Titanic Lovebirds Reunite
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Adaptation, Drama, Period
For those who had always hoped to see Jack and Rose finally happy, you will now get your chance. Well—okay, maybe not happy...but at least they’ll be married. Ten years after their heart-breaking voyage on the doomed Titanic, Kate Winslet and Leo DiCaprio are slated to begin filming together again this summer.
The movie, titled Revolutionary Road, is about a seemingly happy couple’s struggle to conform in the 1950’s. The film is an adaptation of the book by Richard Yates.
Kate’s husband, director Sam Mendes (American Beauty), will be taking the helm. This will be the first time Winslet (or DiCaprio) has paired with him.
