The first trailer for The Monuments Men directed by and starring George Clooney has arrived. The film features Clooney leading a small squad of architects and artists into World War II battlefields to save, preserve, and steal pieces of culture that can otherwise be destroyed by the Nazis.

Matt Damon, John Goodman, Bob Balaban, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, Jean Dujardin, and Hugh Bonneville will join Clooney on his fight to preserve history itself from destruction, and there is a chance you will get to see them shoot some Nazis. Based on the cast list alone, there is the potential to see these characters struggle through basic military training and figuring out how to handle a firing arm. Hit the jump to see the full trailer.

Paramount has just released the first trailer for Martin Scorsese‘s The Wolf Of Wall Street, which looks like it could go down as one of the best trailers of 2013. The film marks the fifth time that he and Leonardo DiCaprio have collaborated together for a project, which definitely is giving off some awards buzz.

The trailer sets the tone from the moment that green band goes down and Kanye West‘s “Black Skinhead” starts to play. Ironically enough the premise of the film and the context of West’s song are pretty much one in the same: excess. For the rich, having more is never enough, and when I say excess, I mean crumpling up $100 bills, tossing them into waste baskets like their were used tissues, driving Lamborghinis recklessly, throwing massive parties, and lots of booze and lots women.

Check out the first trailer for the film after the jump.

The cast for legendary director Martin Scorsese‘s upcoming project The Wolf of Wall Street is coming together nicely.

Bernthal is best known for his work as Shane on the hit AMC series, The Walking Dead. He’s also set to star in Walking Dead series creator and former showrunner Frank Darabont’s new TNT series L.A. Noir.
