George Clooney can't catch a break. It seems that after he gets kidnapped in Coen brothers' new comedy "Hail, Caesar!," Clooney will then be forced at gunpoint to wear a bomb vest in the financial-themed thriller "Money Monster."

In a new international trailer, we see Clooney as Lee Gates, a Wall-Street whiz, who is also the shameless host of a financial advice TV show. When one of his disgruntled viewers (played by "Unbroken" star Jack O'Connell) sneaks onto the set with a loaded gun and a lofty mission to exposed a broken financial system, Gates suddenly finds himself at the center of a live-on-air hostage standoff.

Meanwhile, Gates' TV producer (played by Julia Roberts) is trying to keep things moving calmly and peacefully from inside the show's control room.

Co-starring Caitriona Balfe (TV's Outlander), Dominic West (TV's The Affair), and Giancarlo Esposito (TV's Breaking Bad), the movie is directed by Oscar-winning actress Jodie Foster, who had recently helmed episodes for "Orange Is the New Black" and "House of Cards," but hasn't directed a feature film since 2011's Mel Gibson-starrer "The Beaver."

"Money Monster" is hitting 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.
