Palminteri Tells Mob Story

Chazz Palminteri, a man who would surely be a Mafiosi if your career was based solely on looks, is set to write and co-produce Wall Street Mafia, a film that would appear to cross Wall Street with Goodfellas, with just a dash of The Firm. And there's literally no part of that that doesn't sound good.

The film follows a young stockbroker from Brooklyn who joins a big brokerage firm in Manhattan and probably expects a life full of hookers and champagne and big shiny penis extensions sports cars. Instead, he finds himself caught between the FBI and the Mafia, with the former investigating the latter's infiltration into the world of high finance. The latter bit is based on a true story; we're guessing that the broker himself may be fictional.

Palminteri may also star on the film, but that isn't yet confirmed - nor, as far as we can tell, is a director. Still, all that will need to be set pretty quickly because shooting is due to start in New York in February. That means it'll probably come out sometime after Wall Street 2: let's hope the two don't overlap too much.
