Daytime Soap Operas: Santa Barbara

The exposé film, currently in post-production, reunites Roth and Appian Way, who previously collaborated on the shark-finning doc Fin, which contributed to the shutdown of shark kill tournaments along the East Coast of the U.S.

As a “spiritual follow-up” to Fin, Death Boom “pulls back the curtain on the catastrophic mental and environmental impacts of the contemporary death care industry. The film, shown through the lens of the workers at the heart of it as they prepare for the passing of 77 million baby boomers, exposes the toll that embalming, cremation, and traditional burial have on those who’ve passed, their families, and deathcare workers, and the corruption – political, religious, and corporate – that stands in opposition to greener methods being nationally legalized and accessible.”

The synopsis continues: “The film ultimately shows what is possible if these green methods are put into wider practice, and works toward normalizing conversations around death and grief.”

Along with producing, Roth narrates the documentary and appears on camera, as does Chandler. Oscar winner DiCaprio, riding high with awards darling One Battle After Another, produces with Jennifer Davisson and Phillip Watson for Appian Way (Killers Of The Flower Moon). Raymond Mansfield and Sean McKittrick serve as producers for QC Entertainment and Edward H. Hamm, Jr as an executive producer.

Get Out and BlacKkKlansman outfit QC Entertainment fully financed the project and will represent the film alongside WME Independent.

“Jessica Chandler and I have wanted to make this film for over twenty years, since she first told me about the environmental horrors of the death care industry and how avoiding death as a subject makes us complicit. We spent years finding brave people willing to speak on camera, revealing the poisoning of our bodies and land that contaminates our water, air, and food,” said Roth.

He continued: “We aimed to show the issue from all sides, without blame or shame, and to present clear solutions that already exist but are blocked by those invested in maintaining the current system for profit. Made entirely in secrecy, the film will shock and inspire. This is not an attack on an industry, but an effort to understand how we got here and how we can move forward together to protect future generations. Jessica and her team did incredible work, and we hope the film galvanizes people to take control of their own death.”

“We are incredibly proud to reunite with Eli Roth and join forces with the visionary team at QC Entertainment to bring Jessica Chandler’s urgent work to the screen,” said President of Appian Way, Jennifer Davisson.

She continued: “At Appian Way, we are drawn to stories that empower us to look at the systems we’ve long taken for granted and challenge them through our filmmaking. Death Boom is a crucial exploration of a crisis that is as much about environmental preservation as it is about human dignity, and we are honored to join a conversation that we can no longer avoid.”

QC partners McKittrick, Mansfield and Hamm commented: “Death Boom is exactly the kind of urgent, unflinching storytelling we built QC Entertainment to champion – work that grips you, stays with you, and sparks a conversation. Jessica has made a powerful documentary that confronts the real costs of how we handle death in America while illuminating solutions that already exist. We’re proud to partner with Eli Roth and Appian Way to bring a film that replaces taboo with truth – and shows what’s possible when better options are made accessible – to audiences.”

Leonardo DiCaprio Ties Daniel Day-Lewis, Michael Caine and Laurence Olivier for Most BAFTA Best Actor Nominations

Leonardo DiCaprio has joined an elite group of names who have each earned a record seven BAFTA best actor nominations. In doing so he’s also broken a record himself, becoming the youngest to reach that figure.

Following the BAFTA Film Awards nominations on Tuesday, DiCaprio was, perhaps unsurprisingly, listed in the leading actor category for “One Battle After Another.” But his seventh nomination — after “The Aviator,” “The Departed,” “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “The Revenant” (for which he won), “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and “Don’t Look Up” — puts him among some esteemed company.

Only six other actors have achieved this feat, including Daniel Day-Lewis, Michael Caine, Laurence Olivier, Jack Lemmon, Peter Finch and Dustin Hoffman. And at 51, DiCaprio is now the youngest to hit the magical number of seven (Hoffman was 52 when he was nominated for “Rain Man”).

