Academy-nominated actress Jessica Chastain stars as the Molly Bloom, the Olympic-class skier turned ‘Poker Princess’ in Aaron Sorkin’s directorial debut feature ‘Molly’s Game’.
Following the true crime story of Molly Bloom, the film is also written by Sorkin, whose previous works include The Social Network, Steve Jobs, The Newsroom among others.
The fresh new trailer lets us in on Bloom’s story and her beginnings as an office assistant who helps her boss run his poker game. Her stint didn’t turn out so well and soon after, she finds herself heading one of the biggest and most exclusive high-stakes underground poker ring. Apart from the Russian mob, her patrons include Hollywood A-listers, business titans and famous sports stars. Her only ally is her criminal defence lawyer Charlie Jaffey (Idris Elba), who learned that there was much more to Molly than the tabloids led us to believe.
The film also stars Kevin Costner, Chris O'Dowd, Michael Cera, and Rachel Skarsten.
As of the time of publication, there is no official opening date in Singapore.
