After long-awaited news that Martin Scorsese‘s The Wolf of Wall Street would be pushed to Christmas Day, the old trailer touting the November 15 release date was immediately outdated and badly needed an update. One of the key reasons that why the film was pushed took place in the editing room as Marty’s early cut of the film crossed the pariah-like three hour mark. With the new cut of the film pushing 2 hours and 45 minutes, it’s fair to say that Scorsese’s latest will still be another crime epic suiting his long form story-telling tactics.

At this point in the game, Wolf is a massively unknown Oscar contender. It’s not difficult to see a situation in which the film plays more like a dark comedy than Academy fare but it’s also likely that Scorsese’s latest nabs a good number of nominations on its way out the door. Leonardo DiCaprio is probably the most likely of the cast to be nominated but early stirrings for Jonah Hill and Matthew McConaughey haven’t seemed to stop yet. However a supporting nomination for McConaughey here seems very unlikely, as he is sure to grab a Best Actor nod for his work in Dallas Buyers Club.

The Wolf of Wall Street is directed by Martin Scorsese and stars Leonardo Dicaprio, Jonah Hill, Matthew McConaughey,  Jon Bernthal, Jon Favreau, Kyle Chandler, Jean Dujardin, Rob Reiner and Spike Jonze. It hits theaters November 15.
