The Big Short trailer has premiered and a wild card in the Oscar Best Picture race may have announced itself.
Brad Pitt, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling and Christian Bale star in the story of how the big banks nearly brought down our economy in the late 2000s in a story written and directed by someone with a whip smart sense of humor — Adam McKay (Anchorman) — so you know there will be lighter moments as well.
Paramount Pictures and Regency Enterprises have just announced the release date for The Big Short. Expect to see it in limited release on December 11 and then the hotly anticipated flick will go wide on December 23.
The story of how four guys saw something in the economy that the government, the press and the banks themselves could not see… that’s some compelling drama.
