Equity
Equity is a movie that has been playing well on the festival circuit so far this year, screening at the likes of Sundance and Tribecca in recent months.
The movie marks the return of Meera Menon to the director's chair in what will be only the second feature film of her career. The filmmaker made her directorial debut back in 2013 with Farah Goes Bang. Amy Fox has penned the screenplay.
Anna Gunn is set to take on the central role of Naomi Bishop while James Purefoy, Sarah Megan Thomas, Alysia Reiner, Craig Bierko, and Margaret Colin make up the talented cast list.
Equity is a financial thriller that delves under the skin of the aggressive and ruthless world of Wall Street. Led by an all-female cast, the film showcases real women who thrive on ambition and aren't afraid of a little competition.
When a controversial financial deal threatens the fragile balance of power and confidentiality, investment banker Naomi (Gunn) finds herself entangled in a web of politics and deception.
With an aggressive prosecutor (Reiner) from her past on her heels, and a strained relationship with a junior colleague (Purefoy) Naomi is forced to examine her own ambitions and the cutthroat world she loves - one where women have yet to break the glass ceiling.
It is unusual to see financial themed movies driven by a central female character and it seems that Equity is going to be a breath of fresh air for this genre of film.
Equity is released 2nd September.
