Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio has made it his business to work with the most acclaimed filmmakers of the modern era. The star, whose first real breakout role came on the ABC sitcom “Growing Pains,” has worked with Martin Scorsese no less than six times with the latest being “Killers of the Flower Moon.”. He’s done double-duty with Quentin Tarantino, and made blockbuster films with Best Director winners James Cameron, Clint Eastwood, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, and Steven Spielberg, and nominees Ridley Scott and Adam McKay.

Beginning with 1993’s “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape,” for which he received his first Academy Award nomination at age 19, DiCaprio has earned eight total nominations from the Oscars: seven as an actor — including most recently for “Once Upon a Time In Hollywood,” plus his Best Actor win for “The Revenant” — and one as a producer, for Best Picture nominee “The Wolf of Wall Street.” DiCaprio has...

Here’s the real reason Leonardo DiCaprio has never starred in a sequel: he’s too good for them. That might sound bold, but let’s be honest—when you’re Leo, your film career is a gallery of stand-alone masterpieces, not a never-ending franchise treadmill. From Titanic to Inception, he’s carefully chosen films that tell unique, self-contained stories—and he’s stuck with that philosophy like a movie buff who refuses to watch the extended director’s cut.

Let’s start with the cold, hard truth: sequels don’t fit DiCaprio’s career plan. In a recent Variety interview, Leo explained, “Every movie I’ve done has been its piece of individual art.” Translation: he’s not into cashing in on sequels to keep a franchise alive. It’s all about that one-time magic.

Leonardo DiCaprio has long been branded as the bachelor in Hollywood who dates hot and young models. Over the years, he has been associated with the likes of Naomi Campbell, Blake Lively, Gisele Bündchen, Camila Morrone, and Gigi Hadid. Most recently, he was seen together with Italian model Vittoria Cerretti. According to a report, the Hollywood star does not want one thing in any of his relationships.

An insider source recently revealed that DiCaprio seems adamant about not having kids despite the actor stating otherwise in an old interview. His notion about a loving relationship is reportedly very different from that of his friend and Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood co-star, Brad Pitt. The Fight Club star reportedly wants a baby with his girlfriend Ines de Ramon.

Producer Michael Jackman has done it all.

He has 35 years of experience in all aspects of motion pictures. Most recently he’s produced “Conclave,” a papal thriller starring Ralph Fiennes that looks to be a big awards contender this season. But before that, he was EVP of physical production and post at FilmNation Entertainment. While there, he worked on movies like “Arrival,” “Greyhound” and “The Good Nurse.”

He started as a Pa and over the years oversaw the construction and operations of a state-of-the-art, 45,000-square-foot post-production facility for Ronald O. Perelman’s Deluxe Entertainment in the heart of New York City; served as senior vice president of post-production at the Weinstein Company and Dimension Films, working on post-production for over 40 films; and supervised several Oscar-nominated films including “Gangs of New York” and “The Aviator,” and was associate producer on Michel Gondry’s “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.”

When Leonardo DiCaprio Sacrificed $18 Million of His Salary for Clint Eastwood’s Film—Here’s Inspiring Story Behind His Generosity! ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Leonardo DiCaprio has built an illustrious career by collaborating with some of Hollywood’s most respected and talented directors. His long-standing partnership with director Martin Scorsese has resulted in iconic films like The Departed and The Wolf of the Wall Street. While DiCaprio has also worked with Quentin Tarantino in films like Once Upon a Time In Hollywood and Christopher Nolan’s Inception, he has solidified his position as one of his generation’s most celebrated and bankable actors. But there were more.

The Titanic actor also collaborated with another giant director in the industry, Clint Eastwood, for the 2011 biopic J. Edgar. The movie featured the life of the first FBI director, J. Edgar Hoover. DiCaprio portrayed the character physically and emotionally, capturing Hoover’s personal and professional life.

In the world of fashion and modelling, Gisele Bündchen is a force to be reckoned with. The Brazilian supermodel took the runway world by storm when she debuted in the Alexander McQueen show in 1998. This was definitely a huge feat given that she faced 42 casting rejections before the British fashion designer got her on board. Soon she started walking for major designers and became one of the highest-paid models in no time.

