LEONARDO DiCAPRIO is kicking up more controversy over the location of his next movie - by arranging to shoot in executed Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu's Palace. Environmentalists were up in arms after movie chiefs behind DiCaprio's last movie Beach, The (2000) chose the idyllic Thailand island of PHI PHI LE to film, importing hundreds of palm trees to the beauty spot. But DiCaprio doesn't seem put off by controversy - and he has signed on the dotted line to star in a new sci-fi movie this summer in Bucharest. He'll be shooting in the CEAUSESCU's home, where he and his wife ELENA were executed in the bloody anti-communist revolt in 1989. But although Romanian lawmakers at first rejected Miramax's proposal to shoot in the PEOPLE'S HOUSE - which now houses the Parliament - they've changed their minds. Vice president of the Deputies Chamber ANDREI CHILIMAN says those who initially opposed the project "suffer of some psychological blockages" connected to the building. Shooting for the film Librium (2000) will start in August.
