Romeo + Juliet (Baz Luhrmann, 1996) is the tenth American film adaptation of William Shakespeare's 1596 tragedy. The title roles were played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes. The film is a modern version of 'Romeo and Juliet'. Chases on foot have been replaced by car chases and swords by pistols, but the Shakespeare dialogues are authentic. Romeo + Juliet was nominated for an Oscar for Best Art Direction. More than 10 other film awards were given to the production, including the BAFTA Awards for Best Directing, Best Script and Best Production Design, the Silver Bear for Leonardo DiCaprio, and the award for Best Directing at the Berlin Film Festival.

Romeo + Juliet (Baz Luhrmann, 1996) is set in Los Angeles, in the fictional Verona Beach. Two great families, the Montagues, and the Capulets, are warring mafia empires with legitimate business fronts. The young men of the two feuding Montague and Capulet families get into fights at every opportunity, although the heads of the families urge moderation. After a petrol station goes up in flames during a shootout, the police give the families the ultimate warning to keep the peace from now on. Romeo, son of the Montague family, initially attends a costume party at the Capulet house without being recognized and meets the Capulet's daughter Juliet. They immediately fall in love, although they don't even know each other's names at first. After talking to each other during a secret dip in the pool, they decide to get married the very next day, thereby settling the long dispute between the two families. They find support from Juliet's nurse and Father Laurence, who marries them. Shortly afterwards, Romeo's friend Mercutio is killed by Juliet's cousin Tybalt in a quarrel. Romeo, who initially tried to de-escalate the situation, is furious. He pursues Tybalt and shoots him. He then seeks help from Father Laurence, who advises him to spend the night with Juliet, flee to Mantua in the early morning, and stay there until he receives news. Juliet's parents, who still know nothing about Romeo, have now arranged their daughter's wedding to the heartthrob Count Paris. When she resists, she is accused of ingratitude. Desperate, she also seeks advice from Father Laurence and receives a drug from him that will put her into a 24-hour death-like sleep to escape a forced marriage to Count Paris. Father Laurence immediately sends Romeo an express letter to Mantua to inform him of this plan. However, the letter cannot be delivered after two attempts.

Romeo + Juliet is the second film in Baz Luhrmann's Red Curtain trilogy. The other two are Strictly Ballroom (1992) and Moulin Rouge! (2001). The film was an international co-production involving principals from the United States, Mexico, Australia, and Canada. Kate Winslet auditioned for the role of Juliet. She did appear alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic (1997). Natalie Portman, then 14, had been cast as Juliet but, during rehearsals, it was thought that she looked too young for the part, and the footage looked as though DiCaprio (21) was "molesting" her. After Sarah Michelle Gellar turned down the role due to scheduling conflicts, DiCaprio proclaimed that Danes should be cast, as he felt she was genuine in her line delivery and did not try to impress him by acting flirtatious. Both Christian Bale and Ewan McGregor auditioned for the role of Mercutio, which eventually went to African-American actor Harold Perrineau. Romeo + Juliet was filmed in Mexico from January to April 1996. Mercutio's murder was filmed during a hurricane. The element of water has a special significance in this film. It symbolizes the purity of love between Romeo and Juliet. Both are seen underwater in various scenes, they see each other for the first time through an aquarium and kiss in the pool. The purity of this love is destroyed by Tybalt's death in a fountain. One of the reasons the film has become famous is because of the specially modified vehicles and weapons. The modified automatic pistols are based on the Beretta 92FS model and its licensed version Taurus PT92 or PT96 as well as the Colt Combat Commander, a variant of the Colt 1911. The engraved names were then adapted to the original of Shakespeare's version. Thus, the firearms are called Dagger, Sword, or Rapier, each with the corresponding caliber information. Romeo + Juliet is the third major film version of the play, following adaptations by George Cukor in 1936 and by Franco Zeffirelli in 1968. The film, produced by 20th Century Fox, was met with generally positive reviews from critics. However, Roger Ebert gave the film a mixed review of only two stars out of four, saying, "I've seen King Lear as a samurai drama and Macbeth as a Mafia story, and two different Romeo and Juliets about ethnic difficulties in Manhattan (West Side Story and China Girl), but I have never seen anything remotely approaching the mess that the new punk version of Romeo & Juliet makes of Shakespeare's tragedy.". The film grossed over $147 million against its $14.5 million budget.

