St. Petersburg based studio 'Lenfilm' has offered Leonardo DiCaprio the chance to star as a young Vladimir Lenin in a film about the revolutionary, after the actor gave an interview where he expressed interest in portraying Lenin, Rasputin or Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"It is always interesting to make movies. Leonardo DiCaprio is often compared to Lenin in his youth. We have enough scenery and props to recreate the era of the revolution," Lenfilm spokesman Valeriy Karlov told Baltika FM.

I think DiCaprio would be great as Lennin. But I would have serious doubts about a film put out by a studio named for the guy.

If they could get a reputable studio to make something like this,who should they get for Stalin & Trotsky? Woud almost need an all-star cast.
