The Weinstein Company has released an international poster and eight high resolution photos from Stephen Frears‘ comedy/drama Lay the Favorite, a serio-comic true-life tale about a lower-class force of nature who discovers she's a natural in the gambling trade, is like a loud guest at a party who's amusing for a while, until you just have to escape to the next room, arriving in U.K. theaters June 22.
The film stars Bruce Willis, Rebecca Hall, Joshua Jackson, Frank Grillo, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Vince Vaughn.
Here's the synopsis:
Beth Raymer is a beautiful girl with a big heart who leaves her dancing job at a Florida strip club to become a Las Vegas cocktail waitress. Not exactly an ideal career choice, but her borderline-ditzy personality doesn't give her many options. In walks Dink, a professional sports bettor who sees through her bubbly exterior and offers her a job placing wagers all over town to gain an advantage over the casinos. Her surprisingly impeccable mind for numbers soon cements her status as Dink's good-luck charm, until his gorgeous-but-frigid wife, Tulip, starts to get jealous. Faced with no other choice but to fire Beth, Dink's luck runs out when she heads to New York to work for a smarmy bookie, a turn of events that lands her squarely on the wrong side of the law.
Still no U.S. release date for Lay the Favorite.
