DiCaprio Finds Love with Clooney and Scorsese

After his breakup with Bar Refaeli, Leonardo DiCaprio turned his focus to new projects. Martin Scorsese is going to team up with DiCaprio for the fourth time to film the 1950's crime thriller, "Shutter Island": "Based on a novel by Denis Lehane, the movie will see the Titanic star play a federal agent investigating the disappearance of a female killer from a prison-hospital set on an island off the coast of Boston. As DiCaprio's character uncovers the strange going-ons at the jail, he begins to fear for his life, as a hurricane hits the island, inciting a riot among inmates. " Variety reports the Shutter Island script "quickly drew [in] both director and star", adding that "a deal is expected to fall into place quickly." Another collaboration? This time he better win an Oscar. I personally think Leonardo DiCaprio is long over due for one. And it gets even better. Leonardo DiCaprio is also set to work with George Clooney in "Farragut North". George Clooney will direct the movie. Here's more: "Named after the Washington Metro station located near many lobbyists' offices, the play follows a young, idealistic communications director who works for an inspiring, though unorthodox, presidential candidate. During the campaign, his career is done in by more seasoned politicos who thrive on poisonous partisan politics, dirty tricks and back-stabbing." I like the fact that more celebrities are becoming politically charged in their works, arts, and charitable outlooks. Clooney and DiCaprio have proved over and over again that they are actually interested in politics and charitable organizations. I have nothing bad to say about this. Today has been very slow.
