AUGUST

With Josh Hartnett, Adam Scott, Naomie Harris, David Bowie, Rip Torn, Robin Tunney, Andre Royo, Emmanuelle Chriqui

Written by Howard A. Rodman
Directed by Austin Chick

It is the early-2000s. Tom and Josh is the brainchild brother-team behind LandShark, a dot-com company which seems to have survived the March 2001 crash. Tom is the flash, smooth talking CEO while Josh is the introverted products developer. By August the sterling image of the company gets tarnished when their financial situation takes a dire dive. With panic gripping the key members of the company, Tom acts oblivious to the fact as everything starts to crumble around him, not concerned with staff sitting around doing nothing. His recklessness spreads to affect his relationship with his family and an old girlfriend with whom he'd reconnected - not to mention potential business partners.
For someone who is not enamoured with money, the drama of this movie will not have much effect.
People like Jason Calacanis, Ron Insana and Marc Klee play themselves.
