Volkswagen Scandal Movie in the Works From Paramount, Leonardo DiCaprio

The Hollywood Reporter reports:
The Volkswagen scandal is heading to the big screen.

Paramount and Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way have acquired the rights to a book proposal by Jack Ewing.

Ewing's book will investigate how a "more, better, faster" ethos fueled one of the greatest frauds in corporate history. The German car company had programmed their diesel cars so that U.S. standards emissions were met only when the car was undergoing emissions testing. On the road, emissions rates were up to 40 times higher.
Mult-homeowner , jet-flyer, Leonardo DiCaprio sure is a hypocrite. No word yet on when DiCaprio is going to do a movie about a scandal that hurts "the children".
