'Money Monster' Trailer Takes George Clooney (and Wall Street) Hostage
Director Jodie Foster's "Money Monster" is totally feelin' the Bern, giving an angry investor (Jack O'Connell) a chance to rail against Wall Street and the 1 percent by taking a financial show TV host hostage. George Clooney plays Lee Gates, "the wizard of Wall Street," who apparently gives crappy investment advice to the suckers who watch him on "Money Monster." Foster's thriller plays out in real-time as Lee and his producer, Patty Fenn (Julia Roberts), are taken hostage and have to try and stay alive while also uncovering the truth behind some big-money corruption.
It looks like a tense one. It could also, potentially, be a preachy one. But Wall Street angst is all the rage these days, and real-time thrillers/hostage situations tend to make for gripping drama. Just don't try this at home, angry people with guns!
"Money Monster" is scheduled for release on May 13, 2016.
