Scorsese And Dicaprio Make New Film

Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio will team up once again, reports New York Magazine, this time for an adaptation of Jordan Belfort's 2007 memoir "The Wolf of Wall Street" which

follows a drug-, alcohol-, and sex-addicted brokerage firm operator's rise and fall -- from multi-millionaire twentysomething in the go-go eighties to federal-convict thirtysomething banned from the securities business for life in 1994.

His fellow Boardwalk Empire executive producer, Terence Winter, wrote the screenplay. The celluloid adaptation, entitled "The Life of Hugo Cabret, Wolf of Wall Street," is set to shoot this summer. Scorsese has worked with DiCaprio before on "Gangs of New York," "The Aviator," "The Departed," and "Shutter Island" to great acclaim, establishing one of the great modern director-actor relationships. The film can be expected as early as June 2012.

The project is called "The Wolf Of Wall Street," not "Hugo Cabret, the Wolf of Wallstreet." Hugo Cabret is an adaptation of the Brian Selznick book that Scorsese is currently directing. The writer seems to have no working knowledge of Scorsese's projects. Way to go HuffPost!

That could be describing MANY on Wall Street.
Vanity Fair profiles so many of them, until I'm like - "And..."

Shutter Island was a missed opportunity and a total letdown with it's lame ending and not enough lunacy. And YES why does DeCaprio ALWAYS look p'd off?

Decario is a good actor, it's just that weird baby face, that now throws me off, because it's an aging babyface. He doesn't look young enough to play twenty, but for some reason in a suit he still looks like a kid in his dads clothes, except a kid with Crows feet. I think I'm somewhat a victim of hollywood for so long putting a certain look out there, that he is a bit disconcerting looking to me.

For me, Boardwalk Empire/Soprano's Terence Winter deserves equally headline billing. It's really the combination of the three that makes this something to anticipate. It wouldn't suprirse me if this role gives DiCaprio his first Oscar (if he steers clear from one of his accents that come and go).

A really great collaboration. I've loved all the movies they've done.

Love these two as a team -- all the movies are classics. Bravo Leo and Marty! Bring it on.....!

Looks like a winner. But PLEASE Marty, make "Silence" soon before it's too late.

Even Johnny Depp in The Tourist looked "puffy." Only us civilians are allowed to get fat.

Hey, HP!

Couldn't your layout people crop the photo better? Such a lack of respect for a great director.

Caprio looks NOT SO HANDSOME & NOT SO THIN!

He does look like he's been noshin' on the high calorie stuff a bit too much. I've always gotten the impression he's got a bit of a weight problem anyway.

Ah well.

I know. He's short we get it. No need to accentuate it with that framing.

No respect. Just shoddy tabloidism is the way this site seems to be increasingly moving towards.

Until I saw this picture, I didn't realize that Dicaprio was a ventriloquist...

Enough already. Find an actor with more than one facial expression and an iota of personality.

I liked The Departed, but every time he was on screen I was distracted by how much DiCaprio looked like Greg Evigan.

Scorsese needs to let go of Di Caprio at some point. Not that he is a bad actor but he has no range, always playing the same intense, angry guy with a chip on his shoulder. De Niro was a far better muse and their movies together were the reason Scorsese's name means something today.

But De Niro's movies the last 10-15 years...oy.

You are being a little harsh. At least De Niro has been in comedies that worked, like Meet the Parents and Analyse This. Hard to imagine Leo ever being as funny or playing someone who is not super talented with a chip on his shoulder.

I'm sure "Hugo Cabret" and "Wolf of Wall Street" are two separate films:

"The celluloid adaptation, entitled "The Life of Hugo Cabret, Wolf of Wall Street""
