Trailer Watch: Anna Gunn Juggles Money, Men, and Mayhem in “Equity”

Anna Gunn in “Equity”

Anna Gunn (“Breaking Bad”) is demanding equality in a male-dominated field. “Equity,” directed by Meera Menon (“Farrah Goes Bang”), dives into the investment banking’s powerful women.

The film’s official synopsis details the drama: “When Senior investment banker Naomi Bishop (Gunn) is passed over for a promotion at her firm, she fights for the opportunity to take a start-up public, hoping this promising IPO will secure her a place at the firm’s highest level. But when an employee at the start-up raises questions about a possible crack in the company’s walls, Naomi must decide whether to investigate rumors that may compromise the deal, or push forward with the confidence her superiors expect.

Soon Naomi finds herself tangled in a web of deception and office politics and begins to question if there is anyone she can trust. As the IPO draws closer, Naomi sees that the choices she has made for her career have left her very much alone. Forced to reexamine the rules of the cutthroat world she has always loved she finds herself in a fight for her very survival.”

This new, second trailer offers a little more insight into Alysia Reiner’s detective investigating hedge fund fraud and the key players surrounding Naomi’s schemes.

“Equity” will hit theaters on July 29. Watch the suspenseful second trailer below:
