“Revolutionary Road” Movie Poster Revealed

Scope out the new movie poster for Revolutionary Road, the upcoming drama reuniting Titanic duo Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Titanic was the biggest film in box-office history back in 1997, so Leo and Kate have a lot to live up to!

According to USA Today, “Road tells the story of a young, successful couple living what appears to be a thriving life with their two children in 1950s Connecticut. But the mendacity of their suburban living sends them to France — and their relationship into a tailspin.”

The trailer debuts this Friday (tomorrow!) with Keira Knightley’s The Duchess.

Movie tidbit: Pop singer Jesse McCartney’s younger brother, Timmy, is said to star in Revolutionary Road, but his role in the film is still unknown.

Kate Winslet to play a sex fantasist!

Titanic star Kate Winslet has emerged as the favourite to play protagonist Isadora Wing of a 1973 bestseller.

Directed by Diane English, the movie is an adaptation of Erica Jong’s controversial novel “Fear of Flying” (1973).

English revealed that Winslet is the only actress currently reading the script for the movie.

“I would love to see Kate Winslet in that role,” she said.

Jong hit the headlines with the novel because it chronicles a married woman’s attempts to live out her sexual fantasies.

Kate to play Lennon’s mother?

Kate Winslet is apparently in the pipeline to play John Lennon’s mother.
The Titanic star is on a list of actresses director Sam Taylor-Wood is looking to approach for the part, according to The Daily Mail.
The film, called Nowhere Boy, will tell the story of the Beatle’s childhood, growing up with his mother and his aunt. The screenplay has been written by Matt Greenhalgh – who won a Bafta for Control, his biopic about Joy Division’s Ian Curtis – and is based on the book Imagine This: Growing Up With My Brother John Lennon by John’s sister Julia Baird.

“Titanic” couple reunited

Their epic love was giddy, passionate, unshakable – until the ship hit the iceberg and sank.

The stars of Titanic, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, share a far different love story in Revolutionary Road, playing a couple whose marriage comes undone as they seek meaning amid the stifling conformity of the 1950s.

Good pals in real life, DiCaprio and Winslet had some awkward moments in their love scenes: her husband, Revolutionary Road director Sam Mendes, was looking on and giving them pointers.

How weird was it?

Reviews: “The Fox and The Child”

Luc Jacquet’s March of the Penguins follow-up wraps lush woodland photography around a narrative about a red-headed girl (the perfectly expressive Bertille Noël-Bruneau) and the fox she befriends.

There’s an undeniable fascination about the extent of Jacquet’s construction — when a wildcat chases a fox across a film set, how does anyone get it to stop? — but otherwise the director’s Disneyfication of nature marches on; Kate Winslet’s gushy voiceover doesn’t help.