Romeo + Juliet (1996)

American actor Leonardo DiCaprio (1974) has often played unconventional parts, particularly in biopics and period films. His role in the blockbuster Titanic (1998) cemented DiCaprio's reputation as a teen heartthrob. He became one of the biggest movie stars thanks to his films with the directors Martin Scorsese, Christopher Nolan, and Quentin Tarantino. He won an Oscar and a Golden Globe Award for The Revenant (2015) as well as two other Golden Globes for The Aviator (2004) and The Wolf of Wall Street (2013).

Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio was born in Los Angeles, in 1974. He is the only child of Irmelin (née Indenbirken), a legal secretary, and George DiCaprio, an underground comix writer, publisher, and distributor of comic books. His parents separated when he was a year old. When his older stepbrother earned $50,000 for a television commercial, DiCaprio fascinated with this, decided to become an actor. At age 14, he began his career by appearing in television commercials such as for Matchbox cars by Mattel, which he considered his first role. In 1989, he played the role of Glen in two episodes of the television show The New Lassie. Leo played recurring roles in various television series, such as the sitcom Parenthood (1990-1991) based on the successful comedy film of the same name. He made his film debut as the stepson of an evil landlord in the low-budget horror direct-to-video film Critters 3 (Kristine Peterson, 1991). He was handpicked by Robert De Niro out of 400 young actors to play the lead role in the biographical coming-of-age drama This Boy's Life (Michael Caton-Jones, 1993) with De Niro as his stepfather, and Ellen Barkin as his mother. In 1993, DiCaprio co-starred as the intellectually disabled brother of Johnny Depp's character in What's Eating Gilbert Grape (Lasse Hallström, 1993), a comic-tragic odyssey of a dysfunctional Iowa family. The film became a critical success, earning DiCaprio a National Board of Review Award for Best Supporting Actor and nominations for an Oscar and a Golden Globe. His next films were the Western film The Quick and the Dead (Sam Raimi, 1995) with Sharon Stone, the biopic The Basketball Diaries (Scott Kalvert, 1995) in which he played a teenage Jim Carroll as a drug-addicted high school basketball player and writer, and the erotic drama Total Eclipse (Agnieszka Holland, 1995), a fictionalised account of the homosexual relationship between Arthur Rimbaud (DiCaprio) and Paul Verlaine (David Thewlis). In 1996, DiCaprio appeared opposite Claire Danes in Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet, an abridged modernisation of William Shakespeare's romantic tragedy of the same name. The project grossed $147 million worldwide and earned DiCaprio a Silver Bear for Best Actor at the 1997 Berlin International Film Festival. DiCaprio then achieved international fame as a star in the epic romance Titanic (James Cameron, 1997), opposite Kate Winslet. Against expectations, Titanic went on to become the highest-grossing film to that point, eventually grossing more than $2.1 billion in box-office receipts worldwide. DiCaprio turned into a superstar, resulting in intense adoration among teenage girls and young women in general that became known as "Leo-Mania"

