Audiences loved the on-screen chemistry of Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio in the blockbuster, “Titanic.” Now the infamous duo are re-teaming for new movie, “Revolutionary Road.” They play a couple in a failing marriage in 1960′s suburbia.
“We knew that if we were going to do something again, it had to be something big and emotional,” Winslet told Entertainment Weekly. She read the 1961 novel by Richard Yates years ago and pushed to have this book made into a movie.
”Revolutionary Road is so painful and beautiful to read, simply because of the brutality of the honesty that Frank and April end up experiencing together.”
It must have been awkward for her having these sex scenes with hottie Leo whiler her husband Sam Mendes was directing.
“I just kept saying, ‘This is too fucking weird,’” recalls Winslet. “And Leo was like, ‘Oh, get over it.’ And I’m going, ‘Yeah, a little reminder: You’re my best friend. He’s my husband. This is a bit weird. And Leo was like, ‘Oh, get over it.’ And I’m going, ‘Yeah, a little reminder: You’re my best friend. He’s my husband. This is a bit weird.”’
Mendes recalls:
”I will admit it was quite bizarre to direct my wife in how to make love. But it’s difficult whether you’re married to a person or not.”
