Sony Pictures has released a trailer, poster and images for director Michael Winterbottom’s upcoming satire Greed which stars Steve Coogan as a British self-made billionaire who attempts to save his reputation and his retail empire with an extravagant party; take a look here…
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).
Greed is set for release on February 21st in the UK and features a cast that also includes David Mitchell, Isla Fisher, Asa Butterfield, Dinita Gohil, Sophie Cookson, Jonny Sweet, Asim Chaudhry, and Shirley Henderson.
