With Ridley Scott's historical epic Napoleon soon to hit the big screens, film fans are excited to see the director's take on the powerful figure's life story. A historical epic is nothing new for Scott, with movies such as Exodus: Gods and Kings and Kingdom of Heaven already under his belt. For Napoleon, he is set to reunite with his Gladiator collaborator Joaquin Phoenix, having earned the now-Oscar-winning actor his first nomination in 2001.

Belfort's restitution required that half of his income be paid to the roughly 1,500 clients he defrauded up to 2009, with a total of $110 million in restitution further mandated. In the hopes his story would become his saving grace, Belfort wrote an initial 130 pages during his prison sentence, but started from scratch after his release.

'The Wolf of Wall Street' Could Have Starred Chris Evans In Terence Winter's script, Jordan Belfort's real-life business partner Danny Porush was represented by the fictional character Donny Azoff. During the various incarnations of The Wolf of Wall Street that nearly came to be, several actors auditioned for the role of Donny, including The Avengers star Chris Evans and Inception's Joseph Gordon Levitt.
