Leo DiCaprio's New Online Gambling Concern
Cooper/Flynet
As celebrities go, Leonardo DiCaprio seems a safe bet.
So while you're still shuddering over the scary Shutter Island trailer, Variety reports that DiCaprio has doubled down to produce and star in a new project: a film about online casinos based in Costa Rica.
OK, maybe online gamblers—often unfairly characterized as PJs-wearing shlubs tapping away at their PCs—don't sound as sexy as the guys in Oceans Eleven. But with Leo and the writing team behind Rounders and—hello!—Ocean's Thirteen, the odds look good on this one.
What else is going on in the casting world?
• Natalie Portman is limbering up for Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan, a supernatural thriller set in the world of ballet, says the Hollywood Reporter. Hey, if she can dance half as good as she can rap, we're in.
• The Disney comedy You Again has added a trifecta of talented thespians: Jamie Lee Curtis, Kristin Chenoweth and—wait for it—Betty White. We are so there.
