Imagine "Titanic's" Jack and Rose all "growed up," now married and living in the American 'burbs in the 1950s.
The romantic parallels are unavoidable in Sam Mendes' "Revolutionary Road," based on Richard Yates' 1961 novel and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet as Frank and April Wheeler (pictured). But rather than two teenage star-crossed lovers, the Wheelers are frustrated Connecticut parents eager to flee their 9-to-5 commuter lives and pursue more inspired ambitions abroad.
In addition to a luminescent cast, Mendes has stacked his production team with Oscar regulars such as cinematographer Roger Deakins, editor Tariq Anwar and production designer Kristi Zea.
