Yes, some of us at The Playlist have seen the 3-hour ode to excess “The Wolf Of Wall Street,” and no, we’re not able to talk about it yet. But we can say this: when looking over the tracklisting for the upcoming soundtrack release, one of us quipped, “How is this soundtrack not a 5-disc box set?” Indeed, there is a lot of music in Martin Scorsese‘s upcoming epic but sixteen of those tracks have been rounded up into one place and it’s a pretty good mix.
Perhaps continuing a movie music year dominated by roots music (see “Inside Llewyn Davis” and “The Broken Circle Breakdown“), “The Wolf Of Wall Street” rolls hard with blues and jazz featuring Cannonball Adderley, Ahmad Jamal, Bo Diddley and Howlin’ Wolf. A little bit of pop shines through with Billy Joel, while The Lemonheads add a distinct ’90s flavor to the proceedings.
The disc will be yours to own digitally on December 17th, with the movie arriving on Christmas Day. Below, you can check out those ads, the full soundtrack tracklisting plus a new international poster for the movie. [Film Music Reporter/IMPA]
