While we wait and see what Darren Aronofsky decides to direct next, perhaps one might think they’ll find a similar brand of drama with one of his producing efforts, Zipper. Starring Patrick Wilson as a federal prosecutor on the fast track to political success, he risks his promising career and family life to indulge the ever-obsessive impulses of his secret addiction to escorts. Unfortunately, it was perhaps the worst film we saw at Sundance this year.
We said in our review, “From top to toe, Mora Stephens‘ Zipper plays like one of those sections in certain House of Cards episodes that feel cheap and easy and trashy. For a minute or two it’s fun, before it quickly becomes laborious and grating. This movie is almost two hours long.” Also starring Lena Headey, John Cho, Dianna Agron, Ray Winstone, Richard Dreyfuss, and more, check out the trailer and poster below ahead of a release next month.
Zipper opens in theaters and on demand on August 28th.
