The Informant! trailer online

[MarcusAurelius]

The trailer for Steve Soderbergh's new drama comedy, 'The Informant!' is online.



The film, based on a factual book by Kurt Eichanwald, is the real-life (with liberties taken, I imagine) story of Mark Whitacre (Matt Damon), a whistle-blowing executive who informed on the dirty tricks of the agricultural company he worked for. The story was unusual, what with Whitacre having manic depression, and its easy to see the film propert in it. Its doubly interesting to see Soderbergh, a man whose work I watch from the sidelines with little actual interest, tackle this story in the form of a comedy. Hopefully, this means it won't be Oceans Thirteen, but judging by the trailer, it'll be a hell of a lot more fun than that. I love this trailer. It's an unusual direction to take at the story, but most of all? It's really funny.

The poster makes it look like a movie set at the Special Olympics.
