The phenomenal onscreen couple
is back, at last. Yes, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet will stand together
again in one frame for the first time after their appearance in James Cameron's
1997 mega-hit work "Titanic."
Variety has reported that the twosome has signed on to be the leadstars in
"Revolutionary Road", which will be produced under DreamWorks Pictures banner.
Winslet's husband Sam Mendes is on duty to direct as well as produce alongside
John N. Hart, Scott Rudin, and Bobby Cohen in association with BBC Films.
Presenting a theme of post-war disillusionment, the picture is actually an
adaptation of Richard Yates' acclaimed 1961 novel of the same title, which
centers on a seemingly happy suburban couple in the mid-1950s who find
themselves caught between their true desires and the pressure to conform -- with
explosive consequences. Filming will begin this summer using an adapted
screenplay by "The Clearing" scribe Justin Haythe.
