Leo Wants To See Episode II Script
Leonardo DiCaprio said he'll decide whether to play grown-up Anakin Skywalker in the upcoming Star Wars: Episode II only after he's read the script. Asked if he was interested in the role, DiCaprio told IGN Movies, "I'll see when I read the script."

The Titanic star confirmed meeting with Star Wars creator George Lucas about playing Anakin. "Yeah, I have talked to him," DiCaprio said. "There's no script as of yet." He added that Lucas had given him no firm date on when a script would be finished. "He just does what he wants."

DiCaprio also withheld a strong opinion about Star Wars: Episode I. "I think it was interesting. I think there's more that can be done, though."
