Nicholson tossed the book to Leonardo, "I'm just being nice, you should marry Lorraine."
Martin couldn't be bothered with him and responded with a raised middle finger.
The film adaptation of this novel was no issue when it came to investment for Leonardo's Pave Road Entertainment; as long as Leonardo was billed as the lead, all the big studios would be clamoring to get a piece.
Nowadays in Hollywood, there were hardly any superstars worth mentioning.
Even at his peak, Johnny Depp could only claim dominion in "Pirates of the Caribbean," and once he stepped away from the pirate's shelter, he immediately lost his magic.
Will Smith, for the past few years, focused solely on promoting his son; with the obvious outcome being that he no longer had the prestige from the first decade of the new millennium.
Brad Pitt could still be considered a superstar, albeit only in the San Fernando Valley.
As for Robert Downey Jr., he seemed more like an accessory to Iron Man in the real world.
