All-star cast in Margin Call
Description
Many films boast an all-star cast but few actually deliver.
Financial thriller "Margin Call" sees Hollywood heavyweights Demi Moore, Kevin Spacey, Stanley Tucci and Paul Bettany amongst its list of actors.
The film takes on the financial crisis of 2008, following the players at one investment firm as their world and eventually the entire country begins to collapse.
"Star Trek"'s Zachary Quinto says the film is not like other movies about Wall Street and instead offers a more philosophical view of the crisis.
SOUNDBITE: Zachary Quinto, Actor, saying (English):
"It's much more contemplative and much more introspective as a film then I think other movies in this genre have been."
The actor - who also recently came out as gay - said the support he's received has been immense.
SOUNDBITE: Zachary Quinto, Actor, saying (English):
"I mean it's been unanimously supportive and I've been met with nothing but encouragement and I'm grateful for that."
Bettany had high praise for Spacey and his fellow cast members.
SOUNDBITE: Paul Bettany, Actor, saying (English):
"It's their film, you know, you've come in to support them, whatever. But in this movie everybody, there was a real sort of camaraderie. And Kevin really set the bar high and on the first day he did his big monologue of the movie and he did it once and then we all moved on."
Tucci joked the complexity of the financial crisis had him scratching his head.
SOUNDBITE: Stanley Tucci, saying (English):
"I'm not a financial guy, I don't understand half of what I said in the movie."
The film couldn't be more timely with the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations celebrating its one month anniversary, with a few of the actors spending time with the protesters.
"Margin Call" is out in U.S. cinemas on January 21.