While she was making huge waves in her professional career, her love life also featured some of the biggest names in the industry. In this article, we will take a closer look at her relationship timeline, from her romance with Leonardo DiCaprio to her marriage with Tom Brady as well as her current boyfriend Joaquim Valente.

I can’t keep up with him.

On a recent September afternoon, Jude Law is running away from the set of “Black Rabbit,” a Netflix miniseries where he plays a Manhattan nightclub owner who welcomes his troublemaker brother back into his life. Today’s setup, shot in the South Street Seaport, involves a flashback sequence between Law’s character and his scraggly sibling, played by Jason Bateman. Law and I are supposed to meet in the lobby of a hotel after the scene wraps, but filming goes over, and his assistant, Ryan, texts me that Law wants to talk to me as he walks to his trailer a few blocks away. But by the time I make it outside, he’s already a distant figure on the horizon.

Is he that man in blue? “No, he’s in the gray,” Ryan says. “He’s fucking quick.” Unless we sprint — and...

While Gwen Stefani has long been on television screens as a judge on The Voice, she also had ambitions of making it in film as an actor. While she has not had many roles, she auditioned for parts with several high profile directors. She auditioned for a role in the Brian de Palma film Black Dahlia and admitted the experience was a bit humiliating.

Gwen Stefani auditioned for a film with Josh Hartnett

In the early 2000s, Stefani began to shift her focus to film acting. She auditioned for a part in Black Dahlia alongside Josh Hartnett, who had a role as a detective.

“It was really humiliating and nerve-racking, but I feel like I did pretty well,” she told Vogue. “But I don’t know whether I would ever even do it if they offered it to me because it’s a kind of a racy part.”

If there’s one thing Angelina Jolie is known for, it’s her fierce determination. With a bold personality, she’s always made it clear she knows what she wants, and that didn’t change when she crossed paths with Harvey Weinstein.

When she was still pretty young, she had an encounter with the former Miramax executive, and she didn’t hold back in describing just how awful the experience was. The actress even had a fight with her ex-husband Brad Pitt when she saw him working on projects that had Weinstein’s name attached. To this day, she’s still very outspoken about her feelings toward the convicted s*x offender.

In 2020, Harvey Weinstein was convicted of s*x crimes after being accused by several actresses.

The legacy of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt can almost be considered predestined in Hollywood – so powerful is their impact on the industry today. However, the problem with legends is that there can only be one of them at a time. And the world will never settle for knocking either Pitt or Cruise off the pedestal to raise the other.

The newer generation with actors like Jacob Elordi, Timothée Chalamet, and Austin Butler have a long way to go before elevating themselves to the level of Cruise and Pitt. Fortunately, once in a blue moon, actors like Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon waltz into the scene and launch themselves off with a bang which automatically propels them to god-tier fame among the fans.

Biography is undoubtedly one of the most popular genres in existence, because people just love to watch a Wikipedia page come to life in live-action format. But as someone who has flunked his history exams quite a few times, I don’t like a by-the-numbers chronicling of the past. I love biographies that tend to have pizazz, if they have the audacity to be experimental with their storytelling, or if they are centered around a not-so-popular subject matter. Off the top of my head, I can name Schindler’s List, Ford v Ferrari, Elvis (the 2022 one), Rocketman, Jarhead, The Aviator, First Man, Spotlight, Serpico, Spencer, American Animals, Dog Day Afternoon, Tetris, Judas and the Black Messiah, Dolemite Is My Name, and Chopper as some of my favorite biopics. Now, it seemed like The Man Who Loved UFOs was tailor-made for me. It had a peculiar subject matter. The filmmaking looked good.

