IT LOOKS like The Wolf of Wall Street is coming to TV. Well, at least some version of it is.

Jordan Belfort, whose life was chronicled in the Martin Scorsese film, is the driving force behind bringing the world of stockbrokers to the small screen.

Belfort will work on the show with Hercules director Brett Ratner and Australian billionaire James Packer. Ratner, Packer and Steven Mnuchin will produce alongside Belfort, who will also co-write the program.

The show is rumoured to be in the style of Mad Men, and I’m sure it will borrow heavily from Belfort’s steady diet of sex, drugs and excess.

There’s no word yet on what the show will be called or who will star in it, but it’s probably fair to say that Leo won’t be reprising his role as Belfort here. Hopefully, they get someone who can suitably fill his shoes.

We’re at least a few years away from seeing this one, but my anticipation is already through the roof.
