This movie is going to be one of the biggest of the year for sure. It’s said Martin Scorsese is one of the best filmmakers of all time. Who can really argue that? Sure it’s subjective, but in terms of success and progress he’s one of the most influential and beloved directors ever. His movies are classics. I have a hard time thinking this movie will be ANY different. The cast is top notch. The lead is Leonardo DiCaprio. Then the cast is rounded out with Jonah Hill, Matthew McConaughey, Kyle Chandler, Jon Favreau, Rob Reiner, Spike Jonze, Ethan Suplee, and about two dozen other familiar faces and fine performers. It’s a dark comedy, which is always fun. DiCaprio plays a New York stockbroker who goes crazy in his lifestyle and even crazier with his participation in a big corruption case. It’s all based on Jordan Belfort’s memoir, but the screenplay is handled by Boardwalk Empire’s mastermind Terence Winter. That’s all one big math equation that equals me being excited to see this.