As is the case with most below-the-line Oscar categories, bigger equals better when it comes to Best Production Design. The more lavish the sets, the more accurate the period detail, the more extravagant the designs, the more likely your film will win an Academy Award. Formerly known as Best Art Direction/Set Decoration, this prize goes to the production designer and set decorator, leaving the poor art directors on the outside looking in; perhaps that accounts for the title change. (Scroll down for the most up-to-date 2025 Oscar predictions for Best Production Design.)

Like Best Costume Design, this award rarely corresponds with Best Picture. Before “The Shape of Water” prevailed in both categories in 2018, the last to line-up was “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” in 2004. Often, the winner of this race hasn’t even been nominated for the top prize, as was the case with “Memoirs of a Geisha...

If you want to win an Oscar for Best Costume Design, it’s best to pick a project for which you can create frilly dresses from a bygone era. Since its introduction at the 1948 Academy Awards, this category has favored period pictures, including the 2024 winner “Poor Things.” (Scroll down for the most up-to-date 2025 Oscar predictions for Best Costume Design.)

Voters love to reward the creative forces behind such films, especially those that are about the aristocracy including recent champs “Marie Antoinette” (2007), “Elizabeth: The Golden Age” (2008), “The Duchess” (2009), “The Young Victoria” (2010), and “Anna Karenina” (2013). By the way, none of those films even competed for Best Picture. Indeed, only 20 Best Picture champs also won this award; the last to do so was “The Artist” in 2012.

Among the other double dippers was “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” (2004). Fantasy films such as this often boast Oscar-winning costumes, including 2022 champ “Cruella,...

Christopher Nolan is back working with the studio that finally earned him a Best Director Oscar. He teams up with Universal to bring out his new movie on July 17, 2026. Reports suggest that the film will go into production early next year. Nolan is also reportedly collaborating with Matt Damon for the third time, who may lead an ensemble cast in this film.

The title, plot, and even the genre of the film are kept under tight wraps and fans can only speculate what Nolan’s new venture is going to be. Nolan and Universal will look to repeat their Oppenheimer success, both at the box office and during the awards season, for this film.

“I’ve been thinking for a long time, ‘Wouldn’t it be great to have an exhibition?’” says costume designer Sandy Powell, whose numerous credits include Shakespeare In Love, most of Martin Scorsese’s recent output and the upcoming Snow White. But, for the three-time Oscar and BAFTA winner — and double Costume Designers Guild Award recipient — a career retrospective isn’t necessarily about flexing. She just wants to share.

“Because I have quite a large collection of my own costumes, which I’ve been sneakily collecting over the years,” says Powell, with a smile. So, when the Savannah College of Art and Design (Scad) came calling “out of the blue,” she immediately jumped on board.

“To get the conversation started, I met Sandy in person a few times, including teatime in London,” says Rafael Gomes, curator and creative director for Scad Fash museums. He then held regular Zoom meetings with...

Martin Scorsese’s Hollywood domination began in the mid-20th century and never came to a stop. A key member of the New Hollywood movement, along with Coppola, Spielberg, and Kubrick, Martin Scorsese – with the help of childhood friend Robert De Niro and the colorfully vocal Joe Pesci – defined a whole new genre that thrived on mean streets, crime, and violence.

While Scorsese’s filmography kept on snowballing with hit after hit, so did the reputation of Robert De Niro climb until he reached an almost stratospheric level where he is now revered as a god-like figure of the film industry. Known as one of the best, if not the best, character actors in Hollywood, De Niro still holds a childlike enthusiasm toward working with Scorsese, just as the...

When it was announced that two high-profile Martin Scorsese films – one a biopic of Frank Sinatra, the other on Jesus – were being postponed, it led people to wonder what exactly was going on, with some thoughts leading the mind to consider: Is Martin Scorsese retiring? Well, Marty is here to tell you that he doesn’t plan on going anywhere.

Appearing at the Museum of Cinema in Turin, Martin Scorsese told the crowd, “I’m not saying goodbye to cinema at all. I still have more films to make, and I hope God gives me the strength to make them.” Ok, so that whole “gives me the strength” statement does feel a bit uneasy, but considering the level of passion and drive that Scorsese still has – the guy released a three-and-a-half hour epic just last year, the same he turned 81 – we really don’t have any reason to worry.

