HOLLYWOOD - Leonard DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, who played ill-starred lovers in the 1997 smash "Titanic," are reuniting for "Revolutionary Road," a drama about post-war disillusionment, Hollywood trade paper Daily Variety reported on Friday.
The producers faced one big hurdle -- explaining how Leo, frozen to death in the icy waters of the North Atlantic at the conclusion of "Titanic," could come back to life.
"That was simple," said Winslet's husband, director Sam Menedes. "Leo's body floats up a stream to the waters of the Carpathian Mountains; Kate follows him in her row boat, working furiously against gravity, but then somehow she bumps her head. The blood seeps into the ice, right into Leo's lips. Leo sucks the blood and comes back to life. Well, see, turns out Leo's a vampire."
The producers are hoping the film appeals to the same discerning young female audience that made "Titanic" a blockbuster.
