Greetings to All,
History Channel will have a 3 part mini series on Civil War with DiCaprio playing General Grant:

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

Bad enough that he's producing it.

Greetings warspite1,
Good one!

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]

heh

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.
