Cities
“Elizabethtown” duo Kirsten Dunst and Orlando Bloom will reteam for Roger Donaldson’s new thriller that’s already got Clive Owen and Anil Kapoor onboard. ”The film is a cautionary tale about greed and ambition that takes place in the exuberant months leading up to the Dow Jones all-time stock market high. Fortunes, both big and small are put at risk as people around the globe gamble that the financial market’s meteoric rise will continue. In New York, a hedge fund manager (Owen) has everything he wants – money, sex and power, but he wants more. In London, a young couple just want to buy their first home, but it seems impossibly out of reach. In Mumbai, a cop fights against corruption between property speculators and his villainous colleague Seth (Kapoor).” (Deadline)
