After winning an Oscar for Argo, Ben Affleck is taking a little time off from directing as he’s just starring in Runner Runner, opposite Justin Timberlake. Not the first trailer for the movie has popped up online.
The film follows a Princeton student (Justin Timberlake) who loses his tuition due to an online gaming addiction – although he’s smart enough to work out the site he’s on is actually cheating him. He heads off to the tropical island where the site is run from to try to get his cash back, but ends up becoming the sidekick to the site’s corrupt boss (Ben Affleck).
The movie is due out in September.

The marketing of Man Of Steel has gone from one extreme to the other, starting off slow, moody and contemplative, and getting increasingly bombastic until we get this trailer, which has little dialogue and is instead essentially two minutes of special effects money shots.
Corporate thrillers are often a difficult sell because it’s tough to make them look all that interesting in the space of 2 minutes and 30 seconds, as even with plenty of action, it’s still men in suits looking serious. It’s a slightly problem with Paranoia, although at least the trailer suggests it could be okay.
Following the success of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, there’s been a lot of interest taking more John Le Carre’s stories to the screen.
