Running towards the back of a ship with ya know 2,000 people around you screaming for their lives on a ship that looks exactly like the Titanic while its like going up in the air in hydraulics. You cant help but feel like you were really there. Lisa Canning: You and Kate the chemistry. . . Leonardo: The love story, I knew, was going to be what the audience was connected to, ya know. . . Lisa Canning: Yeah. Leonardo: I wanted to make that as realistic as possible. Mary Hart(voice): Kate was called on to pose naked in a scene which was a little awkward on the set. Leonardo: I think it was our first day of work if I remember correctly the poor girl had to ya know be completely naked in front of me ya know in front of the whole sort of crew. . . Lisa Canning: Oh boy. . . Leonardo: . . .and huh it was like jumping right into it ya know. Lisa Canning: Tell me about working in all that water. Leonardo: You get to be like a cat after a while you just dont want to get in there. Lisa Canning: Your director in fact said there were days where every time you knew you had to be into the water you were sick, is that true? Leonardo:(laughing) No. Mary Hart(voice): And after spending months on James Camerons soggy set Leonardo got his revenge. . . Leonardo: I got to dump a big thing of ice and water on Jims head in front of everybody after the movie was done. He didnt know who it was. He looked around, trying to search around and it was me and I. . .I got away scott free which was cool. ET Entertainment Tonight Fom the Anne Rice Website.... "Take care and remember if you want to see a genius flick, see THETITANIC. I say so on perfect faith at this point and that faith is in James Cameron and Leonardo DiCaprio. Leonardo as you know is the guy that I want desperatelyto play the Vampire Lestat. I mean desperately, and I have launched my one women campaign to see that that happens. I have no power. Warner Brothers have allthe power when it comes to Lestat. They have him in jail until the year 2000 at which time The Chronicles will revert back to me, and when that happens I want to doeverything I can to persuade Leonardo to play Lestat and to get the movies made. In the meantime lets be thankful we have James Cameron. Take care and loveeverybody and do leave me a message." |
