The first Wolf of Wall Street trailer made its way online today, marking Martin Scorsese’s latest collaboration with Leonardo DiCaprio. Check out Leo, Jonah Hill, and Matthew McConaughey partying like it’s 1992.
The Wolf of Wall Street, based on the memoir of former Wall Street stock broker and party boy Jordan Belfort (DiCaprio), tells the story of Belfort’s quick rise in the stock game, excessive lifestyle, and shady business dealings.
The fast-moving trailer paints a picture of a man soaked in luxury, drugs, sex, money, and likely, danger. An all-star cast surrounds DiCaprio the biographic thriller, including Hill, McConaughey, Jon Favreau, Kyle Chandler, and Rob Reiner.
Spike Jones, Ethan Suplee, and new How I Met Your Mother addition Christin Miloti also appear in the film.
This marks Scorsese’s fifth DiCaprio vehicle, following up 2010’s Shutter Island. Screenwriter Terrence Winter penned the script based on Belfort’s bestselling book of the same name.
DiCaprio plays Belfort, who spent nearly two years in prison after being indicted in a securities fraud and money laundering case. Belfort founded Stratton Oakmont brokerage firm which infamously housed a “boiler room” business plan. The shady investment hub served as the basis for the 2000 film, Boiler Room, starring Giovanni Ribisi and Ben Afleck.
From what we gather from the trailer, audiences can expect fast paced, dangerous ride through the dangers of having too much too fast. We can also foresee some wickedly comedic turns from McConaughey and Hill. We are looking forward to Hill’s latest delve into “serious actor” world.
Also, we’re really excited about the early 90s motif.
The Wolf of Wall Street hits theaters on Nov. 15.
