“In the real-time, high stakes thriller Money Monster, financial TV host Lee Gates (George Clooney) and his producer Patty (Julia Roberts) are put in an explosive situation when an irate investor (Jack O’Connell) takes over their studio.”
Directed by actress turned director Jodie Foster, who has an impressive 75 acting credits on her resume, Money Monster stars Julia Roberts, George Clooney, and Jack O'Connell. The film is a thrilling take on the ups and downs of the stock market and what can happen when someone truly feels like they have nothing to lose. I am a huge George Clooney fan and Julia Roberts always aims to please as well so I am excited for Money Monster. A fun fact is that the screenplay was featured in the 2014 Blacklist; a list of the "most liked" unmade scripts of the year. Check out the trailer below.
