Did you know that Kate Winslet almost starred in the feature film “Les Infiltrés”, broadcast this Thursday evening on France 3? His cult duet of “Titanic” with Leonardo DiCaprio would have been reconstituted!
What if Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet had found themselves nine years after Titanic, in front of Martin Scorsese’s camera? Are you surprised? However, this seductive collaboration almost materialized for the feature film Les Infiltrés, broadcast this Thursday evening on France 3!
Originally, Martin Scorsese wanted to entrust the main female role of the Departed to a renowned actress. And Kate Winslet, like Hilary Swank, was among the stars approached. But as production progressed, the filmmaker decided instead to turn to a lesser-known actress: it was Vera Farmiga, then seen in the credits, in particular, of 15 minutes and A crime in the head, who was finally chosen. for the role of Madeleine.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, however, will not wait too long for a reunion on the big screen. The two Hollywood stars have indeed given the reply again in 2009 in The Rebellious Weddings, under the direction of Sam Mendes.

In addition to Kate Winslet, the feature film could indeed have seen Robert De Niro and Brad Pitt integrate the distribution in the roles of Frank Costello and Collin Sullivan, finally held on screen by Jack Nicholson and Matt Damon.
