The Final Battle According to people.com, another celebrity continued by saying that he did, however, wish he had stepped back during some of his previous projects and “observed” the whole filming process.
As you portray these people, you make every effort to delve as deeply as you can into their souls. Additionally, I wish I had been a lot bigger voyeur. to see your (Scorsese’s) behind-the-camera work,” he remarked.
“I would have loved to have seen that process behind the camera a lot more if I could go back in time,” he said.
The Oscar winner, who has collaborated with Scorsese on six films so far, continued by outlining their distinct creative process, adding that they have “months” of planning and deliberation prior to the start of production.
I believe that’s been our method of working together a lot. the capacity to virtually engage in a conversation for months in advance, with many questions and a great deal of debating other approaches that may not be the most apparent course of action,” he added.

Gangs of New York (2002) was the first film in which DiCaprio and Scorsese collaborated. They have since worked together on movies including Killers of the Flower Moon, The Aviator, and The Departed.
What Happens at Night, the duo’s seventh film, is now in production. In the adaptation of the Peter Cameron book, DiCaprio will co-star with Jennifer Lawrence.
