Warner Bros have released the first image of Leonardo DiCaprio in Ridley Scott's Body of Lies. Based on the novel by David Ignatius, the film tells of a former journalist roped in by the CIA to help hunt an Al Qaeda leader in Jordan. The film, which also stars Russell Crowe and Carice Van Houten, is currently still shooting. That's the official bit out of the way. Now, are we the only ones who think that after this DiCaprio should leap straight into a biopic of the early life of Inside The Actor's Studio's James Lipton? They're identical.

Don't doubt the picture
I think it actually suits Leonardo Di Caprio, it actually makes him look older than his current age of 33 and I also agree that he does look like McCauley. I don't agree that this will be like all other polictal thrillers as the talent on board should make this an Oscar winning film with some oscar talent. Also, isn't oscar winner William Monahan writing the script for this. Should be an early oscar contender ... Read More umer_ejaz About me

I just hope Scott rediscovers his visual panache after the lacklustre American Gangster, in which he seems to have thought to only get credit as an actor's director if he tones down his visuals to the extent of them becoming stylistically irrelevant. Nobody's got eyes like R. Scott, so he better use them! ... Read More Manfrendshensindshen About me
