Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street began filming in Manhattan this weekend, and some great shots of Leonardo DiCaprio in the lead role have surfaced!

The Wolf of Wall Street is adapted from Jordan Belfort’s 1998 personal memoir, outlining his rise and fall on Wall Street and the partying, drug use, and alcoholism that developed as a result of his career. It’s Scorsese’s and DiCaprio’s fifth film together, their first since Shutter Island. Below are the first pictures from the set!
