The phenomenal onscreen couple is back, at last. Yes, Leonardo DiCaprio
and Kate Winslet will stand together again in one frame for the first
time after their appearance in James Cameron's 1997 mega-hit work
"Titanic."

Variety has reported that the twosome has signed on to be the leadstars
in "Revolutionary Road", which will be produced under DreamWorks Pictures
banner. Winslet's husband Sam Mendes is on duty to direct as well as
produce alongside John N. Hart, Scott Rudin, and Bobby Cohen in
association with BBC Films.

Presenting a theme of post-war disillusionment, the picture is actually
an adaptation of Richard Yates' acclaimed 1961 novel of the same title,
which centers on a seemingly happy suburban couple in the mid-1950s who
find themselves caught between their true desires and the pressure to
conform -- with explosive consequences. Filming will begin this summer
using an adapted screenplay by "The Clearing" scribe Justin Haythe.
