FX has revealed a trailer for its upcoming anthology series Trust. Directed by Danny Boyle and written by Simon Beaufoy, it revolves around the true story of the kidnapping of John Paul Getty III and stars Donald Sutherland, Harris Dickinson, Hilary Swank, Brendan Fraser, and Michael Esper; watch the trailer here…
“The first installment takes place in 1973, when the young Getty is kidnapped in Rome and his mafia captors are banking on a multi-million dollar ransom. After all, what rich family wouldn’t pay for the return of a loved one? ‘Trust’ charts the young man’s nightmare ordeal at the hands of kidnappers who cannot understand why nobody seems to want their captive back. The Italian police think it’s a prank and decline to investigate. Paul’s father is lost in a heroin daze in London and refuses to answer the phone. Paul’s grandfather — possibly the richest man in the world — is marooned in a Tudor mansion in the English countryside surrounded by five mistresses and a pet lion. He’s busy. Only Paul’s mother is left to negotiate with increasingly desperate kidnappers. Problem is, she’s broke.”
Trust premieres on March 25th on FX.
