Los Angeles:
Hollywood heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio will play a high flying con man in his next, The Wolf of Wall Street.
The film will be an adaptation of real life white collar criminal Jordan Belfort's memoir of the same name, said The Hollywood Reporter.
Belfort spent years in the 80's and early 90's as a Wall Street trader, racking up both millions of dollars and a serious drug addiction, before a 1994 conviction for shady trading practices that lost clients hundreds of millions.
When the film was announced in February, Martin Scorcese, DiCaprio's longtime collaborator, was attached to direct, but as of now, no filmmaker has committed to getting behind the camera.
DiCaprio will also soon star as another millionaire, Jay Gatsby in a lavish retelling of the literary classic The Great Gatsby. He'll be joined by Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire and Isla Fisher, among others.
