“In ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ DiCaprio would play Belfort, a Long Island penny stockbroker who served 20 months in prison for refusing to cooperate in a massive 1990s securities fraud case that involved widespread corruption on Wall Street and in the corporate banking world, including mob infiltration,” says IMDb.com.

The book movie is based on the 2007 memoir by Jordan Belfort, who is now a motivational speaker, of the same title that accounts Belfort’s life as hard partying Wall Street stockbroker. Huffington Post reports that the movie involves graphic sex scenes and heavy drug use.