Leonardo DiCaprio has been roped into Diddy’s case, but no specific charges have been leveled at The Wolf of Wall Street actor. In fact, it seems that no one has installed the actor into the case just yet, but fans are thinking otherwise.

Leonardo DiCaprio has been infamous among his fans for dating women who belong to a certain age group, an allegation that has become much more severe after his association with Diddy has come to light. While there have been no accusations from the federal investigative team, there seems to be a lot of fan speculation about the nature of DiCaprio’s association with Diddy.

Prime Video has launched the first official trailer for Kate Beckinsale's next kickass actioner Canary Black, which will see the former Underworld star play a top CIA operative that is forced to go rogue to save her kidnapped husband while simultanously working to prevent the start of World War 3.

The full synopsis reads, "A top CIA operative, Avery Graves, is blackmailed by terrorists into betraying her own country to save her kidnapped husband. Cut off from her team, she turns to her underworld contacts to survive and help locate the coveted intelligence that the kidnappers want. Betrayed at every turn, she must rely on her cutting-edge training and primitive fighting skills in a deadly race to deliver a ransom that could trigger a global crisis."

This will mark the second action film Beckinsale has launched on Prime Video in recent years, following 2021's Jolt. Her series The Widow was also launched on the streamer,...

The seven-episode psychological thriller starring Cate Blanchett and Kevin Kline, with Alfonso Cuarón serving as writer and director, will debut Friday, Oct. 11 on the streamer with the first two episodes, TVLine has learned. The remaining episodes will air weekly on Fridays until the Nov. 15 finale.

Blanchett — who has tallied eight Oscar nominations,...

Cate Blanchett — so beloved by this year’s San Sebastian Film Festival that she was featured on the event’s official poster — was sent a sentimental video message by fellow actor George Clooney as she accepted her Donostia Award Saturday night.

The Australian star, known for her roles in films such as The Aviator, The Lord of the Rings trilogy and more recently, the Oscar-nominated Tár, was recognized on the Spanish coast for her achievements in film.

“Fucking George!” Blanchett remarked as she wiped away mascara following her standing ovation at San Sebastian’s Kursaal Theater. Clooney had said in the video: “I want to say that there’s acting as a profession, and then there’s acting as an art, and we recognize that art… I’ve been lucky enough to direct you and to act with you, and you always make everyone around you feel lucky that we...

She might be the greatest dramatic actress of her generation, but Cate Blanchett hasn’t scared away every comedic director. After all, “Rumours” helmers Guy Maddin, Evan Johnson and Galen Johnson sent her the script for their audacious satire.

“I think in a strange way, everything is funny,” Blanchett said during an interview at the Variety Toronto Film Festival Studio. “We are all absurd in some way, and we all think we’re the heroes and the tragedians of our own stories. Yeah. Sometimes you make decisions about what you can be involved in based on a lot of things that don’t have to necessarily do with choice. Sometimes it’s to do with whether it fits in with your kids’ holidays.”

“That’s how we got you?” Evan Johnson asked.

“Yes, I wanted to be in the forest at night for eight weeks in Budapest, and my kids were really happy about that!

Leonardo DiCaprio began his acting career as a child actor in the ’80s appearing in TV commercials. He had small roles in TV shows before appearing in a major role in This Boy’s Life. Shortly after, his role in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape earned him his first Oscar nomination. Before his humble beginnings, DiCaprio had believed in a dark myth about the industry.

The Aviator actor revealed that until the age of 13, he thought Hollywood worked as a fraternity like the Freemasons and that he couldn’t possibly enter the field. He believed that he could only become an actor if he shared some sort of bloodline with the actors working in Hollywood.

Leonardo DiCaprio...

Do you ever wonder how a film can turn its actors into overnight household names, almost like they won the fame lottery? Well, let us take you back to the iconic year 1997 when Leonardo DiCaprio starred in James Cameron’s Titanic opposite Kate Winslet.

