The newly released trailer for Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street" movie has traders and onlookers that lived through the go-go days of the '90s buzzing Monday.
In the movie, Leonardo DiCaprio plays former stockbroker Jordan Belfort, who was convicted of running boiler room scams that resulted in investor losses of approximately $200 million. The movie reenacts Belfort's out of control parties, drug use, and antics including organizing a midget-throwing contest to entertain brokers on his trading floor.
The trailer begins:
"The year I turned 26 I made $49 million, which really pissed me off because it was 3 shy of $1 million a week."
The movie is based on Belfort's memoir of the same name. Reportedly he made $1 million for the movie rights.
"The Wolf of Wall Street" is set to be released on November 15, 2013.
