Leonardo DiCaprio seeks to be on a remake roll this year, after it was confirmed that he will team up with producer Martin Scorsese to star in a new version of the 1974 movie The Gambler. The Titanic star just finished work on The Great Gatsby, another remake. It seems Leo likes sticking with the tried and tested. He has already worked with Scorsese on four different movies, including The Aviator for which he won a Golden Globe in 2004. The film, about a university professor who has a gambling addiction, is being written by William Donahan, who penned The Departed – another Scorsese-DiCaprio union.
And in honor of one of DiCaprio’s latest roles in Titanic:
What was the last thing anyone said on the Titanic? ‘I know I ordered ice but this is ridiculous!’
* What sort of cake do they have for desert on the Titanic? Upside-down cake!
* What goes down well with ice? The Titanic!
* What do you get if you cross the Atlantic Ocean with the Titanic? About halfway!
* The chief designer of the Titanic had a lisp. That’s unthinkable!
* On the Titanic the captain calls a meeting of his officers:
‘I have some good news and some bad news. Which do you want to hear first?’
‘The good news’, replies an officer.
‘We’ll get eleven Oscars.’
* Titanic was about to sink.
