The world premiere of "Wolf of Wall Street" is scheduled for mid-November, and this is the fifth collaboration of Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio.

As it turned out, back in 2008, was scheduled to start shooting, but then the director and the actor does not could coordinate their work schedules. Expressed interest in the project and other directors - even the famous Ridley Scott, but after a few years, DiCaprio turned back to Scorsese, and he still took up shooting. Leonardo said:

When Marty declined for the first time, I was negotiating with several other directors, but could not decide. I'm fixated on Scorsese. No one could like it, take the story of these young punks with Wall Street. With such rigidity, with the selection of music, and especially with a sense of humor, which is required.

Game's story - the real story of Jordan Belfort - the founder of one of the largest brokerage houses 80s. Then it was not even 30 years. A decade after its inception, Belfort was convicted of money laundering and financial fraud and sentenced to 22 months in prison. The film is based on the memoirs of the Belfort, published in 2008. DiCaprio says about the book:

It transfers characteristic of American desire to achieve wealth at any cost. And it has not disappeared yet. Belfort was a small fish in a huge pond, he motivated his people, suggesting to them that they are heroes. Wall Street - it's practically the Wild West.

Martin Scorsese agrees with the actor:

Jordan was a great guy in a world where there are no moral principles. You should not compare him and the other employees of Wall Street with the Mafia, the only parallel is that both those, and others are interested in how to earn more money and do it as soon as possible.

DiCaprio says that a lot of time spent with Jordan Belfort during pre-production:

I wanted to establish a strong relationship with him, to bring in the way of more details. I was the mediator between him and Marty Scorsese I brought my notes taken during our conversations with Jordan, where he was telling me even the intimate details of his relationship with women. Marty tried to use every little thing in the movie.

A result, the film includes a lot of explicit scenes. One of them, involving the Australian actress Margot Robbie, she said, were filming the whole seventeen hours. The Australian is the film's second wife Belfort.