Alongside DiCaprio and Winslet, the film featured a mesmerizing array of talent, including Bill Paxton and Billy Zane. Not to mention, the film waltzed away with 11 Oscars, including prestigious accolades like Best Picture & Best Director.

Although DiCaprio missed out on an Oscar nod for his portrayal of Jack Dawson, he did nab a Golden Globe nomination. So, what’s the catch? Director Steven Spielberg once expressed his regret, feeling like he inadvertently turned the Romeo + Juliet star into a “prisoner” of his own fame.

The 51st edition of the Telluride Film Festival concluded on Labor Day, with three standout films generating significant Oscar buzz: Sean Baker’s Palme d’Or winner “Anora,” Jacques Audiard’s Spanish-language musical “Emilia Pérez,” and Jason Reitman’s dark comedy “Saturday Night.”

Distributed by Sony Pictures, “Saturday Night” marks Reitman’s return to both directing and screenwriting, collaborating with co-writer Gil Kenan. While the film takes a high-tension look at the 90 minutes leading up to the first episode of the iconic sketch show “Saturday Night Live,” it has received mixed reactions from critics. However, history has shown that critical reception does not always align with Oscar success, as evidenced by past Best Picture winners like “Green Book” (2018) and “Coda” (2021). The No. 1 rule of Oscar punditry is to remember critics are not Oscar voters.

On the other hand, RaMell Ross’s “Nickel Boys” could be poised to make an impression with both the L.

Universal’s movie adaptation of the hit musical “Wicked” is flying into theatres this year and brings with it a flurry of stars including Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Jeff Goldblum, and Michelle Yeoh. But those stars aren’t the only ones who may shine bright in the film as the movie’s trailer displayed a dazzling array of designs that could mean it’s set for Oscar attention. In particular, it could be a key player for Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, and Best Makeup and Hairstyling.

Paul Tazewell is on costuming duty here. He was nominated for Best Costume Design in 2022 for another musical, “West Side Story.” Although he lost to Jenny Beavan for “Cruella,” musicals are often nominated in this category. Along with “West Side Story,” movie musicals such as “Cyrano,” “Mary Poppins Returns,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “La La Land,” “Cinderella,” and “Into the Woods” have...

One of the most acclaimed films of 2004 is “Collateral,” starring Tom Cruise, Jamie Foxx and Jada Pinkett Smith. Written by Stuart Beattie and directed by Michael Mann, the movie tells of a cab driver in nighttime Los Angeles who becomes the hostage of a contract killer. Released 20 years ago in August 2004, “Collateral” was a box office success, grossing $220 million worldwide on a $65 million budget. Read on for more about the “Collateral” 20th anniversary.

Most of the nation’s critics were positive on “Collateral.” Todd McCarthy in Variety wrote, “This intensely focused piece soars not only on the director’s precision-tooled style but also on the outstanding interplay between leads Cruise and Foxx.” Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times called the film “a rare thriller that’s as much character study as sound and fury.” And Peter Travers in Rolling Stone said, “Mann hits a new peak, orchestrating action, atmosphere and...

When director Todd Field sat down and wrote his film “Tár,” there was only one option to play the title character. As he described to IndieWire in an interview, the film wouldn’t have been made if Cate Blanchett hadn’t agreed to take the part of lauded conductor Lydia Tár. “I had no backup plan,” he told IndieWire. “I’d met Cate 10 years ago and I knew coming out of that meeting that I had just been in conversation with somebody that had one of the great brains I ever met. And it was someone that I was really, really desperate to be able to collaborate with.”

It might seem silly to hinge your entire film on the participation of a single actor; the Australian Blanchett doesn’t share any notable biographical details with the fictional American conductor that makes her casting meaningful in a meta sense. Once you see her extraordinary performance,...

Michael Jackson’s nephew, Jaafar Jackson, who will portray the pop star in the upcoming biopic about the singer’s life, has signed with CAA for representation.

Jackson is the son of Jermaine Jackson and the nephew of Michael Jackson and will make his acting debut in the role of his late uncle in Michael. Antoine Fuqua will direct and Graham King, a seasoned hand at biopics with the Oscar-winning Queen film Bohemian Rhapsody, is producing for Gk Films.

