This may be old news, and of limited interest, but is still connected to LOTM (sorry I can't get on the site often enough to keep up!). This was a "news-flash" sent to me via e-mail from an entertainment site:
LEO SIGNS ON FOR AN ECCENTRIC ROLE: Leonardo DiCaprio has signed with Disney to play the late Howard Hughes in a film directed by Michael Mann. According to Variety, John Logan will draft a screenplay about the eccentric billionaire. Another Hughes biopic, starring Johnny Depp, is in development at rival studio Universal.
