Sony Pictures has released the official trailer for Craig Gillespie’s “Dumb Money” starring Paul Dano, Pete Davidson, Vincent D’Onofrio, America Ferrera, Nick Offerman, Anthony Ramos, Sebastian Stan, Shailene Woodley & Seth Rogen. The film will be released in theaters on September 22nd.
Plot Synopsis: “Dumb Money” is the ultimate David vs. Goliath tale, based on the insane true story of everyday people who flipped the script on Wall Street and got rich by turning GameStop (yes, the mall videogame store) into the world’s hottest company. In the middle of everything is regular guy Keith Gill (Paul Dano), who starts it all by sinking his life savings into the stock and posting about it. When his social posts start blowing up, so does his life and the lives of everyone following him. As a stock tip becomes a movement, everyone gets rich – until the billionaires fight back, and both sides find their worlds turned upside down.
What do you all think of the trailer? Recalling the vibe of something like “The Big Short,” the insane story behind how a bunch of normal, everyday people shook Wall Street, is nothing we haven’t seen before but seeing director Craig Gillespie (“I, Tonya” & “Cruella“) tied to this makes me believe there will be a fun amount of energy injected into this. If nothing else, the cast is entertaining and filled with talented names to provide some intrigue. I question if anyone wants to see this story, but we’ll see how audiences respond. The chances of a TIFF world premiere right before its theatrical release seem pretty high. What do you all think, though?
