Was hoping we'd get to see it sooner than next spring but oh well.

Read somewhere that this one would be considered more as the "Inside Man"(in which Judie stars) type thriller in a spring release date...haven't seen that film but still hope "Money Monster" turns out to be thrilling.
Two George films in two months! YAY! Next spring can't come sooner...

I don't care when the movie is released. I just want it to be a quality film with a solid performance by George. He usually is very smart in the roles he chooses to play.
So I hope Jody does right by him in her direction. Keeping my fingers crossed. Can't wait to see it.

Sevens, Inside Man is a great film. If Money Monster is anywhere close to it, I'd consider it a success. Hopefully it lives up to that comparison.

Kat19 thanks for the information and that makes me more eager to see both films. Inside Man came out in March 25 that year which is a similar date as Money Monster.  Hope it could do well at the boxoffice also.
