I remember when Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street was shooting around NYC and on Long Island, it was at the same time as Darren Aronofsky was shooting Noah and I got really excited at the prospect of two amazing filmmakers shooting near each other and hoped I might run into one of them. suffice to say that didn’t happen but it doesn’t mean I ever forgot that this film was going to be released this year and I’ve been eagerly awaiting to see what Leonardo DiCaprio and Scorsese would have it store for us for their fifth go-around, this time with Matthew McConaughey and Jonah Hill joining them.
Backed by Kanye West’s new single ‘Black Skinhead,’ the trailer for The Wolf of Wall Street is all high Wall St. energy with DiCaprio playing an insanely wealthy 26 year old playboy stock trader (Leo’s actually 38) doing what Wall St. guys do best, spending money on things like drugs, women, parties and more. The film chronicles Jordan Belfort’s crazy fast rise and fall as a trader.
For all of you that like Wall St. films but want one with a bit more style to it, this looks like it’s going to fit the bill. I liked what I saw, embracing the wilder side of DiCaprio while digging the hilarious presence of McConaughey who steals the trailer at the end. Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think.
The Wolf of Wall Street open on November 15th
