"The Wolf of Wall Street writer Terence Winter has spoken about Martin Scorsese&amp;#039;s upcoming drama. The film tells the true story of a successful Wall Street stock broker (Leonardo DiCaprio) whose downfall began after he failed to co-operate in a securities fraud case, which involved corruption and mob dealings.   Boardwalk Empire creator Winter, who collaborated with Scorsese on that show&amp;#039;s pilot episode, has adapted The Wolf of Wall Street from Belfort&amp;#039;s memoir of the same name. &amp;quot;[Belfort] had a rollercoaster ride of a life. He got into just about every drug on the planet, just unbelievable,&amp;quot; Winter told Empire.  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s the comic, tragic, at times horrifying story of this rise and fall of a Wall Street whizz kid, and it&amp;#039;s just not like any other movie involving that subject matter and it&amp;#039;s going to be terrific.&amp;quot; Jonah Hill, Matthew McConaughey, Jean Dujardin, Jon Favreau and Kyle Chandler round out the cast. Asked whether the film&amp;#039;s subject matter felt especially timely, Winter confirmed: &amp;quot;Yes, there&amp;#039;s certainly a lot going on in the world.  &amp;quot;If you think the mid-&amp;#039;90s were corrupt, hold that up to what&amp;#039;s going on now or what&amp;#039;s been going on since then.&amp;quot; The Wolf of Wall Street begins shooting in New York tomorrow (August 8) Watch the trailer for Scorsese&amp;#039;s last film Hugo below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
