I have never heard of Travis Mcgee, but apparently there are 21 novels about the character who first appeared in 1964, he is a salvage consultant who lives on a beat-up house boat in Bahia Mar, Lauderdale and helps people to recover lost property in return for half its value. Sounds like a sweet deal. Leonardo DiCaprio has signed on to a possible franchise of films if the first goes well. According to empireonline, Dicaprio will star in the first adaption of novels-to-film called: Deep Blue Goodbye. Only time will tell whether he continues with the role in sequels. I'll watch anything with Leo in it, I'm a sucker for his films. I think he's one of the finest actors in Hollywood. The first time I saw him in Whats Eating Gilbert Grape I knew he'd be a star. www.empireonline.com/news/feed.asp?NID=25932 Original Source

im like u dude, never heard of Travis Mcgee either....
I dont know, might not sound like my kinda movie...so im not sure if im gonna be looking forward to this.
I seem to watch almost all the movies he does lately..like Aviator, Blood Diamond, Catch me if u can, Departed etc...but im not really a fan. He doesnt do it for me....My fave movie of his is prob Titanic and I am yet to watch his 'classic' roles like Gilbert Grape, Basketball Diaries or Romeo and Juliet...im just a passive fan of his movie...I wouldnt watch a movie just cause hes in it.

Shallow, you need to watch Basketball Diaries, Gilbert and This Boys Life. All three are brilliant films and Leo's acting was sensational. This Boys Life also has Robert De Niro and he was so good that I hated his character with a passion.

oh, ive seen This Boys Life... i saw it ages ago when it first came out....i was like still a kid back then hehe and too young to appreciate movies. But this is the movie where either he kisses Tobey Maguire whilst on the piano, or Tobey kisses him right... and i think, a young Eliza Dushku was also in that movie.... I can tell your a fan