On home soil in the U.S., where DiCaprio was Oscar-nominated last week for “One Battle After Another,” he also now has seven best actor nominations, plus a supporting actor nod for “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.” And there he’s also won one, for “The Revenant.”

It should be noted that, when it comes to BAFTA best actress nominations, the achievements of DiCaprio, Day-Lewis, Caine and all pale in comparison to Meryl Streep, who holds that record with 12 nominations.

As for BAFTA nominations across all the performance categories, Streep and Judi Dench tie with 15 each. Dench, meanwhile, goes home with the top crown for most wins, with six.

Leonardo DiCaprio Hits Rare Air With 8th Oscar Nom, Talks Props, Viral Moments, Validation Of Studio Risk-Taking & ‘One Battle After Another’

This marks the eighth overall nomination for DiCaprio, who won Best Actor for The Revenant. It puts him in the company of eight other actors to be nominated for at least seven Oscars, a group that includes Ingrid Bergman, Jeff Bridges, Richard Burton, Robert Duvall, Jane Fonda, Greer Garson, Dustin Hoffman and DiCaprio’s Titanic costar Kate Winslet.

His six Best Actor nominations tie him with Burton and Daniel Day-Lewis for most all time.

DiCaprio spoke this morning with Deadline. As usual, his focus was not on himself but rather his Oscar-nominated castmates on One Battle After Another and writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson. It was also about the reminder that sometimes when you take risks and swing for the fences from your heels, you hit home runs.

While Warner Bros leaders Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy were unfairly shackled with risks taken on One Battle After Another and Sinners, they are looking pretty smart today: those films got a total of 29 nominations at a time when specialty labels and not studios rule the awards circuit.

One Battle After Another’s release has been a momentum builder, transitioning from theaters to streaming at an optimal time. I tell DiCaprio this is a movie that lends itself better than many to repeat viewings, where you can focus on different performances, action, and great dialogue each time.

“That is the ultimate compliment for this film,” DiCaprio told Deadline. “Having watched the film that way a multitude of times myself, I feel it’s a testament to the incredible amount of thought that Paul put into this story. When films take on a different meaning or a different pathos, you feel you can take a side road into any of these small characters’ lives because they are all so fully fulfilled and hashed out with real identities. To me, it really is original filmmaking and a really multifaceted world, about a subject that is so pertinent to the world we’re living in, and the confusion of the world we’re living in, and the hostility and the extremism. Paul made one of those films that I’m going to be so proud to look back. I feel like he really put his thumb on the pulse of America right now. I hope it will be remembered that way, and lives on for years to come. And it’s all a testament to Paul’s writing and what he wanted to say about who we are right now.”

There are only five nominations in each Oscar category except Best Picture, and somebody’s going to be left out. DiCaprio, Benicio Del Toro, Sean Penn and Teyana Taylor all got nods. Acting in her first major feature, Chase Infiniti did not.

“Chase was the heart and soul of this movie,” DiCaprio said. “And she’s going to have an incredible career ahead of her. She really carried this film, especially it being her first role in a feature film. I couldn’t have been more proud of her and the integrity and the intensity and the leadership that she brought to that character. As for the others, what can I say? I got to work with an all-star cast. I was incredibly fortunate to work with so many people that I’ve looked up to for years in this industry, and it was an incredible experience.

“To work on this film with Paul and just to collaborate on a film that just feels so topical, man, it’s unbelievable,” DiCaprio said. “It has been so cool to be a part of this band, when you go out in the world and are able to talk about a film that you’re truly proud of. With actors that you’re so proud to work with and a story that you feel is important. We’ve been doing it for the past year, and there’s an ease to talking about something that you have such a genuine love and pride for. And that’s how I feel about this movie.”

I tell him that it seems only a matter of time that the Academy Museum comes knocking for the bathrobe DiCaprio’s Bob Ferguson character wears for the entire film, and the karate pants Del Toro wore throughout.

