Leonardo DiCaprio has heaped praise on director Martin Scorsese.
The actor works with the Oscar winning filmmaker for the fourth time this week on their latest project Shutter Island, an adaptation of the Dennis Lehane novel.
The actor called Scorsese one of the greatest filmmakers and that his movies would go on to stand the test of time.
He told Contactmusic: "I think of Martin Scorsese and a thousand years from now there watching his films. There are those few artists who will stand out to define their art form and he's one of them. It's his relationship with the actors which I think defines him.
"He really looks to his actors to navigate the emotional narrative of the stories he's telling."
Despite having worked together four times already the actor admits that he keen to continue their successful partnership.
"I'd jump at another opportunity to work with him. But as far as any specific project is concerned, there is nothing set in stone.
"What you do in this business is you develop material forever and you go on and on and on and finally one day you're left with a script that's good enough to do.
"I know he's been working on a script for a while now and there's a couple of other things we've been talking about but until I sign on the dotted line and there's a start date nothing is really real."
Shutter Island is out now.
