Molly’s Game
The first full - length trailer forMolly ’s Gamehas arrive . Starring Jessica Chastain , the movie was pen by Oscar - win screenwriter Aaron Sorkin , and also marks his directorial entry . Based on a true story , Molly ’s Gamefollows 26 year - old Molly Bloom ( Chastain ) , a former skier and one - prison term Olympic wannabee , who find herself running the world ’s swelled surreptitious fire hook plot . The stake were high , and though Bloom cater for the likes of the Hollywood Elite , Russian mobsters and business moguls , she was finally caught .
As is often the suit with a distaff outlaw , the metier painted a certain picture of Bloom - and inMolly ’s Game , after her catch by the FBI , she sets out to leaven she ’s not the womanhood that the press portray , with the help of her criminal defense attorney , played by Idris Elba . TheMolly ’s Gameteaserdidn’t give much by regarding Molly ’s character , but the factual lagger ( see above ) offers a good smell at both her and Elba ’s case , as well as the overall movie itself .
There ’s no deny Sorkin has screenwriting pedigree;A Few Good Men , Charlie Wilson ’s War , Steve Jobs , andThe Social Networkare just a few of the pic that have cement his condition as one of the best screenplay writers act today , to say nothing of his piece of work on the small CRT screen ( with show such asThe West WingandThe Newsroom).Molly ’s Gamenow gives him the probability to stretch forth his talent still further , and being at the helm of this movie will no doubt bode well for future undertaking . The sack ofMolly ’s Gameis also perfectly time for awards season contention , and it seems potential that the movie will get more than a few awards nominating address .
Chastain is a huge talent ; the Oscar - nominated star is always refreshing to find out on screen , and it ’s bully to see her cement her leading - lady status . Elba , meanwhile , is renowned for his work on the diminished screenland and is long - overdue a breakout office on the with child screen . While his late turn inThe Dark Towerhas been praised , the motion-picture show itself has not , so hopefullyMolly ’s Gamewill give him the chance to be a substantial part of an ensemble cast .
Kevin Costner , Michael Cera , Brian d’Arcy James , Chris O’Dowd , Graham Greene , and Jeremy Strong also asterisk inMolly ’s Game ; an telling lineup and one that was no doubt assist by Sorkin ’s name being all over the project . Whether Sorkin can successfully make the saltation from write to directing , remains to be seen , but so far it all look very bright indeed .
