Scorsese & DiCaprio Officially Reteaming for The Wolf of Wall Street

Shutter Island was never going to be their last hurrah. The work's been too good to be done, for good. Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio, nonetheless, needed some R&R away from each other and play in that sandbox we call filmmaking with others. Enough time has passed and batteries recharged it's time for their fifth project together, The Wolf of Wall Street, based on the 2008 autobiography of Jordan Belfort.

The relevancy of the material, I'm sure, played a hand instead of the plethora of other films the director/actor duo are attached to. Hey, it's about a 1%er, and you know that's topical because all our financial problems are because of greedy Wall-Street assholes! Just ask our President and the media.

I bitch but you know it'll be great and Scorsese, being the filmmaker he is, will make this engrossing without talking down to our dumbshits in Flyover Country.

Here's the press release:

"Martin Scorsese will direct 'The Wolf of Wall Street' starring Leonardo DiCraprio. The deal, which brings Scorsese and DiCaprio together for their fifth feature collaboration, was made official today.

Red Granite Pictures owns the rights to Jordan Belfort’s best-selling memoir The Wolf of Wall Street, on which the film is based. Red Granite principals Riza Aziz and Joey McFarland are producing along with Leonardo DiCaprio (Appian Way), Martin Scorsese and Emma Koskoff (Sikelia Productions) and Alexandra Milchan (EMJAG Productions). Irwin Winkler and Georgia Kacandes will executive produce.

Leonardo DiCaprio will star as Jordan Belfort – the 'Wolf of Wall Street.'

Terence Winter ('The Sopranos,' 'Boardwalk Empire') adapted the screenplay, which chronicles Belfort’s dramatic rise and fall on Wall Street, along with his hard-partying lifestyle and tumultuous personal life, which included drug and alcohol addiction.

'Everything about this film plays to Martin Scorsese’s genius and visionary storytelling, said Riza Aziz. '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.'

Production on 'The Wolf of Wall Street' is slated to begin in August in New York."
