The Wolf Of Wall Street

[meth head]

Martin Scorsese is back on to reunite with Leonardo DiCaprio for a fifth time, and will collaborate on the drama The Wolf of Wall Street. A little over a year ago, we reported that the two were set to make the film and have it be Scorsese’s follow up to Hugo, but Scorsese dropped off the project in May. Now Deadline reports that Scorsese is back on board, and shooting is set to begin in August in New York. The story is based on “Jordan Belfort‘s memoir of his days as a hard partying, drug addicted stockbroker who was indicted in 1998 for security fraud and money laundering and served a 22-month federal prison stretch.” Boardwalk Empire creator Terrence Winter wrote the script, and he’ll polish it up before the movie goes into production.

Here’s the synopsis for Jordan Belfort’s The Wolf of Wall Street:

By day he made thousands of dollars a minute. By night he spent it as fast as he could, on drugs, sex, and international globe-trotting. From the binge that sank a 170-foot motor yacht, crashed a Gulfstream jet, and ran up a $700,000 hotel tab, to the wife and kids who waited for him at home, and the fast-talking, hard-partying young stockbrokers who called him king and did his bidding, here, in his own inimitable words, is the story of the ill-fated genius they called…

In the 1990s Jordan Belfort, former kingpin of the notorious investment firm Stratton Oakmont, became one of the most infamous names in American finance: a brilliant, conniving stock-chopper who led his merry mob on a wild ride out of the canyons of Wall Street and into a massive office on Long Island. Now, in this astounding and hilarious tell-all autobiography, Belfort narrates a story of greed, power, and excess no one could invent.
Reputedly the prototype for the film Boiler Room, Stratton Oakmont turned microcap investing into a wickedly lucrative game as Belfort’s hyped-up, coked-out brokers browbeat clients into stock buys that were guaranteed to earn obscene profits–for the house. But an insatiable appetite for debauchery, questionable tactics, and a fateful partnership with a breakout shoe designer named Steve Madden would land Belfort on both sides of the law and into a harrowing darkness all his own.

From the stormy relationship Belfort shared with his model-wife as they ran a madcap household that included two young children, a full-time staff of twenty-two, a pair of bodyguards, and hidden cameras everywhere—even as the SEC and FBI zeroed in on them—to the unbridled hedonism of his office life, here is the extraordinary story of an ordinary guy who went from hustling Italian ices at sixteen to making hundreds of millions. Until it all came crashing down…

I feel like there's no need to see the movie after that synopsis.

Jean Dujardin in talks to join DiCaprio.

 

[Deckard]

I feel like there's no need to see the movie after that synopsis.

And just the general feel all of Marty's Crime dramas have combined with that.

I'm sure it will be good, but tbh the topic hasn't got me excited and I'm getting a bit tired of Leo. It'll be more refereshing to see him as a villain in Django I think.

The article is funny though, it makes it sound as if this is a sequel to Hugo the way it says follow up.

Undoubtedly the greatest Director-Actor combo of all time! Can't wait, sounds like classic Scorsese fair. Just what we need after Hugo

 

[wofford29]

I don't think that combo even comes close to the Scorsese/Deniro combo.

 

[Deckard]

Marty/Leo has literally nothing on Marty/Deniro.

Shutter Island is quite boring and much like The Departed, they truely aren't as effective on multiple re-watches. I have no urge whatsoever to go back and watch those two now, compared to Goodfellas and Casino which I could watch a thousand times over. The Aviator is definately their best film working togeather imo, and it doesn't rely on a twist gimmick. Gangs is great too but I chalk that mainly upto the setting and DDL. But then Deniro also did Mean Streets and Taxi Driver.

It comes close. I may have overstated my words. The Scorsese-Leo combo is the second greatest Director/actor partnership of all time

THE WOLF OF WALL STREET Avoids NC-17 Rating with Edits; Nearly 3-Hour Runtime Confirmed | Collider

Some will likely groan about the runtime, but I am glad we are getting a longer duration big budget film for a change. As long as a movie keeps my attention, I don't mind how lengthy the movie is. The last time I got to experience a 3 hour movie in the theatre was 10 years ago with Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.

As for the rating and edits, I guess it's futile to consider that MPAA will ever improve on how they rate movies.
