Upcoming film Dumb Money is gathering quite a roster of stars, as Marvel's Sebastian Stan, The Batman's Paul Dano, Saturday Night Live's Pete Davidson and Seth Rogen have all signed on, according to Deadline.
The film, based on Ben Mezrich's book The Antisocial Network, will be directed by Pam & Tommy's Craig Gillespie, and produced by Black Bear. Filming is expected to start in October.
In 2021, a group of amateur investors decided to buy a large amount of stock in struggling bricks-and-mortar video game shop Game Stop, a move that nearly brought Wall Street to its knees. MGM bought the rights to the story very shortly after it happened, although now the previously-mentioned Black Bear has taken over production.
Producer Teddy Schwarzman said of the film: "Lauren [Schuker Blum] and Rebecca [Angelo] have masterfully adapted Ben Mezrich's exceptional book detailing one of the greatest underdog stories of our time.
"Craig Gillespie is a tremendous leader with exceptional vision and has assembled a tremendous ensemble. We're honoured to partner with him, Aaron Ryder and this terrific team, in front and behind the camera, to bring Dumb Money to audiences everywhere."
