It’s clearly time to cut a deal. The country estate with horses where he discusses his options with his attorney Manny Riskin (Jon Favreau) is Mill Hill Farm , a private horse farm in Wainscott on Long Island .
There’s plenty more CGI for Belfort’s ill-fated journey to Europe. The upper deck of the Naomi was built on a soundstage at Kaufman Astoria Studios , while the live-action shots of the storm at sea were filmed in the parking lot of Steiner Studios in Brooklyn .
The beachfront home with its pool parties, ‘ludes and some wildly inappropriate behaviour from Donnie, is on Hoffstot Lane (just north of the end of Vanderbilt Lane) on the north coast of Sands Point , on Long Island . You might not realise how much CGI there is in the film. Although the house is real, it stands alone – the neighbouring homes are added digitally. here
Flashing back to Belfort’s beginnings, he’s seen arriving in the city, alongside the New York Stock Exchange with its vast Stars and Stripes on Nassau Street (actually just off Wall Street), to take up his first ‘pond scum’ job with LF Rothschild.
He moves up to his first job as a licensed broker at the Equitable Building, 120 Broadway , just in time for 1987’s catastrophic Black Monday and immediate joblessness.
Jordan Belfort has a message for anyone who saw The Wolf of Wall Street, and walked out of the theatre wanting to emulate the character played by Leonardo DiCaprio.
But even though movie audiences have seemingly revelled in the high-flying, hard-partying lifestyle portrayed in the film, based on the autobiography Mr. Belfort wrote while in prison, the Wolf says he is concerned some movie-goers won't get the point. Just as the movie Wall Street spawned a generation of Gordon Gekko wannabes in the 1980s, Mr. Belfort says he hopes young brokers don't see his early years – fuelled by drugs and ill-gotten gains – as something to aspire to. here

The highlight of The Wolf of Wall Street from a sunglasses perspective is the Ray-Ban 4147 (above) worn by Leonardo DiCaprio during a yacht scene.
The Ray-Ban 4147 isn’t the only Ray-Ban DiCaprio wears. In an earlier scene, he combines a pair of Ray-Ban Original Wayfarers (one of our favorites) with a crisp white Ralph Lauren polo-shirt for a look that on paper appears quite simple, but on the big screen still manages to ooze wealth and success (pictured above). here
The Wolf of Wall Street is one of the most stylish films of the last few years. In amongst all the corruption and excess is a seriously cool 80’s wardrobe full of sharp tailoring, power ties, and slick haircuts. The sunglasses in The Wolf of Wall Street also really stand out; particularly the Ray-Bans worn by Leonardo DiCaprio and the two-tone aviators worn by Jonah Hill.

Circling back to where we started, reading scripts is hugely important. Analyzing them even more so. If you want to work in Hollywood as a writer, you need to develop your critical analytical skills. This is one way to do that.

After a first pass, it’s time to crack open the script for a deeper analysis and you can do that by creating a scene-by-scene breakdown. It is precisely what it sounds like: A list of all the scenes in the script accompanied by a brief description of the events that transpire.For purposes of this exercise, I have a slightly different take on scene. Here I am looking not just for individual scenes per se, but a scene or set of scenes that comprise one event or a continuous piece of action. Admittedly this is subjective and there is no right or wrong, the point is simply to break down the script into a series of parts which you then can use dig into the script’s structure and themes.
