'Molly's Game' Trailer

Transcript

00:00I'm Molly Bloom.

00:09Do you know about me?

00:12This is a true story.

00:14You ran games in LA for roughly eight years.

00:17Yeah.

00:18Then you ran games in New York for roughly two.

00:19I haven't run a game in over two years, not to spoil the ending.

00:23But that's when the government raided my game and took all of my money, assuming all of it was made illegally, which it wasn't.

00:30In this room, you couldn't buy your win.

00:32I'm all in.

00:33You couldn't buy me, and you couldn't buy a seat at the table.

00:35Who do we start? Athletes, billionaires, that's just the tip of the iceberg.

00:40You're not taking percentage of the pot?

00:42No.

00:43Keep it that way, because you don't want to break the law when you're breaking the law.

00:45Am I breaking the law?

00:46Not really.

00:47We're able to find out for sure, aren't we? Laws are written down.

00:52You had meetings in LA about your broken life rights.

00:54I did.

00:55You spent eight years running the world's most exclusive, glamorous, and decadent man cave.

00:59Guarantee the publishers certain elements, then I can get you a million and a half.

01:02What kind of elements?

01:03I passed.

01:04I'm just curious as to why you passed and what would appear to be the only way out you have.

01:08You have to use real names.

01:10Creative differences.

01:11The law that I'm accused of breaking defines gambling as betting on games of chance.

01:16Yes.

01:17Poker's in a game of chance. Poker's a game of skill.

01:20Why does a young woman who, at 22, has a gold-plated resume for you, why does she run poker games?

01:28Your risk is nuts.

01:29You're gonna get blown up.

01:30You got 2.8 million on the street right now. That money should be in your hands.

01:34Just how deep into the Russian mob were you?

01:37There's a new offer on the table. Complete immunity. We hand over the hard drive.

01:44You've seen what's on those hard drives. Families, lives, careers will be ruined.

01:48Why are you in this alone? Where are the people you're protecting by not telling the whole story?

01:52It's not their names. I'm protecting Charlie. It's mine.

01:55Tell me why.

01:56Because it's all I have left. Because it's my name.