“I guess they’ll come for those, and that tracking device,” he said, adding that he doesn’t have any of that stuff. “When I make a movie, I always look at the props and wonder, what might be the memorable symbol of some of these films? And I guess you nailed it.”

Unlike like his Killers of the Flower Moon co-star Robert De Niro, DiCaprio doesn’t have the hoarder gene and couldn’t remember anything special he took from the job. So no, the bathrobe isn’t hanging in his closet.

“It’s gotten harder to get those props out of the studios, man. They go right into the vault. I can’t think of anything I have that is that memorable. Bob, he keeps everything.”

DiCaprio will next star with Jennifer Lawrence in the Martin Scorsese-directed What Happens at Night, as Michael Mann continues work on Heat 2, the crime classic sequel. Last time Deadline spoke with DiCaprio, he was weighing whether to play Vincent Hanna (the role originated by Al Pacino) or Chris Shiherlis (Val Kilmer) and their continuing adventures.

I tried to pry out details on that and his Golden Globes viral moment, and he shut down like the door of a studio prop vault.

As for his animated Golden Globes moment that went viral to the point lip readers were speculating on who he was speaking to, and whether the subject was KPop Demon Hunters? He felt no need to elaborate.

“It was directed to a friend, but at the end of the day, who knows if this other person that I was talking to wants me to even mention their name? So, as the lead character says in A Bronx Tale, I’m not a rat.”

Leonardo DiCaprio, Appian Way Principals Board Urgent Documentary ‘The Lake’ Ahead Of Film’s Sundance World Premiere

The film directed by Abby Ellis (Flint’s Deadly Water) investigates “a looming environmental nuclear bomb” in the festival’s backyard: “Beneath the drying lakebed of Great Salt Lake lies a toxic reservoir of heavy metals – arsenic, lead, mercury, and more – poised to become airborne, endangering the millions of people living in the metropolitan region of Utah called the Wasatch Front.”

The Lake, from Sandbox Films, Ibis Films, Little Monster Films and Cranium Productions, premieres on the opening day of Sundance next Thursday, January 22. Abby Ellis and Fletcher Keyes produce the film which explores the potential catastrophe in Utah “and the bold scientists and politicians working to avoid disaster.”

“Blending the mystical and the pragmatic, The Lake pushes beyond traditional environmental storytelling,” notes a release. “This isn’t just about saving a lake—it’s about reckoning with our own complicity. The film asks: What is your role when catastrophe looms? Where do the lines get drawn—and who dares to cross them? And in the film’s most arresting moments, it asks the ultimate question: Can we save ourselves from ourselves?”

In a statement, director-producer Ellis said, “I was drawn to this story because Utah is my home, and the stakes couldn’t be higher, but it was the characters in our film who captivated me. For over three years, I’ve felt every bit of hope and dismay that comes with watching people fight to save something you love. The experience has been both frustrating and scary, but at the same time, inspiring.”

Ellis added, “What’s happening in Utah is a microcosm for so many environmental stories around the world. Having the support of Appian Way and Leo, Jennifer and Phillip will only help enhance our reach with this incredibly timely and relevant story, and we are thrilled to have them join our incredible team.”

“Abby’s work resonated with us instantly, and we knew immediately we needed to be a part of the journey to bring this powerful film to Sundance,” commented Davisson, Appian Way’s president of production. “It reflects the ethos of Appian Way and our desire to support important and urgent environmental stories. We hope audiences not only respond to this pivotal documentary but also look inward and work together on sustainable solutions in their own communities.”

In addition to Thursday’s world premiere, The Lake will screen on Jan. 23 in Salt Lake City, and on Jan. 28, 29, and Feb. 1 in Park City.

“An environmental nuclear bomb looms in Utah,” writes the Sundance festival program. “Two intrepid scientists and a political insider race the clock to save their home from unprecedented catastrophe.”

