DiCaprio will produce VW crisis film

19 Oct 2015

Leonardo DiCaprio's production company now owns the rights to produce a movie about the Volkswagen crisis, which happened last month.

The book, which the movie will be based on, is been written by a journalist at New York Times. The book is not yet complete and is said to focus on the corporate culture of directors at Volkswagen that has led to the creation of emission-cheating software in order to meet environmental regulation worldwide.

The rights to the book itself were sold to the Norton publishing house, reportedly around $500,000.

It's too early to tell whether DiCaprio himself, with or without his now-trademark beard, will play any parts in the upcoming film, though given the range of characters he has portrayed there are any number of former or current Volkswagen Directors that he could plausibly play if he chooses to master a German accent.

Sure, this movie will be a big hit in film production in 2016.

A wide variety of cars can be found in Qatar, from tiny hatchbacks to massive SUVs, from older models to newly released, top-of-the-line automobiles. Some individuals may prefer the illusion of safety that a slightly larger 4x4 provides, as well as the days of dune bashing and desert driving that such a car allows.
