'Wolf Of Wall Street' Cuts Sex Scenes To Avoid NC-17 Rating

"The Wolf of Wall Street" will still be the longest film of the holiday season, just shy of three hours, even after trimming a few steamy scenes.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio flick had to cut out drug and sex scenes in order to get an R-rating from the MPAA.

It's no secret Scorsese's next movie - following the downward spiral of stockbroker Jordan Belfort - has had to return to the edit bay.

Originally, the film was set to be released mid-November before getting pushed back.

It then looked like the film may not come out until next year before it finally settled on a December 25 release.

At two hours and 59 minutes, "The Wolf of Wall Street" will be Scorsese's longest movie yet.
