Watch the new trailer for The Gambler with Mark Wahlberg rocking some shades and cards to the Stones' "Gimme Shelter."
The Gambler wants you to know a couple of things with its new trailer: first that a superb supporting cast, which includes Jessica Lange, John Goodman, and Brie Larson, are heavily featured in the film. Second, star Mark Wahlberg looks just as cool now wearing some sunglasses and kicking ass to the Rolling Stones’ “Gimme Shelter” as he did in The Departed. And yes, he really does.
As the first film from Rupert Wyatt since Rise of the Planet of the Apes, The Gambler appears to be an edgy thriller about what happens when not so good people get in over their heads? Hint, it’s always good to bet on black.
Wahlberg plays a literature professor (don’t laugh) who gets in rough with gangsters (Goodman) when he gambles away more than afford. Somehow, we suspect that is the tip of the iceberg for this intriguing vehicle.
The Gambler is letting it ride into theaters on December 19, 2014. It will also premiere this month at AFI Fest.
