After weeks of debating whether or not to move this film to a 2014 release, Martin Scorsese‘s The Wolf Of Wall Street is being rescheduled for a Christmas release, which still puts it in contention for some Oscars. Yes Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit was bumped for a first quarter 2014 release, but honestly, The Wolf Of Wall Street is the film everyone has their eyes on.

Leonardo DiCaprio reunites with Scorsese once again for this factual story based on the life of Jordan Belfort, an ambitious young stock broker who at the tender age of 22 launched his very own multi-million dollar stock broking company using very questionable and illegal methods. Jonah Hill joins the cast as Donnie Azoff, an eager assistant who immediately quits his job to work alongside Belfort. But these are only two actors of a very large ensemble cast that looks like it will be one a lot of people’s top ten spot. Hit the jump to see the trailer.

Earlier last month, Paramount was thinking about pushing back Martin Scorsese‘s The Wolf Of Wall Street starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Kyle Chandler, Matthew McConaughey, Margot Robbie, and Jon Bernthal, to 2014. While the film hasn’t budged from its original November 15 release date, it has been reported that Scorsese is still hard at work editing the film to an appropriate runtime.

Now a new report coming out confirms those editing difficulties, but the release date may not be as drastic as pushing it back all the way to 2014, which would mean that the film would still be in contention for some Oscar awards. According to sources, Scorsese, along with his longtime editing partner Thelma Schoonmaker, is hard at work cutting the film and determined to finish editing it by November 25.

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.

It’s being reported that Jon Bernthal has just signed on to the project, where he’ll play a drug dealer and money launderer. 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.
