will include other stars). I mean, we’re in the middle of casting, so those things are subject to every negotiation. De Niro and Winslet had a fantastic read through of the script with the director. They loved the material and we’re working on putting it together. De Niro and Winslet definitely want to make this movie.” […]
