Christian Bale on Acting: “Throughout filming there’s like, I love it, then, I can’t stand it, it feels like the most stupid thing ever”

There are few roles that Oscar winner Christian Bale can’t or won’t do… and he’s shown such intense dedication to his work that it might seem he’s crossing the line into insanity. He’s dropped weight dramatically (The Machinist), gained weight dramatically (American Hustle), ruined his good looks (The Fighter), and

Leonardo DiCaprio on ‘The Great Gatsby’: “It’s intimidating … because you’re almost setting yourself up for disaster”

I’m feeling incredibly ambivalent about Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby because it is adapted from my all-time favorite book. While I’m happy to see the book get even more recognition, I’m not crazy about the cast, the soundtrack (I didn’t know there was so much hip hop in the 1920s), that it was shot half a world away from where it takes place, and the simple fact that no adaptation of The Great Gatsby has ever been able to capture the wild spirit of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel.

Leonardo DiCaprio: “When I can’t immediately define the character, and there’s an element of mystery to it and still a lot to be explored, that’s when I say yes”

Clint Eastwood’s films always come with great expectations — he is one of the few filmmakers who seems to always get magnificent reviews — but the expectations for Eastwood’s J. Edgar might be even more anticipated than usual since the film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, an actor with a reputation for appearing in excellent films himself.