The festival continues, “Urgency emanates from this sober record that local Utah filmmaker Abby Ellis logs in human history — a chapter of monumental ecological and social consequence unfolding in our shared home. Intertwining the inextricable fates of the Great Salt Lake and the millions of people who live, work, and travel surrounding it, Ellis achieves an existential scope that is both terrifying and motivating, wrought with divinity and doom. Balancing beautifully the perspectives, burdens, contributions, and challenges of Utah’s top political leaders, agricultural providers, and scientific thinkers, The Lake captures the intricate complexity that binds these communities together. In tackling this epic tale about the power and responsibility of knowledge and how to disseminate it, Ellis is a responsible, constructive steward of her lineage both as a Utahn and an environmental filmmaker.”

Along with DiCaprio, Davisson, and Watson, the film’s executive producers include Jessica Harrop, Caitlin Mae Burke, Chai Vasarhelyi, Anna Barnes, Jimmy Chin, Geralyn White Dreyfous, Heather Kahlert, and Rachel Crane.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn & Benicio Del Toro To Receive Hammond Cinema Vanguard Award At Santa Barbara Film Festival

Pete Hammond will be moderating the tribute for the award, which recognizes the trio of actors for their contributions to the much-honored film in which they star alongside Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor and Chase Infiniti. Their acclaimed roles as Bob (DiCaprio), Col. Steven J. Lockjaw (Penn) and Sensei Sergio St. Carlos (Del Toro) have helped catapult the film to the forefront of the awards conversation this season. One Battle After Another is the most nominated Golden Globes contender with nine, including individual noms for DiCaprio, Penn and Del Toro, and it just won three Critics Choice Awards including Best Picture. It has also been named Best Picture of the Year by the Gotham Awards, The National Board of Review, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, the New York Film Critics Circle and other groups.

“This is by far the most exciting tribute in SBIFF history,” Durling said. “These three artists individually have regaled us with exemplary and unforgettable performances, and together, they have made one of the best films, One Battle After Another. Let’s rejoice.”

From Warner Bros. Pictures, One Battle After Another follows Bob (DiCaprio), a washed-up revolutionary who exists in a state of stoned paranoia, surviving off the grid with his spirited, self-reliant daughter, Willa (Infiniti). When his evil nemesis (Penn) resurfaces after 16 years and Willa goes missing, the former radical scrambles to find her as father and daughter battle the consequences of his past.

DiCaprio is an Oscar-winning actor, producer and activist whose career spans more than three decades. He has received seven Academy Award nominations, six BAFTA nominations, 13 Screen Actors Guild nominations and 15 Golden Globe nominations, winning the Academy Award, Golden Globe, and BAFTA for Best Actor for his performance in Alejandro Gonzáles Iñárritu’s The Revenant. DiCaprio has earned acclaim for roles in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Wolf of Wall Street, Inception, The Great Gatsby, and Django Unchained, as well as through his long-standing collaboration with director Martin Scorsese on films including The Aviator, The Departed, Gangs of New York, Shutter Island and Killers of the Flower Moon. He began his film career in the early 1990s with standout performances in This Boy’s Life and What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, earning his first Academy Award nomination for the latter. In addition to acting, DiCaprio co-founded Appian Way with Jennifer Davisson, producing acclaimed features and impactful documentaries focused on environmental issues, including Path of the Panther, Yanuni and Virunga. In 2021, his foundation unified with Global Wildlife Conservation, combining to launch Re:wild, which works with over 600 partners in more than 80 countries to help protect more than 35,000 species of wildlife and half a billion acres of the wild.

