If there’s one video game that was begging to be a movie, it would probably be something other than Heavenly Sword. It was a decent game when it heralded the arrival of the Playstation 3 console way back in 2007, but it’s a dated mess of bad ideas and gameplay today. Still, it had one hell of a story to …

Who doesn’t love Leonardo DiCaprio? He has a ridiculous amount of charm and charisma in any role he plays, and he knows how to sell a character. In The Wolf of Wall Street, his high energy persona is the perfect fit to play Jordan Belfort in the truth-is-stranger-than-fiction tale based on his memoirs. The first trailer we saw that got …
