‘The Big Short’ Trailer: McKay’s movie on the Housing Crisis enlists Bale, Pitt, and Gosling
This movie has certainly come out of left field for me. Adam McKay and a bevy of sexy, talented actors are taking on the scumfucks and the 2008 Housing Crisis? Interesting. Interesting indeed. I’ll see it.
Star-studded ensemble prestige dramas might be to the fall season what superhero movies are to the summer one. Following Black Mass and ahead ofThe Martian comes the first trailer for The Big Short, starring Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Brad Pitt, and Ryan Gosling as four men who bet against the banks ahead of the 2008 financial crisis.
The Big Short is the first drama by Adam McKay, better known for comedies like Anchorman, Step Brothers, and The Other Guys. McKay and Charles Randolph (Love & Other Drugs) wrote the screenplay based on the nonfiction book by Michael Lewis (Moneyball). Watch The Big Short trailer after the jump.