Penn is a two-time Oscar-winning actor, filmmaker, and author whose career spans more than four decades. As an actor, he has received five Academy Award nominations, winning Best Actor for Mystic River and Milk. Over the course of his career, he has been honored by the Cannes, Berlin and Venice film festivals, as well as the Golden Globes, SAG Awards and major critics’ groups. His extensive filmography includes Dead Man Walking, Sweet and Lowdown, I Am Sam, 21 Grams, The Thin Red Line, The Tree of Life, Carlito’s Way, The Game, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High. As a filmmaker, Penn has directed features including Into the Wild, The Indian Runner, The Crossing Guard, The Pledge and Flag Day and co-directed the Emmy-nominated documentary Superpower. Through his company Projected Picture Works, he recently produced September 5, which earned PGA and Golden Globe Best Picture nominations and an Academy Award nomination for Best Screenplay. A longtime humanitarian and civil rights advocate, Penn founded CORE (Community Organized Relief Effort) in 2010, which continues to provide disaster relief worldwide. He also also received the Modern Master Award at the 2002 SBIFF when he was on the awards circuit with I Am Sam.

Del Toro is an Oscar-winning actor celebrated for a body of work defined by range, intensity and critical acclaim. He won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for Steven Soderbergh’s Traffic and received a nomination for Iñárritu’s 21 Grams. His portrayal of Che Guevara in Soderbergh’s Che won him the Best Actor prize at the Cannes Film Festival and Spain’s Goya Award. Del Toro’s extensive filmography includes The Usual Suspects, Basquiat, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Sicario and Sicario: Day of the Soldado, Inherent Vice, Snatch, Sin City, Things We Lost in the Fire and Star Wars: The Last Jedi, as well as television work such as Escape at Dannemora, which earned him an Emmy nomination. Recent projects include Netflix’s Reptile, which he also executive produced, Soderbergh’s No Sudden Move, and Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme.

The Cinema Vanguard Award recognizes actors who have forged their own path, taking artistic risks and making a significant and unique contribution to film. Previous honorees include Adrian Brody & Guy Pearce, Paul Giamatti, Colin Farrell & Brendan Gleeson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Carey Mulligan, Laura Dern, Michael B. Jordan, Willem Dafoe, Casey Affleck & Michelle Williams, Rooney Mara, Eddie Redmayne & Felicity Jones, Martin Scorsese & Leonardo DiCaprio, Amy Adams, Jean Dujardin & Berenice Bejo, Nicole Kidman, Peter Sarsgaard, Christoph Waltz, Vera Farmiga, Kristin Scott Thomas, Stanley Tucci and Ryan Gosling.

The 41st Santa Barbara International Film Festival will take place February 4-14.

One Accolade After Another: Leonardo DiCaprio Is Time’s Entertainer Of The Year

The 102-year-old mag honored the Oscar winner and seven-time nominee for his acclaimed performance in One Battle After Another, the revolt-themed actioner that has become filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson’s highest-grossing movie.

DiCaprio, who won the Bast Actor Oscar for 2015’s The Revenant, is back in the thick of the awards races for his portrayal of an washed-up ex-revolutionary who now exists in a state of stoned paranoia — until his former nemesis (Sean Penn) resurfaces after 16 years. And the battles begin.

“I’ve been thinking a lot about how often there have been truly original story ideas like this, with no link to anything historical, no past characters, no genre, no vampires, no ghosts, no anything,” DiCaprio told Time of why he cares so deeply about One Battle After Another (see the full interview here). “It was somewhat risky for the studio to take this on, and what they’re banking on, I think, is the appeal of Paul’s storytelling and the sort of fierce originality of his process.”

DiCaprio on Monday added a Golden Globe nomination to his already-impressive list of laurels for the film. Last week, he scored a Critics Choice Award nom to go with a National Board of Review win, a Desert Palm Achievement Award from the Palm Springs Film Festival and other hosannas. One Battle also is up for Best Film at the Globes and Critics Choice Awards to go with wins at the Gotham Awards and NBR and from the Los Angeles and New York Film Critics and more.

Time will reveal its Person of the Year on Thursday and its Breakthrough Artist and Athlete of the Year on Tuesday.
