## Prompt

```text
Goal: Create a cinematic biographical movie-poster collage celebrating {actor_name}, with the subtitle {subtitle}, styled like an awards-season retrospective poster.

Canvas: Landscape 4:3 poster, warm cream parchment background with subtle vignette, high-resolution photorealistic composite, dramatic studio lighting, sepia-gold color grade, sharp faces, soft feathered collage edges.

Layout: Place one enormous close-up side-profile portrait of the actor dominating the right-center, facing right, cropped from forehead to chin with detailed skin texture and blue-green eye. On the left half, build a layered collage of exactly 9 smaller role portraits around him, all depicting the same man at different ages and costumes: 1) a stern airline pilot in a navy cap at upper left, 2) a young man shouting into a vintage microphone at upper center-left, 3) a blond 1990s youth in a tan jacket at mid-left, 4) a serious man in a blue shirt behind the center group, 5) a neatly dressed man in a pale shirt at mid-center, 6) a dark-suited intense man at lower left, 7) a blond brooding man in a dark jacket at lower center-left, 8) a tuxedoed millionaire holding a coupe glass of champagne at lower center, and 9) a rugged bearded frontiersman with facial wounds and fur clothing at lower right of the collage.

Props: Add exactly 3 prominent symbolic props in the lower-left foreground: 1) an antique pocket watch with chain, 2) a blood-splattered axe angled diagonally near the bottom center-left, and 3) red blood splatter stains along the bottom-left edge. Include a vintage chrome microphone near the shouting portrait.

Typography: At the top right, large condensed bold black title text: {headline_text}. Directly beneath it, smaller bold uppercase subtitle: {subtitle_text}. On the right side under the subtitle, include a narrow vertical filmography timeline made of tiny black text entries with bracket marks and era labels; the text may be partially nonsensical but should resemble a chronological list. Include exactly 4 vertical era labels on the far right: YOUTH 1990s, ASCENT 2000s, EXCESS 2010s, SURVIVAL 2020s.

Bottom text: Centered near the bottom, add the slogan in bold uppercase: {slogan}. Under it, add a small handwritten signature reading "Leonardo DiCaprio". At lower right, add the quote in uppercase: {quote}. Beneath the quote, include exactly 2 laurel award badges: one labeled "ACADEMY AWARD WINNER" and one labeled "A CAREER FOR THE AGES".

Style constraints: Make it look like a polished Hollywood retrospective poster, not a flat infographic. Use realistic actor likeness, seamless photomontage blending, warm highlights, deep shadows, crisp black typography, and no visible watermark or border. Keep the exact count of 10 total portraits including the large profile and 9 smaller role portraits, 3 foreground props, 4 era labels, and 2 laurel badges.
```
