New Rasputin movie with Leonardo DiCaprio

[KarinK]

The screencaps are great! It's so interesting and rare to see Xenia and Irina included in the cast.

Is it just me or is the actress playing Alexandra here the same one (Ingeborga Dapkunaite) featured in the 2003 film "The Lost Prince".

It is her, I remember reading that she'd play Alexandra again.

What is the Russian film called?

Really, Putin needs to get over this silly fear of gay people.  It's 2014, for crying out loud.

[amelia]

I agree with you - it is time to get over that silly thing.

It is a cultural thing guys, different country, different culture, different values, whether we agree with them or not. Not an uncommon attitude at all.

Interesting scenes.

This looks like it could be one of the most inclusive films ever released about the imperial family. I'm glad to see Anya Vyrubova has been included. To my knowledge she's never appears (or been named, at least) in any other films.

The more I see regarding this the more I want to see it!

Not to switch subjects back to the main topic, but has anyone heard anything more about the DiCaprio film? I've heard nothing more about the picture since June or so. Is it possible that the project has been shelved and Leo's beard is just a coincidence?

[Jen_94]

I follow Leo's career and nope I have not heard a thing about this at all. I would not think it has been shelved, it could be just in the works at the moment?

I have some info on Leo. He has not been making a Rasputin movie he is making a movie called The Revelant based on the novel of the same name. He is playing a mountain man/fur trapper named Hugh Glass. He was mauled by a bear and left for dead by his "friends" in a epic story of survival Glass recovers enough and crawls and walks 300 miles to safety. The movie "Man in the Wilderness" was based on this story. On Hugh Glass's wiki bio I noticed a couple of errors the accounts I have read have him being killed by Indians in 1832 not 1833 in wiki. The line...interrupted by attack of Arikee Indians (citation needed) My over accounts don't mention this attack. Sources Fur-Fish-Game Magazine June and July 1991 articles and True West 2015.

since this site deals with Imperial Russia I have some more information. The Russians set up a number of trading posts along the Western coast of the modern US in the early 1800s. The Museum of the fur trade in Chadron Nebraska has on display some Imperial Russian fur trading goods and artifacts from this period.

Sounds like it could be quite interesting. Virtually everything DiCaprio is in is good anymore. That said it is a bit disappointing to hear that he's not playing the role of Rasputin.

James do you know if that picture is still being made, or has the project been scrapped? There was some buzz a couple years back about a Teddy Roosevelt film being made but then I heard that project was put on hold in favor of a film about Woodrow Wilson. And now I've heard next to nothing about the Wilson project ever since.

[JamesAPrattIII]

I really can't say when or if the movie with leo playing Rasputin is going to be made. We others will both have to keep an eye out in the entertainment news.

[JamesAPrattIII]

In looking through the entertainment section of a newspaper Leo is going to play Serial killer H.H. Holmes in the movie "The Devil in White City". It didn't say when the filming will begin ect.
