MOLLY'S GAME - Growing up in a family of overachievers, losing wasn't an option for childhood skiing prodigy Molly Bloom (Jessica Chastain). A spinal condition at 12 years old should have taken her off the slopes for life, but Molly was back skiing moguls in 18 months. After a freak accident at the US Olympic trials ends her career, she moves to Hollywood and tries something new: poker. Working as a personal assistant by day and a poker hostess by night, it's not long before Molly's talent and entrepreneurial spirit find her running her own game. Transformed into the "Princess of Poker," Molly's game, abounding with Hollywood A-listers and business tycoons, became the most exclusive, and discreet. But when Molly becomes the target of an FBI investigation, her former clients are nowhere to be found. With her lawyer Charlie Jaffey (Idris Elba) as her only ally, will she still support them? In his directorial debut, award-winning film and television screenwriter Aaron Sorkin adapts Molly's own memoir for the big screen with all of the wit and dazzle we've come to expect from his work. Sorkin's bold and precise direction is the perfect match for his larger-than-life real-world heroine. Chastain brings it yet again as Molly Bloom. Poker gave Molly respect in what she believed was an inaccessible world. Molly's Game will give film audiences the Sorkin thrill ride we've all been waiting for. MOLLY'S GAME hits theaters January 5, 2018.

DOWNSIZING - Matt Damon plays an agreeable everyman trying, like so many other Americans, to get by in a tough economy. For him and his wife (Kristen Wiig), life's material desires seem forever out of reach. As those around them realize that miniaturization is not just a solution to resource depletion but also a way to get rich, they begin to contemplate living in a mansion the size of a doll's house. What could go wrong? Shot in Toronto as well as in Norway's spectacular fjords, Downsizing is a visually dazzling work of speculative fiction. Damon and Wiig (who also appear at this year's Festival in mother!) are surrounded by a cast that includes Jason Sudeikis (also at the Festival in Kodachrome), Hong Chau, and a wickedly gleeful Christoph Waltz whose character has the downsized world sussed. It's the little things that count. DOWNSIZING hits theaters December 22, 2017.
