Three from Cameron’s film already onboard
Gee, this Kate Winslet/Leonardo DiCaprio reunion really is turning into “Titanic 2” – now that Kathy Bates has also joined the cast.
Bates has signed on to re-team with her damp co-stars for Sam Mendes’ “Revolutionary Road” for DreamWorks, says The Hollywood Reporter.
David Harbour, Michael Shannon and Zoe Kazan also are boarding the 1950s-set drama, which revolves around a suburban Connecticut couple whose relationship deteriorates into an endless cycle of squabbling, jealousy and recriminations.
Justin Haythe adapted Richard Yates’ acclaimed 1961 novel, which was a finalist for the National Book Award.
Bates will play Mrs. Givings, who sells the couple their home and introduces them to the town. Harbour will play Shep Campbell, a neighbor. Shannon will play the son of Bates’ character. And Kazan will play Maureen, secretary of DiCaprio’s character, with whom she embarks on an affair.
