Controversial 'lost' Leonardo DiCaprio film Don's Plum removed from web

Improvised 90s drama disappears after brief online debut following complaint from DiCaprio and co-star Tobey Maguire

Don's Plum, the low-budget 90s indie drama starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire that appeared online last month, has disappeared once more into the Hollywood ether after its stars took action to have it removed from the web.

Their move - a copyright complaint to Vimeo - parallels events in 1999 that also removed the film, at least partially, from view. Concerned that the black and white improvisational feature, tagged "not for public consumption", might damage their reputations, DiCaprio and Maguire - who was then soon to star in the movie version of Spider-Man - were involved in legal action against the makers. They claimed they regarded Don's Plum as the equivalent of an acting workshop and had never intended to make a full-length feature for theatrical release.
