Sony today released the official poster for ‘Dumb Money’, which is based on Ben Mezrich’s novel The Antisocial Network, the film chronicles the events of the 2021 boom of GameStop stock prices that marked the rise of so-called meme stocks and began a war between amateur investors and the billionaires at the very top.
Paul Dano and Seth Rogen lead an all-star cast in the film that includes Pete Davidson, Vincent D’Onofrio, America Ferrera, Nick Offerman, Anthony Ramos, Sebastian Stan, and Shailene Woodley.
Dumb Money is the ultimate David vs. Goliath tale, based on the insane true story of everyday people who flipped the script on Wall Street and got rich by turning GameStop (yes, the mall videogame store) into the world’s hottest company. In the middle of everything is regular guy Keith Gill (Paul Dano), who starts it all by sinking his life savings into the stock and posting about it. When his social posts start blowing up, so does his life and the lives of everyone following him. As a stock tip becomes a movement, everyone gets rich – until the billionaires fight back, and both sides find their worlds turned upside down.
Dumb Money is scheduled to premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival, before going into commercial release on September 22, 2023, by Sony Pictures Releasing.
