IS this the Titanic version of General Grant?

If I were doing a young Grant I'd use Matthew Mcconaughey with a beard. If I were doing an older Grant I'd use Russell Crowe. DiCaprio looks nothing like him. [8|]

No, its the Titanic meets Wolf of Wall Street version of General Grant

Leonardo isn't playing Grant

[Rebel Yell]

Bad enough that he's producing it.

Greetings Challerain,
Current word is that he is to play Grant but production is on hold (see link):

I am a 25 minute ride from Grant's house and have seen it.

Greetings Rebel Yell,
You may be right but it is a docu-drama rather than a full featured movie.

Not really what is says. Rumors were that he would play Grant in the film but that is on hold. The docu-series is something else.

I don't like him but for reasons that go beyond the scope of this BBS. He's a great actor and probably a good director. His Howard Hughes acting was fantastic, I really enjoyed that movie. He'll do a good job of it. He's really good at what he does.

If you want, I script the scenario![:D]

[t001001001]

heh

[ringoblood]

WOOT, Finally something up my alley, CIVIL WAR BABY[8D][&o]. On a side note, he is a good actor I think he do good at the job, if he directors well, I don't know if his Civil war history is up to par, but his other movies aren't to bad, but i'll hold my judgement, I'm just so happy thereis a CIVIL WAR POST FINALLY.

Greetings Again All,
Steven Spielberg's choice to direct Leonard DiCaprio in Grant Biopic:

The History Channel is now running very short (45-90 seconds) spots for the Grant miniseries, usually in the afternoon/evening commercial breaks.
One shows Grant on horseback w/cigar.

I never saw such a clear picture of a Grant tank before. Man, that looks like death trap.., high profile, zero armor slope.

The Russians didn't call their lend-lease versions "a grave for seven brothers" for nothing...

They worked great for awhile in the Western Desert, then they worked great in Burma. But riveting armour is not a good idea.
