Scorsese and DiCaprio Meet Once Again For The Wolf of Wall Street
Friday 20th April 2012 | Osh
Martin Scorsese is going to direct The Wolf of Wall Street starring Leonardo DiCaprio. This will be the fifth collaboration between the two.
The movie is based on Jordan Belfort’s bestselling memoir The Wolf of Wall Street. The rights are owned by Red Granite Pictures and Leonardo DiCaprio will play the leading role of Jordan Belfort.
Terence Winter (The Sopranos) adapted the screenplay which shows Belfort's rise and fall on Wall Street as well as a look into his hard- partying lifestyle and turbulent personal life.
Everything about this film plays to Martin Scorsese’s genius and visionary storytelling said Riza Aziz, Red Granite principal. “At its heart, The Wolf of Wall Street is about the rise of new ‘modern’ gangsters in New York. Wall Street gangsters that redefined excess, greed and arrogance. We’re excited to see Mr. Scorsese take the reins of this visceral, tumultuous ride.”
“All of us at Appian Way are thrilled to collaborate, once again, with Martin Scorsese” said Jennifer Killoran, partner in Appian Way. “With Martin’s unique vision and our partnership with Red Granite Pictures and EMJAG, we are excited to bring this story to film.
The production of The Wolf of Wall Street is expected to begin in August this year in New York.
