Do you know how many witches were burned at Salem? No? Well, then let Jessica Chastain tell you in the first trailer for Molly's Game.
Despite that memorable moment, Molly's Game isn't actually about witches – it's based on the true story of Molly Bloom, who for years ran the most exclusive high-end poker game in town.
Her games attracted Hollywood celebrities, sports stars, and billionaire businessmen. (Gossip lovers might remember her stories about Tobey Maguire from a few years back.) But it all came crashing down in 2011, when she was arrested by the FBI.
If that crisp, cutting rhythm of that dialogue seems familiar, that's because Molly's Game comes from Social Network writer and West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin. Molly's Game marks his first time stepping behind the camera as a director.
Molly's Game will debut at TIFF next month before rolling into theaters November 22.
