Today it was announced by Steve Beeks of Lionsgate and Howard Cohen of Roadside Attractions that they have teamed to acquire and release J.C. Chandor‘s thriller, Margin Call for a 2011 release.

Here’s the official synopsis from Sundance:
Set in the high-stakes world of the financial industry, Margin Call is a thriller entangling the key players at an investment firm during one perilous 24-hour period in the early stages of the 2008 financial crisis. When entry-level analyst Peter Sullivan (Zachary Quinto) unlocks information that could prove to be the downfall of the firm, a roller-coaster ride ensues as decisions both financial and moral catapult the lives of all involved to the brink of disaster. Expanding the parameters of genre, Margin Call is a riveting examination of the human components of a subject too often relegated to partisan issues of black and white.
This is one movie I am really looking forward to seeing in theaters. The cast is amazing and it looks as though it was beautifully shot from the stills I have seen. Check out the stills from Margin Call HERE.
