Julia Roberts will reunite with her “Ocean’s Eleven” co-star George Clooney for the Jodie Foster helmed “Money Monster”.
Jack O’Connell (“Unbroken”) is also onboard.
The Wrap had the scoop :
Clooney stars as Lee Gates, a bombastic financial TV personality who offers up stock advice on his hit show “Money Monster.”
O’Connell is being eyed to play Kyle Budwell, a blue-collar worker who’s fed up with being exploited by the sharks on Wall Street. With a baby on the way, he feels he has no choice but to take Lee hostage on the air in order to increase a stock’s value and expose the corporate crooks who have been deceiving the American public.
Roberts is nearing a deal to play Nancy Fenn, the director and executive producer of “Money Monster” who may serve as Clooney’s love interest.
In addition to the “Ocean’s” trilogy, Clooney and Reunite also worked on “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” together.
