Dominic West (“The Affair”) has joined the cast of “Money Monster”, which Jodie Foster is directing for TriStar Pictures. George Clooney stars in the film as the “host of a stock investment show who makes a bad call on a hot stock. A disgruntled investor storms his studio with a gun in front of a live audience, and threatens to kill him if the stock price of the now beaten down stock doesn’t return to previous levels. West plays the CEO of the company that goes under, after the host touts his stock. The CEO tries to hide away in his private jet when the hostage situation unfolds and it becomes clear he is complicit in his company’s failure.” Julia Roberts and Jack O’Connell (“Unbroken”) are also onboard.
