Leonardo DiCaprio set for The Wolf of Wall Street
Posted on August 5, 2010 (Tammy)
Leonardo DiCaprio is being lined up to star in the movie version of Jordan Belfort’s bestselling book The Wolf of Wall Street.
He told Sydney’s 2DayFM: “It’s not been green lit yet but it’s in the pipeline.”
The film is likely to be directed by Ridley Scott and produced by Martin Scorsese.
Scorsese and DiCaprio nearly did the project together two years ago but it stalled in a tug of war between movie studios Warner Bros – where the project was developed – and Paramount.
The Wolf of Wall Street tells the story of a stockbroker who squeezed clients to buy shares. The broker and his team used the funds to live extravagantly until they were brought down by the Feds.
