Sam Ellis (Patrick Wilson) is a man on the rise – a federal prosecutor on the cusp of a bright political future. But what was meant to be a one-time experience with a high-end escort instead turns into a growing addiction. With his stability unraveling, his new demon threatens to destroy his life, family and career. Witness Patrick Wilson and Lena Headey try to navigate through the moral mindfield of politics in this trailer for ZIPPER.
Patrick Wilson has played morally ambiguous before, but whether it be WATCHMEN, LITTLE CHILDREN or even STRETCH, he's always able to imbue his characters with a likable quality. It'll be interesting to see Wilson toe the middle ground in the field of politics. While we don't see much of Lena Headey in the trailer, it's hard to imagine her with any sort of clean slate after her brilliant turn as Cersei Lannister in Game of Thrones. You check out our review from Sundance here, or wait yourself and see what's in store come this next month!
ZIPPER will open in theaters on August 28, 2015.
