Leo’s Deep Blue

Leo DiCaprio’s calendar just got even more crowded, with an apparent agreement to headline THE DEEP BLUE GOODBYE for 20th Century Fox. Nothing to do with the super-computer, but with  a series of books each titled with a color. I wonder what’s the full title for Brown.

The project is based on the 21-entries strong Travis McGee series from John A. MacDonald, who’s also behind the base novel for CAPE FEAR. Leo would portray adventurer Travis McGee, a beach bum who offers his services as “salvage consultant” to pay the rent, in what is probably envisionned as a new franchise. Although DiCaprio doesn’t strike me as a sequels guy. Unless Martin Scorcese starts making them. Doubtful as well.

The film would probably be a welcomed change of pace for the actor who’s been dwelling in the heavy and dramatic for a years now. Nothing wrong with those, just lighten up once in a while. Do a Marvel or something. And leave Akira alone, please.
