Ridley Scott and Leonardo DiCaprio Wake Up Sleeper

Sleeper
Sleeper
Brad Ingelsby is set to write the upcoming screenplay Sleeper for Warner Brothers. According to Variety, this adaptation of the DC/Wildstorm comic is set to star Leonardo DiCaprio and will be directed by Ridley Scott.

Sleeper centers on an operative whose fusion with an alien artifact makes him impervious to pain and allows him to pass it on to others through skin contact. He is placed undercover in a villainous organization by an intelligence agency and falls for a member of the group named Miss Misery. While DiCaprio replaces the previously attached Tom Cruise, Sam Raimi is still attached to the project as a producer.

At this time, the film does not have a concrete start date.

Sleeper was released in 2009.

    Fallen, that was kinda immature...

    Anyways, i'm not going to be calling u a f*g. I am however going to say ur a very ignorant human being. I know what ur gonna say: "U "gay bashed" me and ur calling ME ignorant?" I know u just brought up bee movie and bvc to piss us off, and it prob. looks like ur doing that, but u have to realize, i just like stating my opinion, and my opinion, which is prob. fact, is that u are really immature and arrogant. There was no point in bringing up bee movie and that crap other than to piss people off. It doesn't matter how much a movie makes. Body of lies might not have made much, but it was still fantastic.

    I can't believe ur a teacher, because a guy with an attitude and a mind set like urs that would resort to stupid tactics of mind games doesn't deserve to teach

    This information is incorrect!!! According to about 10 dozen other sources who made the same error, Ridley Scott and Leonardo DiCaprio will be re-teaming for Low Dweller, not Sleeper! Both movies will be written by Brad Ingelsby but apparently the article was a disaster and information got mixed around. There is always the possibility that they may decide to re-team for a third time, but at the moment I believe this is a mistake.

    I love the name calling. Bring it on. Because if that becomes the highlight of your day, that is pretty pathetic.

    I think it's also kinda funny that while Bee Movie beat out American Gangster last year, Beverly Hills Chihuahua beat out Body of Lies this year.

    This is better news, with Cruise no longer in it. I agree with Phil Mata's comment.

    Now that makes more sense. I've never read the comic, but all I knew was that I didn't wanna see Tom Cruise involved with aliens in another movie. His Psychotology beliefs would make it a bit strange to watch. I personally think DiCaprio's a better actor than Cruise and he looks more like the operative anyway.

    Look I've got nothing against Ridley Scott, he did afterall deliver one of my favorite movies, Alien. But lately it seems he just does anything and casts either Crowe or DiCaprio. Everytime a movie comes out with Crowe attached, Scott is involved somehow. And just about ALL of the films they do together are overrated and not too great at the box office either (with the exception of Galdiator and maybe American Gangster although it still did not perform to expectations, Bee Movie beat it out). So I am just throwing my opinion out there. I think Crowe is a bitch boy to Scott anymore.

    Leo seems to be a comic geek, starring and producing Akira as well

    Leo + Ridley = excellent. I've never read the comic, but this movie's got potential...wasn't tom cruise rumored to be playing this part?

    Moviemaniak, ur the last person to be calling anyone a "bitch boy."

    Crowe and Scott are a great team, and are good friend and mentor/student.
    I have a lot of faith in this film. Hope it does well.

    Leonardo + Ridley Scott = AWSOME MOVIE (again).
    Add in Russel Crowe {He might be 'Scott's bitch boy' but he's a great
    actor, and still knows how to kick ass} and this will be even better.

    $100 bucks says Crowe is in this film too. He is Scott's bitch boy.
