DiCaprio set to be a Viking

No, Leonardo DiCaprio is not going to suddenly don a football uniform, rather some huge horns as he signs on to star in Mel Gibson’s newest period piece. Gibson is in the director’s chair with powerful producer Graham King producing under GK Films. Gibson will be producing as well along with Tim Headington under Icon Productions. There is no real plot synopsis that has been released yet for this untitled film other than the plain fact that DiCaprio will be a viking.

“This will be an awe-inspiring story, created with some of the industry’s finest cinematic talent, and I am just over the moon to be making this film with Mel, Leo and Bill,” King said in a statement after the principals confirmed the project to Daily Variety. (Variety) DiCaprio is next to be seen in the February release of Scorsese’s latest directed piece entitled Shutter Island.

I've been in love with film ever since I was a kid. The time, effort and passion that runs through a majority most film is something that's always attracted me to this field. What ended up happening with my big appetite for all things going on in the industry turned from random blurbs on Facebook to an unexpected but fun job. College student by day, movie news writer by early morning...or any time in the day and night when more news arrives. Working towards my bachelor's degree in film, what a surprise. I do other things too, like draw, write stories, maintain a social life and feed my pet dragon Lockheed. If you want to know more about me, hunt me down and just ask.
