LEO DROPS OUT OF MEL MOVIE!- Leonardo DiCaprio has withdrawn from the new film about Vikings set to be directed by Mel Gibson. MTV News is reporting that sources close to Leo say he will not be starring in the flick because “Leo has earned the right to pick and choose who he works with,” and he chooses not to work with Mel Gibson. Check out more over at MTVNews.com. <AZ>
kp: LEO is in great place right now…Since, the move INCEPTION has done so well in the box office. Plus, he’s had great reviews worldwide. I don’t think he really wants the negative wraft of Gibsons bad press to affect him in anyway. I believe unfortunately for Gibson that Leo’s decision is the best thing to do right now, professionally speaking. You know that any movie or project that Gibson might be involved with these days will just be placed under scrutiny.
