Sony Pictures UK have released the final trailer for Michael Winterbottom’s satire Greed Starring Steve Coogan and Isla Fisher.
GREED tells the story of self-made British billionaire Sir Richard McCreadie (Steve Coogan), whose retail empire is in crisis.
For 30 years he has ruled the world of retail fashion. Bringing the high street to the catwalk and the catwalk to the high street but after a damaging public inquiry, his image is tarnished.
To save his reputation, he decides to bounce back with a highly publicised and extravagant party celebrating his 60th birthday on the Greek island of Mykonos.
A satire on the grotesque inequality of wealth in the fashion industry, the film sees McCreadie’s rise and fall through the eyes of his biographer, Nick (David Mitchell).
The satire was written by Winterbottom and is produced by DJ Films’ Damian Jones and Melissa Parmenter.
Meet the Cast
The film features an all-star cast including Isla Fisher (Nocturnal Animals, Wedding Crashers), David Mitchell (Peep Show, Upstart Crow), Asa Butterfield (Sex Education, Journey’s End), Sophie Cookson (Kingsman franchise, Red Joan), Dinita Gohil (The Infiltrator, The Snowman), Jamie Blackley (The Last Kingdom, Traitors), Shanina Shaik (The Mummy), Tim Key (Alan Partridge series, Pls Like), Sarah Solemani (Bridget Jones’s Baby, Him & Her), Asim Chaudhry (People Just Do Nothing, Happy New Year, Colin Burstead), Ollie Locke (Made in Chelsea, Plebs), Pearl Mackie (Doctor Who), Jonny Sweet (Johnny English Strikes Again, Loaded), Shirley Henderson (Stan & Ollie, T2 Trainspotting) and Stephen Fry (The Hobbit series, Gosford Park).
The original trailer was jam packed full of comedy, glitz and glamour.
Greed will show the rise and fall of Steve Coogans character.
There is an hilarious scene in the original trailer where McCreadie (Steve Coogan) tries to book celebrities for his party but none of them attend.
As a result he ends up hiring various lookalikes to the party instead. Well worth watching the trailer for that scene alone.
The new trailer gives us more of a glimpse at the sunny locations rather than any new content of note. Beautiful villas and a luxury lifestyle.
I certainly hope the film matches the quality of the cinematography!
Greed movie is coming to cinemas February 21st
