Leonardo DiCaprio will produce Conspiracy of Fools, a Warner Bros film based on Kurt Eichenwald's factual account of the Enron scandal.

DiCaprio may also star in the film if his schedule will allow it.

The movie focuses on a tax attorney who joins the US energy company and uncovers an accounting scandal.

After the story hit the news, Enron's stocks dropped from more than $90 a share to pennies. The company went bankrupt in December 2001 and was the subject of an Oscar-nominated documentary in 2005 entitled Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room.

Flightplan's Robert Schwentke will direct Fools, based on a script by Sheldon Turner.
