Leonardo DiCaprio will star in the Ridley Scott-directed adaptation of the new David Ignatius novel, Body of Lies. The movie will reunite DiCaprio with screenwriter William Monahan, who also penned The Departed. The story is about an ex-journalist-turned CIA agent (DiCaprio) who’s sent to Amman to work with Jordan’s intelligence chief to track an Al Qaeda leader rumored to be planning attacks against America. This will be the third Middle East-set project Monahan has scripted for Scott, following Kingdom of Heaven and Tripoli, which hasn’t yet been made. DiCaprio is set to begin shooting Lies in the fall, after wrapping Revolutionary Road, the Sam Mendes-directed DreamWorks drama that reunites him with Titanic star Kate Winslet. DiCaprio and Monahan are also working together on the remake of the Hong Kong thriller Confessions of Pain for Warner Bros. Pictures.

He will be on the cover of Vanity Fair’s next “Green Issue”.  You can sorta see the cover, but more importantly, you can see HIM!

Leonardo DiCaprio will star in the Martin Scorsese-directed The Wolf of Wall Street for Warner Bros. Pictures, with The Sopranos writer Terence Winter penning the script. The project is an adaptation of Jordan Belfort’s upcoming autobiography, which tells the story of how the Long Island stockbroker, to be played by DiCaprio, served 20 months in prison for refusing to cooperate in a 1990s securities fraud case that involved widespread corruption on Wall Street and in the corporate banking world, including mob infiltration. The book publishes in September. The movie deal closed on Friday (March 23) after a brief bidding war between Warner and DiCaprio’s Appian Way production company and Paramount and Brad Pitt’s Plan B. It is not yet known when Scorsese is scheduled to begin work on Wolf. He currently is developing, and may direct, The Long Play, a rock ‘n’ roll epic to be penned by Departed writer William Monahan, as well as an adaptation of Eric Jager’s book Last Duel: A True Story of Crime, and is said to be eyeing an adaptation of Brian Selznick’s children’s novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret. DiCaprio just signed on to star alongside Kate Winslet in an adaptation of Richard Yates’ Revolutionary Road.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet are teaming for the first time since Titanic to star in DreamWorks’ Revolutionary Road, reports Variety.Sam Mendes will direct the movie, based on the acclaimed 1961 novel by Richard Yates about post-war disillusionment.

John N. Hart, Scott Rudin, Bobby Cohen and Mendes, who’s married to Winslet, will produce in association with BBC Films.

Yates’ heart-rending and bleak book, celebrated for its storytelling style, follows a seemingly happy suburban couple with two children in the mid-1950s who find themselves caught between their true desires and the pressure to conform — with explosive consequences.

Mendes begins filming this summer from an adapted screenplay by writer Justin Haythe. Paramount Pictures has worldwide rights.

Leonardo DiCaprio is so smitten with British TV presenter Cat Deeley he’s dubbed U.K. women the “loveliest in the world.” The actor, whose relationship with Israeli swimsuit model Bar Rafaeli is reportedly on the rocks, was thrilled to meet the 30-year-old beauty when she was filming hit TV talent show “So You Think You Can Dance” in Los Angeles last year.

He already has plenty of experience with English beauties - he’s appeared on screen alongside Kate Winslet and Kate Beckinsale in the past - but it’s Deeley who’s stolen his heart.

He gushes, “Cat’s lovely. But then most English girls are. This country churns out some of the loveliest women in the world.”

Rumour has it Leonardo DiCaprio had a spat with his model girlfriend Bar Rafaeli via cellphone . DiCaprio, who was in London for the premiere of Blood Diamond, was spotted at club Aura, the UK’s Mirror reported. “His friends were having a good time but Leo just sat there looking really glum and texting all night,” a source said. “Then as they were leaving, Leo’s phone rang and he started having a heated conversation.” A pal of the actor told the Mirror, “He was really into Bar in the beginning but now he’s kinda getting to the end of his tether. He finds her really clingy and being apart because of work causes rows.”
