Plain Old Tele Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 http://variety.com/2015/film/news/brad-pitt-christian-bale-and-ryan-gosling-to-star-in-financial-drama-the-big-short-exclusive-1201404038/ "The Big Short" is a Michael Lewis book about the 2008 housing crisis and eventual financial crash. Like all Lewis books, it's tremendously entertaining and features a few outsiders who believe something everyone else either thinks is foolish or refuses to believe. What a friggin' great cast! Honestly, the only potential red flag here is McKay... I hope he's got the chops for something with a big of heft and drama as well as comedy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Adam McKay? Well, I guess he can do something completely different to what he has directed so far. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Honestly, Adam McKay as a choice for this isn't surprising to me. Looking forward to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayumanggi Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 is it on the lot if it has a trailer and a date mentioned in the trailer? food for thought. I checked BOM and it's listed as TBD. I saw the "Christmas" date late. Maybe a mod can just move it to the main one once we get a confirmed date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayumanggi Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Kindly combine, anyone? I checked both the On the Lot and Main forum sections. It's not in the archives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatebox Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Hard to argue with that cast (and their ridiculous hair), but I get the feeling from the trailer that it'll be a well-meaning hot mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I'm pretty sure the bit in the trailer where ryan gosling is talking directly to the camera he's in the exact same office leo was in when he was talking directly to the camera in wolf of wall street.
