According to The Hollywood Reporter, Martin Scorsese's WOLF OF WALL STREET will hit theaters just in time for Christmas, December 25, 2013.

Said Paramount chairman Brad Grey in announcing the news, "Marty's work is fantastic. He's continued to work on it but now it's officially going to be ready for Christmas Day and I'm delighted."

The movie boasts an all-star cast including Leonardo DiCaprio, Matthew McConaughey, Jonah Hill, Jean Dujardin, Rob Reiner, Kyle Chandler, Margot Robbie, Jon Bernthal, Cristin Milioti, P.J. Byrne and Ethan Suplee. It will now face tough competition on the holiday including The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, 47 Ronin, Grudge Match and the Justin Bieber documentary Believe.

WOLF OF WALL STREET tells the story of a New York stockbroker, played by DiCaprio, who refuses to cooperate in a large securities fraud case involving corruption on Wall Street, the corporate banking world and mob infiltration.

Directed by Martin Scorsese, the film is based on the memoir of the same name by Jordan Belfort. The screenplay was written by Terence Winter. The Wolf of Wall Street will make a fifth collaboration between Scorsese and DiCaprio.
