THE WOLF OF WALL STREET (2013) Movie Trailer: DiCaprio Makes $1M A Day

Leonardo DiCaprio The Wolf of Wall Street

The Wolf of Wall Street Trailer. Martin Scorsese‘s The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) movie trailer stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Matthew McConaughey, Jon Bernthal, and Jon Favreau. The Wolf of Wall Street‘s plot synopsis: “In The Wolf of Wall Street DiCaprio would play Belfort, a Long Island penny stockbroker who served 20 months in prison for refusing to cooperate in a massive 1990s securities fraud case that involved widespread corruption on Wall Street and in the corporate banking world, including mob infiltration.”

The music that predominates the trailer “is ‘Black Skinhead‘ from Kanye West…The song, incidentally, is from ‘Yeezus,’ which hits this week — a nice bit of cross-promo there for the album that famously has no single or video promotion.”

On the subject matter in the film from the book the film is based on:

Belfort, who founded one of the first and largest chop shop brokerage firms in 1987, was banned from the securities business for life by 1994, and later went to jail for fraud and money-laundering, delivers a memoir that reads like fiction. It covers his decade of success with straightforward accounts of how he worked with managers of obscure companies to acquire large amounts of stock with minimal public disclosure, then pumped up the price and sold it, so he and the insiders made large profits while public investors usually lost. Profits were laundered through purchase of legitimate businesses and cash deposits in Swiss banks. There is only brief mention of Belfort’s life before Wall Street or events since 1997. The book’s main topic is the vast amount of sex, drugs and risky physical behavior Belfort managed to survive. As might be expected in the autobiography of a veteran con man with movie rights already sold, it’s hard to know how much to believe.
