Sony Pictures has released the trailer for Dumb Money, the Craig Gillespie-directed comedy-drama that recounts the wild tale behind the Reddit-fueled rise of GameStop, the first meme-stock to turn Wall Street and hedge-funders on their collective ear. Check out the trailer above and some first-look photos below.
Dumb Money Movie Trailer:
Paul Dano has Wall Street melting down in the first trailer for Dumb Money, the upcoming Sony dramedy about a real-life YouTuber who took on billionaire hedge fund managers with a short squeeze, or countering bearish trades, of GameStop’s stock.
“You got rich dudes pissing in their pants right now,” Dano’s character, Keith Gill, is told in the trailer. The David vs. Goliath tale has Gill and fellow retail traders turning GameStop, the brick-and-mortar video game store, into a hot stock after big hedge funds took heavy short positions in the company’s shares, betting their price would continue to fall.
As major Wall Street funds fight back, the Dumb Money trailer centers on Gill in the middle of an Internet stock trading frenzy. With his life savings invested in the GameStop stock and on the line, his social media posts on Reddit’s r/wallstreetbets forum online start blowing up, and so does his life and the lives of everyone following him.
