Runner Runner is the latest film from Brad Furman, a young director making big waves in the movie industry. Starring Ben Affleck, Justin Timberlake and Gemma Arterton, and produced by Leonardo DiCaprio, the film has some serious talent behind it – and looks fun and stylish, too boot.
The plot follows Richie (Timberlake), a college student at Princeton who tries to earn his fees with online gambling. Everything seems to be going according to plan, until, in one moment, he goes bust. Furious, he arranges to meet the man who he feels has cheated him out of winnings – the off-shore sleazeball Ivan (Affleck). But Ivan’s charm, and charmed life, seduce Richie, and before he knows it, he finds himself being Ivan’s right-hand man. Little does he realise that the FBI are watching him, and want to use him to bring Ivan down.
Runner Runner will be released in October. For more information, visit runnerrunnermovie.com
