PARAMOUNT Vantage is off to a bad start hyping its expensive Leonardo DiCaprio-Kate Winslet flick, “Revolutionary Road,” as an Oscar contender. On Monday, the studio so overbooked an industry screening at the AMC Loews 34th Street - featuring a live Q&A with Leo and Kate - that nearly 200 were turned away, one movie honcho told us. Those kept out included members of guilds representing actors, writers and producers, and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, some of whom vote for Oscar nominees. “Scott Rudin, who produced, is always very respectful of industry members, so he’s got to be furious about this. It can’t help the film’s chances,” our insider said. A studio rep told us: “Guild screenings are traditionally overbooked to account for drop-off . . . We look forward to showing it at a later date to those who missed it.” The R-rated movie opens Dec. 26.

Leonardo DiCaprio has put his Malibu estate up for sale at the king-of-the-world price of just under $9 million.
Featuring a two-bedroom, two-bath main house and a guesthouse with two one-bedroom suites, the private paparazzi-proof bluff-top property offers a stairway-to-the-sea to a secluded cove, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Other amenities include a steam shower in the bathroom, a four-car garage and a big yard. The exact listing price is $8,999,000.
DiCaprio, 34, next appears in Revolutionary Road, a holiday film that reunites him with Titanic costar Kate Winslet.
