MOLLY’S GAME is based on the true story of Molly Bloom, an Olympic-class skier who ran the world’s most exclusive high-stakes poker game for a decade before being arrested in the middle of the night by 17 FBI agents wielding automatic weapons. Her players included Hollywood royalty, sports stars, business titans and finally, unbeknownst to her, the Russian mob. Her only ally was her criminal defense lawyer Charlie Jaffey, who learned that there was much more to Molly than the tabloids led us to believe.

The film seems like it’s going to be pretty dialogue-heavy, but it should be a well-crafted drama nonetheless. The trailer definitely suggests that Aaron Sorkin’s directorial debut will be a glossy but compelling piece with a strong cast.

Also, Michael Cera? We haven’t seen him in ages!
