KINOLOGY

It is an April day in the year 2000 and an era is about to end. The booming times of market optimism — when the culture boiled with money and

corporations seemed more vital and influential than governments — are poised to crash. Eric Packer (Pattinson), a billionaire asset manager at agetwenty-eight, emerges from his penthouse triplex and settles into his lavishly customized white stretch limousine. Today he is a man with two
missions: to pursue a cataclysmic bet against the yen and to get a haircut across town. Stalled in traffic by a presidential motorcade, a music idol’sfuneral, and a violent political demonstration, Eric receives a string of visitors — experts on security, technology, currency, finance, and a few sexual partners — as the limo sputters toward an increasingly uncertain future. 

Based on the novel by Don DeLillo. (Giamatti plays the dual role of Benno
Levin/Richard Steers. / Production office opens Mid-March.)
