Defiance
Synopsis: Based on an extraordinary true story, “Defiance” is an epic tale of family, honor, vengeance and salvation in World War II.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in REVOLUTIONARY ROAD Movie Trailer

The trailer for Sam Mendes’ new movie, REVOLUTIONARY ROAD, starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio has finally been released.
Based on on the book of the same name by Richard Yates Revolutionary Road is about a young couple living in a Connecticut suburb during the mid-1950s struggling to come to terms with their personal problems while trying to raise their two children.
This is one of the few movies that I was really looking forward to checking out the trailer for, and it didn’t disappoint. It looks like an intense, character study movie, and I love those. Although, it seems like an odd choice for a Christmas time release (not very cheery is it?!).
I do have to mention that I wish Leonardo DiCaprio had a “Departed” goatee, it makes him look older and manlier. In the trailer he looks so young, even younger than Kate Winslet, which makes it hard to believe [...]

First Look: REVOLUTIONARY ROAD – Leonardo DiCaprio & Kate Winslet Picture

I came upon this picture (on Yahoo! Movies) of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in their upcoming movie, REVOLUTIONARY ROAD.
The movie is based on the book of the same name by Richard Yates. I haven’t actually read the book, but I have read a few people mention how great of a book it is. It’s always a delicate process to transform great books into movies, because there are always going to be people who don’t like it. I personally am just looking forward to seeing Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in a movie together again, and to top it off Revolutionary Road is directed by Sam Mendes. This pretty much means that I don’t need a trailer to know that I’ll see it, but I am looking forward to the trailer anyway.
Revolutionary Road will be released on December 26, 2008.
