Blood Diamond writer Charles Leavitt is switching tracks from controversial gem adventures to Wall Street corruption.
Warner Bros has nabbed him to adapt Vanity Fair editor Doug Strumpf’s as-yet-unpublished book Confessions Of A Wall Street Shoeshine Boy. The book sees a reporter forge a connection with a Brazilian shoe-buffer and finds the pair uncovering corporate crime at a New York financial firm.
With luck, the film will be out late next year or earlier 2008. The book, meanwhile, we will the streets shortly.
