Actress Shailene Woodley is set to play in Black Bear Pictures’ film ‘Dumb Money,’ alongside actor and comedian Pete Davidson, both as individuals intertwined in a David-vs-Goliath risk factor where tech-savvy hackers break into the stock market, with GameStop as the best bet.
The screenplay for the film will come from Rebecca Angelo and Lauren Schuker Blum, also executive producers for the much-anticipated film, based on Ben Mezrich’s book The Antisocial Network, where a struggle for the stock market climate is impacted through internet trolls and Reddit-ers, for a culturally, defining war against one of the biggest hedge funds on Wall Street.
Money cast will also include actors Paul Dano, Matt Reeve, Seth Rogen and Sebastian Stan. This will be the first time Davidson and Woodley will take part in a feature film together. The Fault in Our Stars actress has been busy with her current roles and own endeavors, including HBO’s upcoming show Three Women, and set to star in Robots, a science fiction comedy film, with actor Jack Whitehall from The Bad Education.
Former SNL host Davidson has been playing dual roles, starring in his own film King of Staten Island and dedicated to his recurring role in ABC’s The Rookie. Ryder Picture Company has partnered up with Black Bear’s Teddy Schwarzman. Michael Heimler, John Friedberg, and Mezrich are also executive producers, with Andrew Swett, Johnny Holland, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, and Kevin Ulrich.
