A fast-paced, tense first trailer for the financial thriller “Money Monster” has been unleashed, promising to continue Hollywood’s foray into Wall Street excess and the darker side of finance.
The film follows in the footsteps of “The Big Short,” “The Wolf of Wall Street” and “99 Homes” by tackling the fallout from financial crashes, exploring a complicated system that director Jodie Foster calls “rigged for the elite” in an interview with Yahoo Movies.
“Money Monster” stars George Clooney as a larger-than-life TV personality with a financial channel show who is taken hostage on air by a man who holds him responsible for the loss of his life savings. Jack O’Connell plays the blue-collar worker who loses everything in just nine minutes after following a stock tip that collapses.
The film reunites Clooney with “Ocean’s” co-star Julia Roberts, who plays his producer, guiding him through a real-time hostage crisis from the control room.
“Money Monster” hits theaters March 31. Watch the trailer below:
