The ten years have flown by since Deadline ran its first interview with DiCaprio – many have followed including the most recent Awardsline cover story for One Battle After Another. My first encounter with DiCaprio started with plans to meet for a quick drink in New York. Fresh from the ordeal that director Alejandro Inarritu put him through in the survival tale, DiCaprio was famished. Drinks became dinner, a quick story became our first Deadline cover story together, and I recall DiCaprio ordering every single menu item at a time he was building back his stamina from that shoot that proved so difficult that there were times the crew enlisted him to persuade the director to call it a day because it was so cold that the lenses on Chivo Lubezki’s camera had frozen to be nearly inoperable.
It seemed clear to me then that DiCaprio wasn’t going to make a habit of making too many movies that himself and everyone in peril. For his Oscar-nominated turn as the arsonist in One Battle After Another, he handed his character’s signature bathrobe to a stuntman for the 40 foot fall off a building. From subsequent turns in Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood to Don’t Look Up, Killers of the Flower Moon and One Battle After Another, DiCaprio continually finds ways to test himself, but no movie he makes will be as difficult as was The Revenant.
Inarritu will take part in a Q&A panel discussion at the Feb. 26 screening at the Regal Sherman Oaks Galleria and DiCaprio will join virtually, to recapture all the fun they had on the Mark L. Smith-scripted film that also starred Tom Hardy and was produced by the late Steve Golin, Inarritu, Arnon Milchan and Mary Parent.
