Warned by his boss that he has just one more chance to deliver, Harvey goes to London for a weekend to attend his daughter’s wedding but promises to be back on Monday morning to make an important meeting–or else. Harvey arrives in London only to learn his daughter has chosen to have her stepfather walk her down the aisle instead of him. Doing his best to hide his devastation, he leaves the wedding before the reception in hopes of getting to the airport on time, but misses his plane anyway. When he calls his boss to explain, he is fired on the spot. Drowning his sorrows at the airport bar, Harvey strikes up a conversation with Kate, a slightly prickly, 40-something employee of the Office of National Statistics. Kate, whose life is limited to work, the occasional humiliating blind date and endless phone calls from her smothering mother, is touched by Harvey, who finds himself energized by her intelligence and compassion. The growing connection between the pair inspires both as they unexpectedly transform one another’s lives.

Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio are featured on the cover of the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly and the featured interview with both of them is just too adorable!

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Please — people have been wanting to see you two back together for over a decade. How scared were you to mess with that original magic?
LEONARDO DICAPRIO: Over the years, I would find myself stopping and saying, ”I don’t know if we should do this again.” And then I’d think, ”What are you, an idiot? Why wouldn’t I want to work with the best actress of her generation? Am I going to be prejudiced against a project just because Kate’s in it?” I think we both had been actively looking for something else to do together, but we fundamentally knew that we couldn’t tread on any sort of similar territory.

Which eliminates what?
DICAPRIO: Any type of love story imaginable. [Laughs]
WINSLET: Known to mankind!
DICAPRIO: So what we have here is a profoundly well-written, character-driven story about the dissolving of a relationship. Certainly in Kate’s character there’s that great pursuit not to have her life be predigested —
WINSLET: Predetermined.
DICAPRIO: Yes, better word. You’re right. Good one.
WINSLET: [Gagging] Oh, we’re so cute, we finish each other’s sentences. Cutesy, cutesy!

Fox is bringing Romancing the Stone to the big screen again, swinging into development a remake of the 1984 adventure movie and tapping Daniel McDermott to write it.

The original movie helped launch Robert Zemeckis as a director, turned Michael Douglas and Danny DeVito — then best known for their TV work — into film stars and established Kathleen Turner as a romantic lead.

Written by Diane Thomas, “Romancing” told the story of a repressed romance novelist who travels to Colombia to find her missing sister only to meet up with an American soldier of fortune. The two embark on a cross-country adventure involving a map, a jewel and a private police force. Thomas wrote the script while working as a waitress in Malibu. It turned out to be her only produced screenplay; she died in a car crash the year after the film’s release.

W.T.F mate, I keep hearing all these amazing things about the film and yet people are just not feeling it, not even in Australia!

It may be the most expensive and ambitious film ever made Down Under, and it certainly received saturation media coverage, but Baz Luhrmann’s “Australia” isn’t breaking records in Oz.

Then again, how it holds will be the real test. Fox execs are hoping that, as the movie heads into its second weekend, it will have legs like Luhrmann’s 2001 “Moulin Rouge.”

“Australia” mustered a strong but not stellar A$7.8 million ($4.9 million) in its five-day opening weekend, which kicked off on Wednesday.
