Variety reports that Terence Winter (Sopranos alum) will write Martin Scorsese’s Boardwalk Empire, produced by The Departed’s only Oscar nominated actor, Mark Wahlberg, along with Stephen Levinson.
Drama, which hasn’t yet been ordered to pilot, is based on Nelson Johnson‘s book “Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times and Corruption of Atlantic City,” which revolves around the now-gambling mecca’s early 20th century origins
According to Variety, Scorsese worked with Winter on The Wolf of Wall Street (Warner Bros.) and The Long Play, a “rock n’ roll epic.”
