Paramount has announced The Gambler starring Mark Wahlberg, the official trailer can be seen below:
Jim Bennett (Academy Award® nominee Mark Wahlberg) is a risk taker. Both an English professor and a high-stakes gambler, Bennett bets it all when he borrows from a gangster (Michael Kenneth Williams) and offers his own life as collateral. Always one step ahead, Bennett pits his creditor against the operator of a gambling ring (Alvin Ing) and leaves his dysfunctional relationship with his wealthy mother (Academy Award® winner Jessica Lange) in his wake. He plays both sides, immersing himself in an illicit, underground world while garnering the attention of Frank (John Goodman), a loan shark with a paternal interest in Bennett’s future. As his relationship with a student (Brie Larson) deepens, Bennett must take the ultimate risk for a second chance…
This story is very relatable to people who are fond of gambling as it takes it to another level. The next time you feel the fresh bet credit offers at bet365 and find yourself very confident that you’ll get them, think how uncool you are compared to Jim Bennet.
THE GAMBLER is in select theaters starting December 19th
