Not content with making four films together in under ten years, Martin Scorsese and Leo DiCaprio are teaming up again for the long gestating project THE WOLF ON WALL STREET.
Vulture have reported that the production previously slated under Warner Bros and directed by Ridley Scott has now moved on to be helmed by Scorsese by an independent company and star DiCaprio. The film is an adaptation of the 1990 book of the same name by Jordan Belfort about the rise and fall of a brokerage firm operator, addicted to everything from sex to drugs.
The film won’t go in front of the camera until June 2012 even though Scorsese has wrapped on HUGO CABRET. First he is going to film SILENCE, the Shusaku Endo book with Benicio del Toro. DiCaprio on the other hand is filming J EDGAR HOOVER by Eastwood and then IMDB reports that he will be filming THE DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY, a book by Erik Larson where DiCaprio plays a serial killer at the 1893 New York World Fair.
