Watch Brad Pitt and Ryan Gosling in trailer for Oscar-tipped The Big Short.
We're officially in Awards Season, and over the course of the next four months, we're going to see some huge movies. But perhaps none with a cast as big as The Big Short.
This upcoming drama assembles four of today's most sought after leading men, putting them all under one roof for a single admission price! Yes, for the first time, Brad Pitt will share the screen with Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale and Steve Carell. And it's sure to be epic.
When four outsiders see what the big banks, media and government refused to, the global collapse of the economy, they have an idea: The Big Short. Their bold investment leads them into the dark underbelly of modern banking where they must question everyone and everything. Based on the true story and best-selling book by Michael Lewis (The Blind Side, Moneyball), The Big Short also stars an ensemble of amazing talent that includes Karen Gillan, Marisa Tomei, Selena Gomez, Max Greenfield and Finn Wittrock.
The Big Short is now firmly positioned as one of Paramount's big contenders in the upcoming Oscar race.
"The Big Short" arrives in theaters December 11, 2015.
Hmm, with the movie sneaking up with awards noms, the reviews better than expected, and the Important Subject Matter, some think this could give fellow Important Subject Matter film Spotlight a run for its money at Best Picture...
If there were an Oscar for best dramatization of a derivative, it would surely go to behavioral economist Richard Thaler and singer Selena Gomez, playing themselves, at a blackjack table. The crowd lays bets on Gomez’s hand, then on each other’s bets. It’s just like a “synthetic CDO”—a derivative priced off complex mortgage securities that itself contains no mortgages.
