I thought I would just pass on the news that both Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio have officially signed on to turn Jordan Belfort's autobiographical book "The Wolf of Wall Street" into a film. The book apparently chronicles Belfort's highly illegal rise to the top of the financial business world during the 1980's and 1990's, as well as his lavish lifestyle, before it came to a halting crash when the con-man was discovered for who he was, becoming banned from the securities business. If the film is completed, it will be the fifth collaboration between the actor and director who have brought us some of the best film's of the last decade (although it would still be three films short of the eight collaborations between Scorsese and De Niro). It sounds like interesting enough subject matter, and with Scorsese and DiCaprio involved, it is a film that will definitely be on my radar.
