Margin Call Movie Trailer: New Film About the Financial Crisis

Below is the movie trailer for the new financial film, Margin Call. It will be in theaters on October 21st, 2011 and features actors such as Kevin Spacey, Jeremy Irons, Demi Moore, Stanley Tucci, Paul Bettany, Simon Baker, and Zachary Quinto.

The movie is about the beginning stages of the financial crisis as it chronicles the final 24 hours of Lehman Brothers and is filmed from the viewpoint of people working at the (now extinct) Wall Street investment bank. The film is written and directed by J.C. Chandor.

Embedded below is the Margin Call movie trailer (email readers come to the site to watch):

While this movie probably won't top the legendary movie, Wall Street, hopefully Margin Call is at least better than Wall Street 2.

The Wall Street Journal is out with a three part series on the "End of Wall Street," which details the collapse of the modern investment banking world. (If you're an email subscriber, you'll have to come to the blog to see the videos).

Have to give a hat tip to Barry Ritholtz, who is on top of things as always and flagged these videos to everyone's attention.
