EXCLUSIVE: Perhaps no film on his list of narrative star vehicles has subject matter as near and dear to Leonardo DiCaprio as Don’t Look Up, the star studded Adam McKay-directed Netflix satire that substitutes a metaphorical meteor in place of the toll that the climate crisis is taking on the planet. Since his Oscar-winning turn in The Revenant, DiCaprio has done in-person Deadline interviews for all his awards season films. Because of Omicron, this one was done by phone. Here, DiCaprio assessed everything from awards season to moviegoing in the age of Covid, and yes, the real danger of global warming for those who missed the symbolism.
DEADLINE: Compare this awards season to ones you’ve been part of for most of your films.
LEONARDO DICAPRIO: Well, it’s been a lot more efficient and a lot easier in a lot of ways. The traveling around for publicity completely stopped. We did a little bit…we did a premier in New York and that got shut down because Omicron was rising. But we all got to get together and have one sort of celebration, and we got to watch it in an audience, which was a great experience. I got to tell you, being able to watch these movies in the theater, there’s nothing like it. Really nothing like it.
DEADLINE: When might this go back to normal, or will there be a new normal with theatrical and streaming?
DICAPRIO: Without making a giant stance on all this, there’s obviously pros and cons to both. The pros being that I do feel like a lot of interesting ideas from the documentary perspective, from the limited series perspective, and from the independent film perspective, are getting financed. The flip side, how many people are actually going to the theater to not see major franchise films? That is very questionable
