Andrew Garfield gets sucked into a dangerous real estate business in a new trailer for “99 Homes.”
Directed by Ramin Bahrani (“Man Push Cart”), the drama stars Garfield as Dennis Nash, a construction worker whose life spirals out of control after being evicted by real-estate broker Mike Carver (Michael Shannon). In order to provide for his family, he’s forced to go to work for Carver, where he makes big money evicting innocent families much like his own.
“America doesn’t bail out the losers,” Shannon’s character says in the trailer as shots of families losing their homes are juxtaposed with his own extravagant lifestyle. “America was built by bailing out winners. By rigging a nation of the winners, for the winners, by the winners.”
The Noruz Films production also stars Laura Dern as Garfield’s mother and Noah Lomax as his son. Bahrani co-wrote the script with Amir Naderi and Bahareh Azimi, and co-produced the film with Ashok Amritraj, Kevin Turen and Justin Nappi.
“99 Homes” hits theaters Sept. 25.
