Wow, DiCaprio's been a busy boy!

Just been reading Wiki, and while Leo may not be starring in some of the projects any more just goes to show that Wiki can be a tad out of date. However....

01: J. Edgar
02: Travis McGee
03: Prisoners
04: The Wolf of Wall Street
05: Brave New World
06: The Chancellor Manuscript
07: Sinatra
08: The Devil In The White City (as serial killer H.H. Holmes)
09: The Great Gatsby
10: Legacy of Secrecy

from Wikipedia:
DiCaprio is also set to star in Clint Eastwood's J. Edgar, a biopic about J. Edgar Hoover, the controversial first director of the FBI.[67] He was cast in the title role in Oliver Stone's film Travis McGee, in which he is expected to play a salvage consultant who helps his clients on recover lost property, and is attached to star as a father who kidnaps and tortures the man who kidnapped his daughter in the thriller Prisoners.[67] In addition, DiCaprio is said to be involved in the pre-production of Ridley Scott's projects The Wolf of Wall Street and Brave New World, Marc Forster's The Chancellor Manuscript and the biopic Sinatra, a film about Frank Sinatra to be directed by Martin Scorsese.[67] In July 2010, it was announced that DiCaprio had pulled out of a Viking movie to be directed by Mel Gibson amid controversy over Gibson's rage-fueled rant tapes and domestic violence probe.[68] On November 1, 2010, it was announced that DiCaprio's production company had acquired the rights to the Erik Larsen novel, The Devil in the White City.[69] The novel tells the true story of Dr. H. H. Holmes, a serial killer responsible for the death of hundreds of women during the Chicago World's Fair.[70] It has also been announced that DiCaprio will star in the film, playing the role of serial killer H. H. Holmes.[71] He was also cast in the role of Jay Gatsby in Baz Luhrmann's upcoming adaptation of the novel The Great Gatsby.[72]

On November 19, 2010, it was announced that DiCaprio will produce and star in the upcoming 2013 movie based on the book Legacy of Secrecy by Lamar Waldron and Thom Hartmann. The storyline examines how, in the early 1960s, the combined forces of the Central Intelligence Agency and the Mafia conspired to initiate and execute the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Is this your way of telling me that DiCaprio is also taking over as Goren on "Criminal Intent?" Otherwise, you lost me.

Glad to hear he's busy. He's "money" in my book. Just re-watched "Blood Diamond" again and really enjoyed it. Will never miss a movie he's in unless the content is completely lame or otherwise objectionable.

I really enjoyed "Blood Diamond" myself, and thought it was poetic that Leo got the Oscar nod for that film, as opposed to "The Departed" that year.

I thought "Body of Lies" was a borefest (for me, anyway). I have liked Leo's movies since his inception (pun unintended) with "This Boy's Life" and "What's Eating Gilbert Grape," so my problem was just that the subject matter of "Body of Lies" was the bore for me. I didn't like the one Matt Damon did, either, which was along the same lines ("Green Zone").

Re: Wow, DiCaprio's been a busy boy!

Guess you can add DiCaprio to Quentin Tarantino's upcoming Spaghetti Western. That'll mark the 2nd Western for Leo.
