So why would Warner Bros. leave a Leonardo DiCaprio project behind? He is one of the world’s leading A-list stars. Well, maybe director Doug Liman was right. At a recent Tribeca Film Fest conversation with actor Alec Baldwin, he dropped the following very telling anecdote: “I heard a story that Leonardo DiCaprio was pitching a film at Warner Bros. — and, y’know, he’s a big deal at Warner Bros. — and they cut him off halfway through the pitch and said, ‘Is this a drama? Because we don’t make dramas anymore. You might as well just save your breath.’” Damn, maybe the expensive WB flick “Sucker Punch” that bombed was the final straw?

I'd bet they'd accept a drama pitch from Nolan.

studios are really underestimating the public's interest in great dramas

All he needs is to collab with Tarantino and that kinda covers the top working directors. Damn impressive.
Check.
