I feel like the official trailer for Paramount+’s Jerry & Margo Go Large should have come with a “don’t try this at home” warning label. Bryan Cranston and Annette Bening star as a couple of lottery players who figure out how to game the system in this comedy based on true events.
The cast also includes Larry Wilmore, Rainn Wilson, Anna Camp, Ann Harada, Jake McDorman, Michael McKean, and Uly Schlesinger.
Oscar winner David Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada) directs from a screenplay by Emmy nominee Brad Copeland (Arrested Development), based on an article published in The Huffington Post by Jason Fagone. Oscar nominee Gil Netter, Levantine Films, and MRC Film’s Landline Pictures’s Amy Baer produced, with Kevin Halloran executive producing.
Jerry & Marge Go Large is a Paramount Pictures’ Players label and MRC Film’s Landline Pictures production.
The film will premiere on June 17, 2022 exclusively on Paramount+.
Paramount+ released the following synopsis:
“Jerry & Marge Go Large is inspired by the remarkable true story of retiree Jerry Selbee (Cranston), who discovers a mathematical loophole in the Massachusetts lottery and, with the help of his wife, Marge (Bening), wins millions and uses the money to revive their small Michigan town.”
