Bells Toll For Leonardo DiCaprio

Golden Globe-winner Leonardo DiCaprio is in talks to star in a Warner remake of Sam Wood's 1943 For Whom the Bell Tolls based on Ernest Hemingway's novel.

The 30-year-old actor and producer is to be the next to say the famous line: "A man fights for what he believes in, Fernando!", as he may portray Robert Jordan, the young expatriate, who has been given a high-risk assignment up in the mountains, after he had joined an anti-fascist Spanish militia.

Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman co-stared in the 1943 movie, that Sam Wood directed on Dudley Nichols's script based on Hemingway's novel, derived from the writer's own exploits.

Leonardo DiCaprio, who is currently shooting for Martin Scorsese's new film "the Departed", has to prepare for Ed Zwick's "The Blood Diamond" project, scheduled for an early 2006 shoot, according to Variety.
DiCaprio plays a smuggler who trades diamonds used to finance rebellions, privateers and terrorists.
