Second Trailer Hits for Adam McKay's Banker Comedy 'The Big Short'

Written by

“We can do everything straight and still go broke.” Paramount has debuted another new full-length trailer for Adam McKay’s The Big Short, which is earning buzz after premiering at the AFI Fest in Los Angeles earier this month (read Marco’s review here). The movie is about a group of bankers who see the financial crash about to come and attempt to plan around it. The film stars quite a cast of major actors: Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Karen Gillan, Marisa Tomei, Melissa Leo, Rafe Spall and Brad Pitt. I still can’t tell if this is a parody of a trailer for an actual drama about bankers in the financial crisis, or whether it’s actually played this dry and melodramatic in the movie. I’m hoping there’s more to laugh at. ›››
