The financial crisis drama (tragedy? comedy?) “Margin Call” is beginning to take shape, just in time to capitalize on the 2008 financial crisis. Wait, what? That was two years ago? Oh, man, we are fucked. Way to tip us off, Hollywood. Kevin Spacey and Zachary Quinto were already announced as part of the cast, and now comes word that Carla Gugino (who we love, but isn’t that great an actress, really) and Stanley Tucci (Sometimes ditto?) have jumped aboard.
Princeton defines a “margin call” as “a demand by a broker that a customer deposit enough to bring his margin up to the minimum requirement,” so we’ll guess there’s some drama involved. The ensemble piece, directed by first-timer J.C. (Jesus?) Chandor details a 24 hour period when the financial crisis started to hit – very timely?
Enjoy the Carla Gugino picture. Happy Saturday!
