News Bites: 'Revolutionary Road' Poster, 'Dear Zachary' Gets Its Deal, & More
Filed under: Comedy, Documentary, Drama, Casting, Deals, RumorMonger, Posters
Their romance in Titanic was one for the record books. Now Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio are getting to canoodle once again in Revolutionary Road. The above pic is part of the poster for the film, which has popped up over at USA Today. The guy died too quickly last time, and thus we never got to see what the future had in store for Jack and Rose. So now we get Frank and April -- a young, successful couple in the '50s, who move to France and watch things crumble. Man, it's so much more hopeful when they die young. Now this whole ordeal could be sending Winslet right into the world of Erica Jong and Fear of Flying.
Yay! After waiting months for that elusive deal to finalize, The Hollywood Reporter posts that Oscilloscope Pictures has picked up Kurt Kuenne's Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son about His Father. The theatrical release will begin in New York on October 31. Go see it. Please. Don't read anything more. Just go.
In other Big Apple news, Yahoo has got a trailer up for Synecdoche, New York, which I'm dying to see. Besides growing up near Schenectady, where part of the film takes place, it's Charlie Kaufman's directorial debut. And it also has a mind-boggling, a-mazing cast.
Finally a little bit for the rumor hounds -- EW says that now Jude Law might play Dr. Watson in Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes. (Not Colin Farrell or Russell Crowe.) Robert Downey Jr. and Law -- interesting... What do you think?

(Page 1)2. as far as i'm aware they don't actually go to France in the film, that's just a mistake on the part of USA Today :)

5. btw, the trailer for Revolutionary Road aired before Ghost Town here and it looks marvelous, and it looks very true to the source material.

1. Is Revolutionary Road the movie a big departure from the novel? It sounds like from USA Today's description (and the one above) that a big plot point goes a different way than the book.
