Washington [US]: Paul Dano, Seth Rogen, Sebastian Stan and Pete Davidson will be seen headlining ‘Dumb Money’, an upcoming movie about the remaining year’s GameStop stock market explosion.
Based on the nonfiction e-book “The Antisocial Network” by way of Ben Mezrich, ‘Dumb Money’ is directed by Craig Gillespie, from a script penned with the aid of Rebecca Angelo and Lauren Schuker Blum, Variety stated.
Gillespie formerly collaborated with Stan on his 2017 film “I, Tonya” and directed him and Rogen in several episodes of this year’s Hulu restrained collection “Pam & Tommy.” Gillespie produces with Teddy Schwarzman and Ryder Picture Company.
As per the outlet, ‘Dumb Money’ focuses on the January 2021 ‘short squeeze’ movement around GameStop, where users of the Reddit page “Wall Street Bets” banded together to artificially increase the stock values of video game retail chain GameStop, which suffered from lagging stock prices for years.
The scenario ended in an important hedge budget in addition to impartial brief sellers taking giant financial losses, and it precipitated calls for more law in the stock marketplace. Filming for the mission, which focuses on the Reddit users at the back of the fast squeeze, is about to start this September
