Another role for Leo

This is going to be the year of Leo. Leonardo DiCaprio is in talk to star in yet another film. He is currently getting ready to start filming "Revolutionary Road" with his "Titanic" co-star Kate Winslet. Now he is in talks to star in the Warner Bros. adaptation of David Ignatius' novel "Body of Lies." The movie will be directed by Ridley Scott and will re team Leo and Screen Writer William Monahan, who worked on "The Departed." The movie is about a CIA agent who is sent to Amman to work with Jordan's chief intelligent agent in order to find an Al Queda member who is planning an attack on America. These are two huge movies for DiCaprio, I bet we seem him on the Oscar stage once again.

Wahlbergs new role

Mark Wahlberg is on a role. After his success with "The Departed" and his newly released film "The Shooter" he is getting ready to take on another film role. He has been set to star in the new M. Night Shyamalan thriller "The Happening." The film is about a man who runs with his family after a natural crisis threatens to end the world. This movie is set to start filming in August in Philadelphia where Shyamalan films most of his movies. It is set to be released on the perfect day of June 13,2008 which is Friday the 13th. Everyone has misconceptions of Friday the 13th and Shyamalan thought it would be the perfect day to release his new thriller.

Pitt and Murphy disappointment at the Oscars

Brad Pitt bailed on Sunday nights Academy awards. With a nomination for "Babel" for best picture and a nomination for " The Departed" which he helped produce, everyone wondered why he was a no show. Even though he was not personally nominated for an award everyone wondered why he did not come to the awards to support his movies and his fellow nominees. Apparently he was in New Orleans filming his new movie " The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." His co-star in this new F. Scott Fitzgerald remake Cate Blanchett was at the awards so it makes you wonder why he did not show. Maybe after all of the comments made about him and wife Angelina Jolie at the Golden Globes made him not want to make another public appearance.

Eddie Murphy was on hand to support his movie "Dreamgirls." He was nominated for best supporting actor, when he lost to Alan Arkin for "Little Miss Sunshine" Murphy was very upset. After the award was given out Eddie Murphy apparently left the his seat and never returned to the ceremony. He was so mad that he did not even bother to show up to any of the after parties. I thought he would stay and support his co-star Jennifer Hudson.
