"The Wolf of Wall Street's" trailer premiered on June 17.
The film, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo Dicaprio and Matthew McConaughey tells, the story of a New York stockbroker who refuses to cooperate in a large security fraud case involving corruption on Wall Street, corporate banking, and mob infiltration.
For months the film has been talked about as a huge Oscar contender with many believing that it may be Dicaprio's year to finally win the Oscar. However by the look of the trailer it seems that not only Dicaprio could be recognized but McConaughey could easily garner a nomination in the Supporting Actor category.
Scorsese has also garnered massive amounts of buzz as he has been nominated for four out of his last five efforts. However it is still too early to predict whether the film will be an Oscar contender.
Dicaprio was recently seen in "The Great Gatsby" and "Django Unchained" for which he was nominated for the Golden Globe. He also starred in "Inception," "Shutter Island," "The Departed" and "J. Edgar." He is best known for his work in "Revolutionary Road," "Titanic," and "The Aviator."
McConaughey was last seen in "Mud" and "Magic Mike." He also starred in "Bernie," "The Paperboy," "Killer Joe," and "The Lincoln Lawyer." McConaughey next graces the silver screen in "Dallas Buyers Club" and "Interstellar."
Scorsese last directed "Hugo" which won five Academy Awards and earned him a Best Director nomination. He also directed "Shutter Island," "Gangs of New York," "The Aviator" and "Goodfellas." He won his first Academy Award for the 2006 Best Picture winner "The Departed." Scorsese will next direct "Silence" with Andrew Garfield and Ken Wattanbe.
"The Wolf of Wall Street" opens on November 15 and also stars Jean Dujardin, Jonah Hill, Kyle Chandler, Jon Favreau, Spike Jonze and Rob Reiner.
