Trailer for George Clooney’s ‘The Ides of March’

If you want to put together a really good cast, here’s how you do it: George Clooney, Ryan Gosling, Paul Giamatti, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Evan Rachel Wood and Marisa Tomei. So already the Clooney-directed political thriller The Ides of March is looking hawt and I smell an unpredictable twist.

Here’s the synopsis and trailer:

Stephen is a wunderkind press secretary who has built a career that men twice his age would envy. During a tight presidential primary race, however, Stephen’s meteoric rise falls prey to the backroom politics of more seasoned operatives, and his one night stand with a teenage staffer proves to be more complicated than casual. Farragut North is a classic tale of hubris set against a contemporary landscape – about the lust for power and the costs one will endure to achieve it.
