It is fantastic to see Jodie Foster back behind the camera as director with the debut of the trailer for her latest, Money Monster. George Clooney and Julia Roberts are reunited (after their work on Ocean’s 11) and are joined by Unbreakable star Jack O’Connell in a tale of a kidnapping that is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the crimes going on behind the scenes in Money Monster.
Clooney (soon to be seen in Hail, Caesar!) is the host of the wildly popular money-making TV show that shares the moniker with the name of Foster’s film. O’Connell, desperate and perceivably out of options, takes Clooney hostage live on the air and thus begins our calvacade of truths and lies that will ultimately add up to what looks like one astounding thriller.
Roberts plays Clooney’s longtime producer who will be integral into how this day unfolds. Look for Money Monster in theaters May 13.
