'Wolf Of Wall Street' Trailer Calls On 'Yeezus' [Watch Trailer]

Kanye West's "Yeezus" is not even in stores yet (the release date is June 18th) and it already has become part of the soundtrack to Martin Scorsese's upcoming movie "The Wolf on Wall Street." "Black Skinhead," a track off of Kanye's new album, accompanied the film's trailer that just launched today.

Just after the "Great Gatsby," Leonardo DiCaprio will star in this movie as yet another money making tycoon. However, this time the film is based on real-life events. The movie was inspired by the Jordan Belfort memoir "Wolf of Wall Street." Belfort established the Stratton Oakmont brokerage firm, which happens to be the influence for the movie "Boiler Room." He was later charged with securities fraud and money laundering and spent 22 months in jail.

The film might depict Belfort's downfall, but it has some quirky moments. In the trailer,   Matthew McConaughey makes an attempt to pronounce fugazi right while Jonah Hill can be seen cracking jokes. Plus, the hard hitting song "Black Skinhead" aids the energetic launch of the movie. Making hashtags and trending news, the trailer had the public atwitter.

If the music, dynamic director, and star studded cast don't entice, then maybe DiCaprio's lead quote in the trailer will. Above Kanye's lyrics, DiCaprio says, "The year I turned 26, I made $49 million, which really pissed me off because it was three shy of $1 million a week."
