The Wolf of Wall Street Movie Release Date and Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Matthew McConnaughey, and Martin Scorsese Attend NYC Premiere
The world premiere of Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street presented by Giorgio Armani and Paramount Pictures took place last night at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York. Attendees from the film included Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Matthew McConnaughey and Margot Robbie.
The Wolf of Wall Street is slated for release Dec. 25, 2013. It was previously slated to be released Nov. 15, 2013, but the date was pushed back after film cuts were desired in order to reduce the run time. On October 22, 2013, it was reported that it is set for a Christmas 2013 release. Paramount officially confirmed the Christmas Day 2013 release date on Oct. 29, 2013 with a running time of 165 minutes. However, on Nov. 25, 2013, the length was announced to be 179 minutes. It is officially rated R for "sequences of strong sexual content, graphic nudity, drug use and language throughout, and for some violence." Scorsese had to edit sexual content and nudity to avoid an NC-17 rating.
Business Insider had a chance to check it out at the premiere of the film in NYC. Here's what they said about the film: "As Belfort loses control, the story slows down. A [sic] such, the movie was long, long, long. A bunch of scenes should have been cut, especially because there are two major things that the movie was missing.
"First, the victims. There were people that lost their life savings with Stratton-Oakmont, and they were nowhere to be found in the film. This makes it hard to see Belfort as the true criminal that he was.
"Second, Belfort had mob ties. The mob is Scorsese's wheelhouse, so it's a wonder that the connection didn't make it into the film. Could've been fun, as fun as his spot-on presentation of a shady Swiss banker -- as fun as the porn star facial hair on Belfort's drug dealing high school friend.
"All in all though, the film is a party, and not just because of the drugs and debauchery. It's because the movie sounds like a party - the soundtrack brings back Jock Jams mix CDs and Limelight club anthems."