Jaafar Jackson as a singer released his debut single, “Got Me Singing,” in 2019. That followed Jackson starting at age 12 to play the piano and sing with an eye to pursue a career in music.

In the early 2000s, director Michael Mann was coming off four hugely ambitious films — “The Last of the Mohicans,” “Heat,” “The Insider,” and “Ali” — and thinking about what to do next. He spent over a year working with John Logan on a Howard Hughes script that Martin Scorsese would ultimately direct as “The Aviator,” but its similarities to “Ali” made him wary of embarking on another epic.

“It was an internal conflict,” Mann said on IndieWire’s Filmmaker Toolkit podcast. “In Ali’s case, it was about Ali determining his identity. ‘Who shall I be? Who shall I represent to the world?’ The quest he’s on is very similar to the Howard Hughes story.”

Luckily, another script came Mann’s way that was not only different from “Ali” but also from anything he’d done before. Stuart Beattie’s “Collateral” had the kind of intense conflict, rich characters, and...

Oscar winners Alfonso Cuaron, Cate Blanchett, and Kevin Kline have teamed with Apple TV+ for the new limited series “Disclaimer.” On Wednesday, the streaming service debuted the first teaser trailer for the show, which begins streaming on October 11.

Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the most recognized stars in the world after he starred in multiple blockbusters such as Titanic, The Wolf of Wall Street, and Inception. The actor is the recipient of the Oscar for Best Actor, which he received in 2016 after multiple snubs, and is often regarded as one of the best actors of the generation.

Recently, a lookalike of the actor went viral on social media due to his uncanny resemblance to the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actor. The video can be seen in the Russian model Anastasyia Queen’s Instagram which sees the actor in a look that he sported in films like Inception and Shutter Island.

Glen Powell is already making an impact in Hollywood with his impeccable projects that well showcased his acting prowess. However, the actor is yet far from achieving one record that Ethan Hawke and Hitman director Richard Linklater will attain with the upcoming project that they’re set to collaborate on.

It is quite a great feat as the actor-director duo have already collaborated on numerous projects that even actor-director duo, Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese have yet to attain.

Ethan Hawke and Glen Powell’s Hitman director Richard Linklater Will Work on the 9th Project Together

Ethan Hawke and Richard Linklater have long been collaborating on projects that produced some of the most critically acclaimed films over the last three decades. From bringing innovative narratives to authentic character portrayals, their partnership has continued to expand the horizon of storytelling on the big screen cinema.

When TCM channel host Dave Karger used to be a writer for Entertainment Weekly in his early days as a print journalist, he would focus a great deal on interviewing the big pop stars of the day, along with his duties on the film beat. But little did very many people suspect then that what he really wanted to be writing about was “Laura”… not Branigan, but David Raksin’s music for the classic 1945 noir. That was the film that really prompted Karger’s lifelong love of movie scoring.

“His score for ‘Laura’ really turned me on to classic film music, and film scores in general,” says Karger. “And then you go back and you learn that in 1945, there were 20 Oscar nominees that year in the category of best score for a non-musical film — and David Raksin wasn’t even one of the 20 nominees. That’s a score that has...

Ranker is a popular place on the Internet where people can rank whatever they want, however, they want, and whenever they want. This is always a fan-focused ranking system, and it is never officially tied to the people behind the projects in question.

"Million Dollar Baby" was Clint Eastwood's second Best Picture winner — and, I've a feeling, narrowly missed out on being his third, because there was a tremendous amount of enthusiasm for "Mystic River" in 2003. Unfortunately for Eastwood, that happened to be the year voters had earmarked as the year to celebrate Peter Jackson's brilliantly executed Middle-earth saga with the release of its concluding chapter "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King." Still, I bet it was a closer vote.

