DiCaprio and Scorsese have teamed up for four films, and they will be back for their fifth with this movie. Scorsese an influential filmmaker, who has made iconic movies like "Taxi Driver," "Raging Bull," "Goodfellas," "The Color of Money," "The Departed," and "Hugo," is a cinematic master.
The Huffington Post reported that DiCaprio and Hill were found researching at The Bank of America for their roles in the movie.
Scorsese, who's been a strong advocate for using film to shoot movies rather than digital, has officially said goodbye to the traditional method with his new movie.
"It would appear that we've lost the battle. I think Marty just feels it's unfortunately over, and there's been no bigger champion of film than him," said his long time editor Thelma Schoonmaker, told Empire.
"The Wolf of Wall Street" will be released in 2013.
