When Walt Disney’s daughters begged him to make a movie of
their favorite book, P.L. Travers’ “Mary Poppins,” he made them a
promise—one that he didn’t realize would take 20 years to keep. In his
quest to obtain the rights, Walt comes up against a curmudgeonly,
uncompromising writer who has absolutely no intention of letting her
beloved magical nanny get mauled by the Hollywood machine. But, as the
books stop selling and money grows short, Travers reluctantly agrees to
go to Los Angeles to hear Disney’s plans for the adaptation.

Revered filmmaker Martin Scorsese directs the story of New York stockbroker Jordan Belfort
(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.”
Money. Power. Women. Drugs. Temptations were for the taking
and the threat of authority was irrelevant. For Jordan and his wolf
pack, modesty was quickly deemed overrated and more was never enough.
