Fittingly, Richard Gere's new Wall Street thriller Arbitrage had a screening this week hosted by The Wall Street Journal, Brioni, and high-end jeweler Piaget.
But the Peggy Siegal Company fete was hardly a frivolous bacchanal. Gere and his fellow stars Susan Sarandon and Brit Marling wondered out-loud why more investment bankers weren't in jail, and writer/director Nicholas Jarecki noted his goal was to turn a "paper crime into a blood crime".
Reporting from the red carpet, I quickly discovered this smart movie is clearly a result of a smart cast - and you can make the same discovery via the video below!
Plus do you catch that clear angling for an Oscar nom for Gere...? Nice to see his co-stars supporting him so strongly!
