Sony Pictures has released the trailer for Dumb Money, the Craig Gillespie-directed comedy-drama that recounts the wild tale behind the Reddit-fueled rise of GameStop, the first meme-stock to turn Wall Street and hedge-funders on their collective ear. Check out the trailer above and some first-look photos below.
Paul Dano leads an ensemble cast alongside Pete Davidson, Vincent D’Onofrio, America Ferrera, Nick Offerman, Anthony Ramos, Sebastian Stan, Shailene Woodley and Seth Rogen. The Columbia Pictures/Stage 6/Black Bear Pictures movie hits theaters September 22.
Dano plays Keith Gill, who starts it all by sinking his life savings into the flailing GameStop stock and posting about it (remember r/WallStreetBets?). When the 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.
The script was written by Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo based on Ben Mezrich’s book The Antisocial Network. Aaron Ryder, Teddy Schwarzman and Gillespie are producers; Mezrich executive produces with Michael Heimler, John Friedberg, Johnny Holland, Schuker Blum, Andrew Swett, Angelo, Kevin Ulrich, and Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss.
