First clip and posters from Martin Scorsese's THE WOLF OF WALL STREET . Revered filmmaker Martin Scorsese directs the story of New York stockbroker Jordan Belfort ( Leonardo DiCaprio ). From the American dream to corporate greed, Belfort goes from penny stocks and righteousness to IPOs and a life of corruption in the late 80s. Excess success and affluence in his early twenties as founder of the brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont warranted Belfort the title – “The Wolf of Wall Street.” Money. Power. Women. Drugs. Temptations were for the taking and the threat of authority was irrelevant. For Jordan and his wolf pack, modesty was quickly deemed overrated and more was never enough. Please Leave A Comment-

The Great Gatsby Review By: MattInRC The year's first Oscar contender The Great Gatsby represents a must-see. The question is, will moviegoers take the chance? Among the worst assumptions of Summer films is that their end results are merely a cacophony of thunderous explosions, Science Fiction slaughter, and Comic Book reboots. But once in awhile, we're jolted back to reality with truly excellent fare. That's where The Great Gatsby finds itself, a film that's top-shelf in its direction, true to the source material, and a wonder on the eyes. Based on the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel from 1925, our story follows the parallel paths of the writer ( Tobey Maguire , Spiderman series), the blonde beauty Daisy ( Carey Mulligan , Drive), and the reclusive mega-millionaire Jay Gatsby ( Leonardo DiCaprio , Shutter Island, Inception), as 1920's America drinks and spends its way into The Great Depression. When Maguire's Nick Carraway moves into a small home on t

From the uniquely imaginative mind of writer/producer/director Baz Luhrmann comes the new big screen adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby . The filmmaker created his own distinctive visual interpretation of the classic story, bringing the period to life in a way that has never been seen before, in a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role. “ The Great Gatsby ” follows would-be writer Nick Carraway as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz, bootleg kings, and sky-rocketing stocks. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby, and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan. It is thus that Nick is drawn into

First thing to note is that music. Like Romeo + Juliet , Luhrmann has opted for contemporary musical picks, arguing that he's following the author down a path of pop innovation. “Fitzgerald described contemporary music in his books,” he points out. “People would say, ‘Why have you put all this silly jazz pop music in there?’" Nothing silly about a musical line-up that's been overseen by Jay-Z and includes Mrs Z - Beyoncé - André 3000, Lana Del Rey and Florence And The Machine. The 'green light' track towards the end of the piece indicates that the text has been a guiding influence for the score as well as the movie. There's are some new posters too, leading with Leonardo DiCaprio's lovelorn, enigmatic Midwesterner Jay Gatsby, whose undying adoration for the willowy Daisy Buchanan ( Carey Mulligan ) drives the story.

The new trailer for Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby has splashed down in a riot of style and a little more substance on how his 3D interpretation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel will play out. The focus this time is firmly on Leonardo DiCaprio's mysterious millionaire, Jay Gatsby. Soundtracked again by Kanye and Jay-Z's 'No Church In The Wild', we see him speeding his banana yellow Duisenberg through New York, Tobey Maguire's wide-eyed Nick Carraway in tow, shaking hands, scratching backs and pulling off shady deals that keep him in shirts, champagne and spectacular parties. There's more of Meyer Wolfsheim, a shadowy figure inspired by real-life Jewish gangster Arnold Rothstein, played here by Bollywood great Amitabh Bachchan. And then there's Daisy Buchanan ( Carey Mulligan ) herself, Gatz's long lost love and his tragic flaw. Please Leave A Comment- Source- Empire
