The trailer for the forthcoming hostage thriller "Money Monster" provides the very first peek at director Jodie Foster's first collaboration with George Clooney and Julia Roberts.

Clooney plays a celebrity financial adviser who is the host of a "Mad Money"-like, investment-themed talk show.

British actor Jack O'Connell, who starred as Olympian-turned-war-hero in the Angelina Jolie-directed POW drama "Unbroken," plays a disgruntled viewer who, after making some bad investments, decides to hold Clooney's character hostage at gunpoint while live on air. The drama unfolds as the show's chief producer (played by Roberts) tries to manage the situation.

Also starring Caitriona Balfe (TV's Outlander), Dominic West (TV's The Affair), and Giancarlo Esposito (TV's Breaking Bad), the film was written by TV's "Grimm" writers Alan DiFiore and Jim Kouf and "We Are Marshall" scribe Jamie Linden.

"Money Monster" is set to open in theaters on May 13th.

synopsis:
In the taut and tense thriller Money Monster, Lee Gates (George Clooney) is a bombastic TV personality whose popular financial network show has made him the money wiz of Wall Street. But after he hawks a high tech stock that mysteriously crashes, an irate investor (Jack O'Connell) takes Gates, his crew, and his ace producer Patty Fenn (Julia Roberts) hostage live on air. Unfolding in real time, Gates and Fenn must find a way to keep themselves alive while simultaneously uncovering the truth behind a tangle of big money lies.
