Leo on Aquaman?
Buried in an otherwise interesting article about the state of DC Comics at the movies is a brief mention that Leonardo DiCaprio is producing a big-screen version of AQUAMAN for Warner Bros. Before you get too excited, DiCaprio is only attached to produce at this time and development is in the very early stages (they're "taking pitches" from writers). But in a time when GREEN LANTERN is finally moving ahead and other DC projects are moving ahead, it's possible we could see an AQUAMAN movie before we see another SUPERMAN movie.
It'll be hard to get an AQUAMAN movie taken seriously though with "Entourage" and "why don't you go talk to some fish?!" still fresh in everyone's brain. DiCaprio has been trying hard to get a fanboy friendly project off the ground (see: AKIRA) but hasn't had much luck.
Do you think AQUAMAN is worth adapting into a movie or would you rather Warner Bros. focus their attention on FLASH, SUPERMAN or another DC property?

Extra Tidbit: Marvel has similarly been trying to get a SUB-MARINER movie off the ground.

Throw in a truly menacing Black Manta, Atlantean society intrigue and infighting, insane action pieces containing whatever: great whites, killer whales, mutant sea creatures, Atlantean undersea battles, giant tidal waves, submarines, warships and even land based action. Aquaman can function on land as well. Whatever the script allows.
Add a little corporate pollution by Lexcorp to tie Aquaman to the rest of the DC universe a la Iron-Man. Most importantly, make Aquaman and those around him interesting. He doesn’t have to be brooding (done to death). Make him tough, give him a hard edge. Most forget that he has superhuman strength . This would make for a great brawl with some baddies.
Aquaman is such an under-appreciated character. Let’s hope some good writers change some people’s minds.

Anyway like Smiert Spionam said, it could test visual-fx artists to come up with something that could rival or superpass the James Cameron classic The Abyss.
As for Leo, he clearly seems to be a fan-boy so I guess its cool he's involved.

as far as aquaman's get up, have him loose his hand and have the spear/ hook in it's place and it's all good from there on out. also, go the eco terrorist route w/ him.

seriously though, can we just get that damn Superman movie off the ground? I'd like to see the one with an "older Superman"... and Dean Cain is just getting to that age!! i think he's the best Superman i've seen since 1990.
