I don't know why I got hyped by a simple still of Meryl, but it's Meryl. That's enough I guess.
Nominating Meryl?? Yeah, that's what they do every year. Just a pic from an upcoming film will do for the academy.

Looks fun, and Oldman looks to be having a blast with this role.

Tonally and thematically it looks very close to The Informant, which is good news for me because I love that movie, but probably bad news for its award prospects. Oldman looks delightful, and I love the scene where all Banderas's phones start ringing and he doesn't know which one to pick up  |

Oh well, there many other hopefuls this year.

Looks like they took Wolf of Wall Street and had it breed with Erin Brockovich. I think it looks cool.
I'm just worried that maybe the tone will be all over the place.

Looks really cool. Funny and stylish. Don't know if that will help its awards prospects though.
Tbh, I didn't like Oldman... Looked like he plays a caricature of the bad guys he's played before (Stansfield and Zorg maybe...)

Not at all what I was expecting ... looks better than I was expecting actually ... at the very least should be fun. Getting serious Big Short vibes, but someone like Soderbergh feels perfect for pulling off that approach better than McKay.

I didn't think it looked very good, but I like what I see from Streep. I didn't imagine it'd be so satirical.

Looks great!
Oldman (who looks excellent here) & Banderas look like a pairing for the ages.

Depends on what you mean by "big", Judging by the trailer, I think he's somewhat over the top. More like cartoonish. What Joe Pesci would call "funny like a clown"! |

Oldman has often been hammy, but IMO usually in the wrong contexts. This looks like the right context. |

After all, the film does look to be quite comedic. |

Where the hell is Matthias Schoenaerts? And I do hope that Sharon Stone doesn't have a nothing role like the one she had in THE DISASTER ARTIST.
Other than that, looks pretty decent😁

This is completely different from what I pictured and not in a good way. Could be fun though but looks potentially very messy. Oldman looks awful, Streep decent.

I'm surprised everyone is crapping on Oldman here. I think he looks like a riot, especially as it's clearly being played for comedic value like The Informant!

Doesn't look like bp contender. Maybe a supporting nod.

That was definitely not the tone I was anticipating but this still looks like it could be fun and fascinating.
