Two-bit sitcom star turned cinematic powerhouse (you think I’m about to spit Willie Aames name, don’t ya?) Leonardo DiCaprio has announced his next project.
The busy 30-year-old has signed to do "The Blood Diamond", says Variety, a dramatic thriller from director Ed Zwick.
According to the trade, the film will star the "Critters 3" fave (ouch! tomatoes again!) as a smuggler, in Sierra Leone circa 1999, who deals in the sale of "blood diamonds", or "conflict diamonds" – stones that are used to finance rebellions, privateers and terrorists.
Our smuggler friend bumps into an indigenous Mende farmer whose kid has taken off with the RUF’s army, and suddenly, the two men are linked.
After "Blood", DiCaprio is likely to start filming a remake of "For Whom the Bell Tolls".
