Hill Befriends The Wolf Of Wall Street

Jonah Hill is in talks to join Martin Scorsese's adaptation of The Wolf of Wall Street says The Hollywood Reporter.


The story is based on the Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) penned memoir that tells of his days as a hard partying, drug addicted stockbroker who was indicted in 1998 for security fraud and money laundering and served a 22-month federal prison stretch.

Hill would play his best friend and business partner Danny Porush, a furniture salesman who joined his meteoric rise and colossal fall.

Terence Winter of Boardwalk Empire wrote the adapted script.

Scorsese, DiCaprio, Emma Tillinger Koskoff, Irwin Winkler, Jennifer Killoran, Alexandra Milchan, Riza Aziz and Joey McFarland will produce the film

Production begins August in New York
