19. Wolf of Wall Street

Premise of the movie: Wolf of Wall Street is based on the true story of stockbroker Jordan Belfort. Initially dabbling in the world of penny stocks, Belfort realizes his ability to encourage people to buy stocks that are actually worthless. As he becomes rich and famous, he also falls into crime and corruption.

The movie was a majorly controversial movie, with many feeling like it glorified criminal activity. It was also a movie that Leonardo DiCaprio should have gained an Oscar for but didn’t due to other movies released at the time.

Why it needs the Lego treatment: Lego has never been afraid of pushing boundaries and setting new limits. A Lego version of Wolf of Wall Street would certainly do that. There would also be excellent fourth wall moments, with jokes of DiCaprio’s lack of Oscar at the time. One way of doing this would be a countdown of all the times DiCaprio should have received an Oscar, similar to the way Alfred went through the previous Batman phases in Lego Batman.

The movie would show Lego money being thrown around. Would it look like real dollar bills or would Lego have its own currency?
