Variety reports that Leonardo DiCaprio is attached to star in a film
adaptation of John D. MacDonald's The Deep Blue Good-Bye. I can't imagine

Nor me. Aussie actor Rod Taylor was pretty good in _DARKER THAN
AMBER_ . He's still working but he's 80yrs old now - A leeetle bit
too old for the part.

I dunno. I think he'd be better than fine.
DiCaprio has really grown as an actor. Thought him terrifically good in
Blood Diamond and The Departed..

I agree, Annie. Di Caprio is a fine actor albeit cursed, as is Matt
Damon, with pretty boy looks that tend to make it harder to take him
seriously in some roles.

Nobody stays a pretty boy forever. Have a look at what he really
looks like now:
