Is a DiCaprio produced Aquaman film really that close to happening?

This post is just for kicks; but I want to talk about it anyway. A year ago we posted that Leonardo DiCaprio's production company bought the rights to produce a big-budget Aquaman film. Then about a month ago we posted that Warner Brothers is pushing to get Aquaman off the ground. I even gave my opinion on who should play the underwater superhero.

On DiCaprio's IMDB profile, it lists Aquaman as "In Development". Normally, an "In Development" status is nothing to get excited about. But, knowing that Warner Brothers wants to get this movie going, can we get SOMEWHAT excited? I want to answer yes! I was hoping for Paul Walker as the casting choice, but I doubt that will happen. How about the dream scenario of DiCaprio, Producer AND Star?!

In Entourage, the HBO show, there was a rumor DiCaprio was in talks to play the superhero, why can't that rumor be reality? Nothing is impossible. I would have never thought in a million years Edward Norton would play a superhero, and guess what? He did, a big green one in The Incredible Hulk. So this is not outside the realm of possibility.

If you read this entire post, then you're interested, so it can't be a complete waste of time. Let's hope the movie is actually made, and pray a little more that it's actually a good movie! I know what I'm going to ask Santa for this year.
