Leonardo DiCaprio On That Nude Scene in Revolutionary Road:Kate Winslet is one of my dearest friends. We have the ultimate trust in each other and the best of intentions for what we want to do. I knew Kate before Sam [Mendes, her husband] even met her. So on the outside, it may seem strange to do a sex scene with a woman while her husband is directing. But it didn't feel that way to me. When the scene was about to start, Kate said, in front of the crew, "Wait, wait, this is totally weird." She turned to both Sam and I and said, "Are you guys okay?" We both looked at each other and said, Yeah, we're totally fine. She said, "It's even weirder that you're both totally fine."On the Night River Phoenix Died:When I was eighteen, River Phoenix was far and away my hero. Think of all those early great performances — My Own Private Idaho. Stand by Me. I always wanted to meet him. One night, I was at this Halloween party, and he passed me. He was beyond pale — he looked white. Before I got a chance to say hello, he was gone, driving off to the Viper Room, where he fell over and died. That's a lesson. Source: www.esquire.com

Check out this sneak peek from Robert Pattinson’s new movie, as it gets a little awkward for Tyler (Pattinson) and Ally (Emilie de Ravin) on their first date. Coming to theaters March 12, 2010.
"Featuring an all-star cast that includes a Golden Globe® nominated performance from Toby Maguire, Academy Award® nominee Jake Gyllenhaal (Brokeback Mountain, Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role, 2005), Academy Award® nominee Natalie Portman (Closer, Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role, 2004), Academy Award® nominee Sam Shepard (The Right Stuff, Best Actor in a Supporting Role, 1983) and Emmy® winner Mare Winningham (“George Wallace,” Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie, 1998), the explosive film Brothers arrives on DVD and Blu-ray Disc this March. Directed by six-time Academy Award® nominee Jim Sheridan (In the Name of the Father, Best Director, 1994), the film tells the compelling tale of how two brothers come to terms with issues of love, loyalty, and manhood with the woman caught between them. The DVD and Blu-ray disc contain numerous bonus materials that include two featurettes plus a director commentary. A truly riveting drama with superb performances, Brothers is a film not to be missed! A Marine about to embark on his fourth tour of duty, Sam (Maguire) is a steadfast family man married to his high school sweetheart, the aptly named Grace (Portman), with whom he has two young daughters. Tommy (Gyllenhaal), his charismatic younger brother, is a drifter just out of jail who’s always gotten by on wit and charm. He slides easily into his role as family provocateur on his first night out of prison, which is also Sam’s farewell dinner with their parents, Elsie (Winningham) and Hank Cahill (Shepard). When Sam’s Blackhawk helicopter is shot down in the mountains of Afghanistan, the worst is presumed, leaving an enormous void in the family. Tommy steps in to fill the void with consequences that will shake the foundation of the entire family.

Robert Pattinson & Emilie de Ravin Starring In: 'Remember Me' (March 12) Why We're Psyched: It may be difficult for hardcore Twihards to accept Edw... uh, Rob in a passionate relationship with anyone other than Kristen Stewart (who's currently busy with 'The Yellow Handkerchief' and 'The Runaways'), but the rest of us are psyched to see him paired with lovely Aussie de Ravin ('Lost,' 'Brick') -- and playing a mere mortal! -- in this drama about a rebellious New Yorker and the young woman who helps him overcome emotional scars from a family tragedy. Jake Gyllenhaal & Gemma Arterton Starring In: 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time' (May 28) Why We're Psyched: This fantastical video-game adaptation about a sixth-century Persian prince who must save the world from a dastardly nobleman is obviously an effects-heavy popcorn movie. That's all well and good, but what we really want to see is said prince (a buff, insanely hot-looking Gyllenhaal) trade quips and, ah, other things with Brit actress Arterton (Bond Girl from 'Quantum of Solace' who will also be seen this year in 'Clash of the Titans'), who plays his plucky -- and gorgeous -- princess companion. Talk about striking visuals...Shia LaBeouf & Carey Mulligan Starring In: 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps' (April 23) Why We're Psyched: Twenty-three years after his original 'Wall Street,' Oliver Stone brings us the sequel, once again starring Michael Douglas as corporate raider Gordon Gekko ("greed is good"), now reformed and out of jail. Major icing on the cake: Gekko's protege is engaged to his daughter, played, respectively, by LaBeouf and Best Actress Oscar-nominee Mulligan, two of the most talented young actors around. And the excellent casting has transitioned into real life: the duo are reportedly dating. James Franco & Zooey Deschanel Starring In: 'Your Highness' (Oct. 1) Why We're Psyched: Speaking of genius casting, these two equally attractive, offbeat actors are almost a sure bet, chemistry-wise, in this comic fantasy-adventure about a valiant prince who -- aided by his lazy younger brother (Danny McBride) -- must save both his kingdom and kidnapped fiancee from an evil wizard. From David Gordon Green, director of 'Pineapple Express,' which has us wondering if the new film's title is a double entendre... Jay Baruchel & Alice Eve Starring In: 'She's Out of My League' (March 12) Why We're Psyched: We're so rooting for the splendid Baruchel ('Knocked Up,' 'Tropic Thunder') to get the girl (Eve, 'Crossing Over') in this aptly named rom-com, about an average Joe who meets and romances the woman of his dreams, to the disbelief and discouragement of his family and friends. Love conquers all, right? Ryan Gosling & Kirsten Dunst Starring In: 'All Good Things' (release date TBA) Why We're Psyched: This fascinating-sounding project from Andrew Jarecki, the director who brought us the unsettling doc 'Capturing the Friedmans,' is a love story/murder mystery based on a true unsolved crime. Gosling plays a wealthy heir whose lower-class girlfriend (Dunst) inexplicably disappears. Great leads, great story ... and, yes, there have been rumors of an off-screen romance".