Perhaps the most interesting aspect of "Million Dollar Baby" taking Best Picture is that, looking over the near-century-long list of winners, it's likely in the top five of awardees you never want to watch again — not because it's bad, but because it's horrifically depressing. Eastwood successfully sets the film on a familiar sports movie trajectory, but then it veers shockingly off course into a despairing third act.

Chicago – You’ll never hear a better speech about the actor’s gratitude for his hometown than John C. Reilly’s proclamation at the 60th Chicago International Film Festival’s Summer Gala on June 1st, 2024. He brought the house down with emotional and passionate words about his journey that began in the Windy City.

With an astonishing range of roles already under his belt, John C. Reilly has played an eclectic host of rich characters to great effect over the years, from seedy ne’er-do-wells to lovable and good-natured schlepps. The fifth of six children, John Christopher Reilly was born in Chicago, and was brought up on Chicago’s Southwest Side. On the amateur stage from age eight, Reilly trained at the Goodman School of Drama and eventually became a member of Chicago’s renowned Steppenwolf Theatre.

Natalie Portman is an Oscar-winning actress who has been quite prolific throughout her three decade film career, but how many of her titles remain classics? Let’s take a look back at 16 of Portman’s greatest movies, ranked worst to best.

Portman made her acting debut when she was just 13-years-old with “Leon: The Professional” (1994), which cast her as a teenager teaming up with a hitman (Jean Reno) to avenge her family’s murder.

Her first Oscar nomination came just 10 years later: Best Supporting Actress for “Closer” (2004). The role of Alice, a stripper dating a writer (Jude Law) in love with another woman (Julia Roberts), brought her a Golden Globe victory, though the Academy went with Cate Blanchett (“The Aviator”) instead.

Portman didn’t go Oscar-less for too long. Just six years later, she reaped a Best Actress victory for playing an obsessive ballerina in the psychological thriller “Black Swan...

A playwright-turned-screenwriter, John Logan made a name for himself — and earned three Oscar nominations — working with some of the biggest names in the business, in genres ranging period dramas, sword-and-sandal epics and spy thrillers.

His credits include Martin Scorsese’s The Aviator, Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd, Oliver Stone’s Any Given Sunday, Ridley Scott’s Gladiator, Ed Zwick and Tom Cruise’s The Last Samurai, and two James Bond movies directed by Sam Mendes, to name a few.

Logan was, in his own words, shaped by two early influences: William Shakespeare and monsters. The Great Bard led him to drama, theatre, and a career in writing. But even before that, there were monsters. He was raised on the fantastical world of Dark Shadows, the horror movies of Universal and Hammer, Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine, the Aurora monster modeling kits, and Marvel’s Tomb of Dracula comic books. His...

Christopher Nolan’s biopic thriller Oppenheimer dominated the box office last year, and the film has been praised for its compelling storyline and incredible portrayal of the father of the atomic bomb. Fans should know that this is not Nolan’s first rodeo when it comes to adapting the life of a real person on the big screen.

He has written a script long ago on the life of aviator Howard Hughes, but the project did not get off the ground because he was beaten to it by fellow veteran filmmaker Martin Scorsese. The latter directed 2004’s The Aviator starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

Christopher Nolan Wrote A Howard Hughes Biopic Before Oppenheimer

Christopher Nolan revealed he wrote Oppenheimer pretty quickly because he already had experience writing biographical films. He shared with Total Film magazine via Yahoo Entertainment:

When I wrote my Howard Hughes script,...

While Oppenheimer was Christopher Nolan’s first biographical drama to hit the big screens, this wasn’t the Oscar-winner’s first time penning a script surrounding a real-life figure. Before changing the superhero landscape with The Dark Knight, the director had plans to make a biopic about the American aerospace engineer Howard Hughes, for which he even wrote a script.

But as the story goes, Nolan’s passion project never materialized as before the director could make his pitch, Martin Scorsese was already working on Hughes’ biopic, The Aviator. However, it wasn’t all in vain for Nolan, as his experience working on the script for his Howard Hughes biopic came in handy while penning Oppenheimer.

Speaking of the unmade biopic, Christopher Nolan deemed his script for the canned project the best he’d ever written.
