Leonardo DiCaprio To Star In Yet Another Action Movie
People are starting to believe that Leonardo DiCaprio owns a check-list of important subjects that need to be made into films, in which case we’re looking forward to the Leonardo DiCaprio movie about Moira Stewart being too old to read the news any more. In the meantime, though, we’ll have to be happy with Leonardo DiCaprio’s most recently announced movie role, in Body Of Lies, a Ridley Scott, directed adventure.
Somehow, in between saving the world from certain destruction and beating up Jews, Leonardo DiCaprio will have to find time to star in all sorts of films. There’s the Leonardo DiCaprio Bourne Identity rip-off to make, and the Leonardo DiCaprio blinking film, not to mention various Leonardo DiCaprio films about destroying Enron and wolves on Wall Street and Titanic 2: The Unrelentingly Depressing Years and now Leonardo DiCaprio is going to be making Body Of Lies with Ridley Scott.
Although Body Of Lies sounds like the sort of late-night erotic thriller that Movies 24 would go crazy for, it’s actually a serious drama about one man’s quest to hunt down an Al Qaeda suspect before it’s too late. E! Online reports that the three-time Oscar nominee is in talks to star in the post-9-11 spy thriller Body of Lies, playing a journalist turned CIA agent who travels to Jordan to track an Al Qaeda leader said to be planning an attack on U.S. soil.
Phew, with Tom Cruise helping to kill Hitler in the past and now Leonardo DiCaprio stopping terrorists in the present, at least we’ll all be able to rest easy knowing that only giant mutated rats from the future who live on the sun can destroy mankind now.
