The Wolf of Wall Street Casts Jon Favreau
SAN DIEGO, CA - JULY 23: Director/executive producer Jon Favreau attends the Premiere of Universal Pictures “Cowboys & Aliens” during Comic-Con 2011 at San Diego Civic Theatre on July 23, 2011 in San Diego, California. (Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images)The Wolf of Wall Street, Martin Scorsese’s next entry in his magnificent filmography — which, throw up a quick hosanna, won’t be in 3-D! — has cast actor-director Jon Favreau (Elf, the first two Iron Mans) as a securities lawyer. At this point, you’d be safe assuming the story’s based on a preposterous number of noteworthy stars all being cast together, but it’s surprisingly about Leonardo DiCaprio playing real-life shady stock broker turned imprisoned stock broker Jordan Belfort.
