Leonardo DiCaprio Confirms Mel Gibson’s Viking Movie
The movie doesn’t have a title. Who knows if there is a script yet? Who knows when it will start production? Or be released? But Leonardo DiCaprio says he is definitely going to do a viking movie with Mel Gibson, so this thing is almost a mortal lock to happen and I’m stoked. When I hear about most tentative or upcoming projects, I do a quick Internet search to confirm, shrug my shoulders and move on.
“Kevin Spacey signed on to the new pic from The King of Kong director? Could be interesting. Colin Farrell and Eric Bana are doing a movie together where they are arch rivals? Hey, I like both actors, but I’ll take the wait-and-see approach before I label it the second coming of The Prestige.”
This Leo-Mel Viking Project, however, is something different. Just look at how I can title it — Leo-Mel Viking Project. Four words and you know it will be epic. I guess I could also just call it The Passion of my Loins. In fact, I can’t stop thinking about Leo running around with Alexander Skarsgård (hey, he’d be perfect) decapitating motherf***ers.
Anyway, I heard the rumors late last year, but I wrote them off as just that. But when Leo himself came out while promoting Inception and stated that he wants to do this movie next, well, what else is needed to make it happen? You have the biggest movie star in the world and an Oscar-winning director who can finance huge blockbusters basically by himself. This crazy, barbaric viking epic is going to happen, and if you’ve seen two movies — Apocolypto and Gangs of New York — you have to be furiously stroking your horn right now with excitement.
This has to be the biggest viking news since Favre’s comeback. I’m going to start rocking a viking hat a la Flavor Flav, that’s how jacked I am. Leo-Mel Viking Project. Are you scared, James Cameron?
Check out the video, from MTV:

Viking movies are awesome! Period.
Wow, this could be a great movie!
Viking movies “could” be awesome. Name a recent movie that depicts vikings in their true nature based on a lot of new unearthed evidence of their life style. Some of the very first humans to capitalize and become very wealthy over trade.
I recommend watching the NOVA Viking “documentary” where you will learn many things about Vikings that is usually misunderstood. I am thinking “300″ type brutality with great business agendas and issues amongst themselves as well with other tradesmen.
nice, I like that. Should be awesome.
[...] inszenieren. Und Leonardo DiCaprio hat vor, darin eine Hauptrolle zu übernehmen, zumindest laut Flicksided.com – einer Website, die mir bis heute kein Begriff [...]
Im gonna see this, he said some mean Sh!t but hes an idiot not a racist
I wonder if mel’s latest rant will affect this.
I don’t know. After seeing that headshot in the article and doing a GIS on him, he’s grown up to be an actor with very striking looks; a fair amount of Cary Grant / Gregory Peck old-school movie star presence going on there. I must confess to never seeing a movie that Leo’s been in, so I can’t comment on his acting skills, but damn if he isn’t carrying the look well.
And could you please explain what you understand “typecast” to mean? Going through his IMDB entry, I’m seeing a pretty wide range of roles he’s played.
