The first trailer has appeared for Mississippi Grind, in which Ben Mendelsohn's gambling addict ropes in Ryan Reynolds as his lucky charm for a road trip down to New Orleans, home of a legendary high stakes poker game.
Mendelsohn is a born loser, up to his neck in debt and struggling to catch a break. Reynolds on the other hand is an easy-breezy poker player, who's secret is that he "doesn't care about winning". A dream team on paper? Not so much, but they certainly make for a watchable double-act on screen. Check out the new trailer, below…
Reynolds looks to be on great form here, in a departure from his usual wiseass routine, while we would happily watch Mendelsohn reading out the phone book, such is his magnetism. Directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck and co-starring Sienna Miller, Analeigh Tipton and Robin Weigert, Mississippi Grind will open in the US on September 25, 2015 with a UK date to be confirmed.
