Adapted from the personal memoirs of Jordan Belfort, The Wolf of Wall Street is a true story of excess, greed and goopy morals in the corporate world that’ll play all out in the fifth collaboration from Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio. Undercut by Kanye West’s “Black Skinheads,” this first look seems more like a fast-paced, star-studded satirical comedy than the Oscar-bait many were expecting.
Personally, I’m happy to see Scorsese tackle something more light in nature, seeing as it it’s going against the grain of his last offering, Hugo. From this first look, we can expect some high-brow comedy from one of the great kings of cinema and a manic performance from a cast that includes DiCaprio, Jonah Hill and Matthew McConaughey.
Bring it on.
