"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.

Adam McKay? Well, I guess he can do something completely different to what he has directed so far.

[CoolioD1]

Honestly, Adam McKay as a choice for this isn't surprising to me. Looking forward to it.

[Empire]

This should be great!

[Blankments]

Very interested in seeing how McKay handles this haha.

Nice cast. Pitt has been producing quality projects recently so I'll be looking forward to this.

The trailer says it's for a Christmas release.

[CoolioD1]

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.

[kayumanggi]

Kindly combine, anyone? I checked both the On the Lot and Main forum sections. It's not in the archives.

Threads merged. Thanks for the warning.

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.

[CoolioD1]

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.

[Jonwo]

Looks alright but i have a feeling it'll get be lost against the big contenders.
