The New On Sunday.


Leonardo Dicaprio no longer on course to play Steve Jobs.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Leonardo Dicaprio has pulled out of Aaron Sorkin's Jobs biopic, claiming that the actor aims to take a long break from acting after his upcoming slate which extends to 2015.
After many months of speculation, it seems that The Wolf Of Wall Street star, will not grace our screens as the late Apple co-founder. Many hoped that the project would reunite Dicaprio with The Beach director Danny Boyle, whom has been preparing the project.
The untitled project has been in the pipeline for some time, and at first it looked as though producers had sealed David Fincher -who has worked with Sorkin on 2010's The Social Network- with Christian Bale in the lead role. However, supposed disagreements over pay, meant that a deal with Fincher could not be finalised.
With no Christian Bale, and no Leonardo Dicaprio, who will take on the role as the infamous Steve Jobs.


Pheonix Is No Longer Marvel Sorcerer Supreme.

In another story that centres around a lead actor no longer participating in a upcoming project, the Walk The Line star, Joaquin Pheonix has turned down to the opportunity to play the lead role in Marvel's 2016 Doctor Strange project.
The Oscar nominated star was meant to be in deep negotiations around the time of 2014's Comic Con, with a deal set to be completed in the foreseeable future. However, due to unknown reason those talks have broken down leaving Marvel with out a leading man for a major part of their phase three section of films.
This has raised major questions as too who will take on the role of sorcerer supreme. With rumours circulating associating actors such as , Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch,  Dark Knight Rises actor Thomas Hardy and Training Day star Ethan Hawke to the role.
However, in my opinion, I would love to see motion capture icon Andy Surkis dawn the rains of Dr Strange. My idea may not be as far fetched as it first seems, as Surkis has been given a cameo in Avengers: Age of Ultron, and his upcoming slate seems to have a convenient gap in between Star Wars Episode Seven and 2016's Jungle Book which Surkis is directing.
