When Baz Luhrmann first directed Leonardo DiCaprio in Romeo + Juliet in 1996, he was a young actor on the verge of superstardom. Fast-forward 17 years, and DiCaprio is back working with Luhrmann as the titular role in Luhrmann’s adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic American novel, The Great Gatsby. But this time, Leo’s different, the director told us at a screening of The Great Gatsby at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. “I’ve been thinking about it a lot,” Luhrmann reflected. “He really was this gifted young man, but now he’s at a point where he’s one of the finest players in the world.” And DiCaprio’s star power goes beyond the screen. ”He’s a collaborator,” Luhrmann continued. “He helped me get this green lit. You have no idea how hard it is for a studio to give you a reasonable chunk of money. It’s not easy for anybody; it hardly ever happens. We got it together and made it happen.” Now that’s the power of Leo! Click here to see where The Great Gatsby is playing near you.

Quentin Tarantino’s latest film Django Unchained opens in theaters today! Set in the Deep South two years before the Civil War, the movie follows bounty hunter Dr. King Shultz (Christoph Waltz) and freed slave Django (Jamie Foxx) on a journey to free Django’s wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington) from evil slave-owner Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio). Nominated for five Golden Globes, including Best Picture and two Best Supporting actor nods for DiCaprio and Christoph Waltz, this film boasts stellar performances that you’re sure to remember. “Everyone came from an intense characterization,” Tarantino told reporters at the New York premiere. “None of us are going to forget the making of this movie, and it really kind of rocked our world a little bit. And we captured that on film.” Django Unchained opens today nationwide. Click here to find where it’s playing near you.

After a delay in the release of Baz Luhrman’s film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel The Great Gatsby—which was originally supposed to come out this month and will now hit theaters May 10 of next year—there are a few more teasers out! The second trailer has just been released (watch it above), featuring stars Leonardo DiCaprio (as Jay Gatsby), Carey Mulligan (as Daisy Buchanan), Tobey Maguire (as Nick Carraway), and Isla Fisher (as Myrtle Wilson) in all their glittering, Luhrman-stylized glory. The director who brought us Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge appears to be sticking to his trademark visual style, relying upon slow-motion captures and lots of gold hues to tell the ostentatious tale of the upper echelons of New York society in the roaring 1920s. Maguire also took to his Twitter (for the first time since June!) to release six new posters for the film, each of which features an iconic line from the novel. Watch the trailer above and click through the gallery below to see all the posters!
