Their romance in Titanic was one for the record books. Now Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio are getting to canoodle once again in Revolutionary Road. The above pic is part of the poster for the film, which has popped up over at USA Today. The guy died too quickly last time, and thus we never got to see what the future had in store for Jack and Rose. So now we get Frank and April -- a young, successful couple in the '50s, who move to France and watch things crumble. Man, it's so much more hopeful when they die young. Now this whole ordeal could be sending Winslet right into the world of Erica Jong and Fear of Flying.

Yay! After waiting months for that elusive deal to finalize, The Hollywood Reporter posts that Oscilloscope Pictures has picked up Kurt Kuenne's Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son about His Father. The theatrical release will begin in New York on October 31. Go see it. Please. Don't read anything more. Just go.

In other Big Apple news, Yahoo has got a trailer up for Synecdoche, New York, which I'm dying to see. Besides growing up near Schenectady, where part of the film takes place, it's Charlie Kaufman's directorial debut. And it also has a mind-boggling, a-mazing cast.

Finally a little bit for the rumor hounds -- EW says that now Jude Law might play Dr. Watson in Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes. (Not Colin Farrell or Russell Crowe.) Robert Downey Jr. and Law -- interesting... What do you think?

In 2001, when I slipped into my seat to check out a Fringe adaptation of Fear of Flying, I could never in my wildest dreams have imagined that Raven, the Satanist stylist that I saw in Cecil B. Demented the year before would, or might, play Isadora Wing, the betrothed woman sick of her husband and ruing the institution of marriage while thinking: "What was it about marriage anyway? Even if you loved your husband, there came that inevitable year when f---ing him turned as bland as Velveeta cheese: filling, fattening even, but no thrill to the taste buds, no bittersweet edge, no danger. And you longed for an overripe Camembert, a rare goat cheese: luscious, creamy, cloven-hoofed."

Although the project has been in development hell for decades, new rumors suggest that it will finally come to the screen, with Maggie Gyllenhaal embodying the woman in search of the "Zipless F-ck." I have to say that she's probably the best choice of the young actresses out there today. She definitely has a long and varied background in risque themes, and she won't have to try to wipe away flighty roles to try and make us take her seriously. Because, if there is anything worse than bringing a classic to the screen, it's stripping away that which made the work valuable and leaving a glossy, superfluous movie that misses the mark. According to the latest murmurings, Diane English, best known for writing a slew of Murphy Brown episodes, will both write and direct the adaptation, taking over for Julia Phillips who tried to get the project up and running for years before her death in 2002. If this comes to be, we probably won't hear much more until next year, as English is currently working on an adaptation of The Women, with big names like Anne Hathaway, Candice Bergen and Meg Ryan rumored to star.
