Mark Wahlberg’s The Gambler Trailer

published 23 October 2014

How’s this for a life-mantra? “A wise man’s life is based around ‘Fuck you’.”

John Goodman dishes out the advice to Mark Wahlberg in the first trailer for Paramount’s upcoming crime drama The Gambler.

The film, which is a remake of the 1974 movie starring James Caan, is directed by Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes director Rupert Wyatt. Wahlberg takes the lead role as a gambling-addicted literature professor, while Jessica Lange, Brie Larson and Michael K. Williams are also cast. Goodman appears as a cantankerous loan shark. Not that there's such a thing as an easy-going loan shark, we'd presume.

You can watch the trailer below.

The Gambler is due in the US this December, but not until May 1 in the UK

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
