Leonardo DiCaprio to be Vladimir Lenin?

Leonardo DiCaprio is reportedly in talks to play Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin in a new movie.

The Titanic star is said to be in negotiations to take on the leading role in forthcoming film Lenin’s Brain, according to The Sun newspaper.

The picture will be directed by Russian moviemaker Alexander Der Borodyansky, who insists the actor is perfect for the part because of his striking physical resemblance to the communist politician, who died in 1924.
