Wolf of Wall Street: Exclusive Preview Screening with Jonah Hill

Actor Jonah Hill joins moderator Annette Insdorf preceding a preview of The Wolf of Wall Street (dir. Martin Scorsese, 179 min.)

The Wolf of Wall Street is based on the true story of stockbroker Jordan Belfort, whose rise and fall are played with ferocious intensity by Leonardo DiCaprio. From the American dream to corporate greed, Belfort goes from penny stocks and righteousness to IPOs and a life of corruption in the late 80s. Excess success and affluence in his early twenties as founder of the brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont warranted Belfort the title – “The Wolf of Wall Street.”

From a script by Terence Winter ("The Sopranos," "Boardwalk Empire") Scorsese offers a dizzying chronicle of late 1980s excess in sex, drugs and money, co-starring Matthew McConaughey, Margot Robbie and Kyle Chandler.

Jonah Hill earned an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor in Moneyball (2011), and has been gaining fans from his work in such comedies as Knocked Up and Superbad. He is not only an actor, but a producer (The Sitter, 21 Jump Street and the upcoming 22 Jump Street). In Scorsese's latest film, he plays the loose-cannon but loyal Donnie Azoff.