Leonardo DiCaprio played a self-mocking role in a small appearance in Woody Allen's caustic satire of the fame industry, Celebrity (1998). That year, he also starred in the dual roles of the villainous King Louis XIV and his secret, sympathetic twin brother Philippe in The Man in the Iron Mask (Randall Wallace, 1998). The film received mixed to negative response, but became a box office success, grossing $180 million internationally. DiCaprio was awarded a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Screen Couple for both incarnations the following year. Leonardo starred in two successful features in 2002. The first was the biographical crime drama Catch Me If You Can (Steven Spielberg, 2002), based on the life of Frank Abagnale Jr., who before his 19th birthday committed check fraud to make millions in the 1960s. The film received favourable reviews and was an international success, becoming DiCaprio's highest-grossing release since Titanic with a total of $351 million worldwide. The second was the historical drama Gangs of New York (Martin Scorsese, 2002) with Cameron Diaz and Daniel Day-Lewis. It marked his first of many collaborations with director Martin Scorsese. Gangs of New York earned a total of $193 million worldwide and received mostly positive reviews. DiCaprio played Howard Hughes in The Aviator (Martin Scorsese, 2004), which DiCaprio also co-produced. In 2005, he was named the commander of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres for his contributions to the arts. DiCaprio was a mercenary in the political thriller Blood Diamond (Edward Zwick, 2006). He received acclaim for his role opposite Jack Nicholson in the crime drama The Departed (Martin Scorsese, 2006). Budgeted at $90 million, the film grossed $291 million and emerged as DiCaprio and Scorsese's highest-grossing collaboration to date. He reunited with Kate Winslet in the romantic drama Revolutionary Road (Sam Mendes, 2008). DiCaprio is the founder of Appian Way Productions?a production company that has produced some of his films and the documentary series Greensburg (2008?2010)?and the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, a non-profit organization devoted to promoting environmental awareness.

Leonardo DiCaprio continued to collaborate with Martin Scorsese in the psychological thriller film Shutter Island (Martin Scorsese, 2010), based on the novel of the same name by Dennis Lehane. The film was a commercial success, grossing $294 million worldwide. DiCaprio starred in the science fiction thriller Inception (Christopher Nolan, 2010), in which he enters the dreams of others to obtain information that is otherwise inaccessible. DiCaprio earned $50 million from the film, becoming his highest payday yet. He was an executive producer for George Clooney's political drama The Ides of March, an adaptation of Beau Willimon's play Farragut North (George Clooney, 2011) with Ryan Gosling. In 2012, DiCaprio starred as a plantation owner, Calvin Candie, in Quentin Tarantino's Spaghetti Western, Django Unchained (2012). DiCaprio's next role was as the millionaire Jay Gatsby in Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby (2013), an adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel of the same name. That year he also starred in the biopic The Wolf of Wall Street (Martin Scorsese, 2013), based on the life of stockbroker Jordan Belfort, who was arrested in the late 1990s for securities fraud and money laundering. The film earned him a Golden Globe and Oscar nominations for Best Actor and Best Picture. DiCaprio was an executive producer on Virunga (Orlando von Einsiedel, 2014), a British documentary film about four people fighting to protect the world's last mountain gorillas from war and poaching. The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. In 2015, DiCaprio produced and played fur trapper Hugh Glass in Alejandro G. Iñárritu's survival drama The Revenant. Built on a budget of $135 million, the well-received film earned $533 million worldwide. The film earned him numerous awards, including an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, a SAG and a Critic's Choice Award for Best Actor. For the next three years, DiCaprio narrated documentaries and served as a producer for films. DiCaprio returned to acting following a break of four years in Quentin Tarantino's comedy-drama Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019), opposite Brad Pitt. He received nominations for an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a BAFTA Award for Best Actor. The film earned a total of $374 million against its $90-million budget. DiCaprio's personal life is the subject of widespread media attention. He rarely gives interviews and is reluctant to discuss his private life. Among his former girlfriends are Brazilian model Gisele Bündchen, Israeli model Bar Refaeli, and German model Toni Garrn.

Britons Arms was turned in The Slaughtered Prince and a new entrance was added to the building. In the rest of Elm Hill, shop doors and window frames were darkened, and any signs covered over.
These photographs were taken early in the morning while the film crew were still setting up.
