“People are dead. There’s too much loss for it to just be a coincidence.” Lionsgate has unveiled an official trailer for a dark comedy thriller titled Greedy People, the latest from Old Henry director Potsy Ponciroli. It’s set for a release in select theaters in August, though there’s not much buzz about it yet. Perhaps with more time? The “darkly comedic crime thriller” film follows the residents of a small island town who must navigate a sensational murder and the discovery of a million dollars (at the crime scene), leading to a series of increasingly terrible decisions that upend the once peaceful community. “A million dollars. A million bad decisions.” Starring Himesh Patel, Lily James, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, along with Simon Rex, Traci Lords, Tim Blake Nelson, Joey Lauren Adams, Uzo Aduba, Nina Arianda, & Jim Gaffigan. This seems a bit too erratic and messy, jumping all over place with these wacky townspeople. Have a look…
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Potsy Ponciroli’s Greedy People, direct from Lionsgate’s YouTube:
In this darkly comedic crime thriller, rookie cop Will (Himesh Patel) and his rogue partner Terry (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) upend their small island town when they accidentally discover one million dollars stashed at a crime scene (of their own making). After the duo unwisely decides to steal the money on their own, the community’s quirky residents are lured into the mad dash for the cash — ranging from an expectant mom (Lily James) to a masseur (Simon Rex) to a shrimp company owner (Tim Blake Nelson) — and everyone learns just how far they are all willing to go to get their hands on the almighty dollar. Greedy People is directed by indie producer / filmmaker Potsy Ponciroli, director of the films Super Zeroes and Old Henry previously, plus a few other projects. The screenplay is written by Mike Vukadinovich. Produced by David Boies, Kevin M. Brennan, Shannon Houchins, Chris Parker, Zack Schiller, Dylan Sellers. Lionsgate debuts Ponciroli’s Greedy People in select US theaters starting August 23rd, 2024 coming soon. Look any good?
