A DiCaprio Unlike Any You've Seen Before

Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio, who have previously delivered hits like "Gangs of New York," "The Departed," and "Shutter Island," reunite for their fifth project. "The Wolf of Wall Street" chronicles the rise and fall of a man who founded a securities firm at age 26 with zero savings, earning an annual income of approximately 4.9 billion yen. The film is now set for its Japanese release.


DiCaprio delivers a passionate performance as the wild stockbroker. His portrayal, which earned him a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy, has garnered attention for its unprecedented depth. The film also features co-stars Jonah Hill and Matthew McConaughey.

Professional Success, Extravagant Spending Beyond Reason──What Lies Beyond?

Jordan Belfort, with no academic background, experience, or connections, plunged into Wall Street's investment banking world at 22. From there, he founded his own securities firm at 26 with no initial capital, amassing an annual income of 4.9 billion yen. He achieved success through unconventional ideas and captivating oratory skills.


Belfort, who eventually became known as the "Wolf of Wall Street," shocked the public with his extravagant spending that defied all norms. However, a sensational downfall awaited him, as dramatic as his meteoric rise.──。

DiCaprio, who also served as a producer, spent six years bringing this passion project to fruition. Based on the true story of a man who turned greed into power, the film dynamically portrays his success and sensational ruin. For DiCaprio, this role, performed with unbridled energy and adrenaline, marks a significant turning point in his acting career.
