The big-name dramatic film The Big Short has unveiled a theatrical poster featuring a cast list but not headshots of its A-list stars, unlike most movie posters. Directed by Adam McKay (Step Brothers), The Big Short stars Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, and Brad Pitt. The film’s based on a true story and adapted from Michael Lewis’ book by McKay and Charles Randolph.

Paramount Pictures and Regency Entertainment are releasing The Big Short in theaters during awards season, kicking off its theatrical run in limited release on December 11, 2015 and expanding in wide release on December 23rd.

The Plot:

When four outsiders saw what the big banks, media and government refused to, the global collapse of the economy, they had an idea: The Big Short. Their bold investment leads them into the dark underbelly of modern banking where they must question everyone and everything.
