Watch: George Clooney Channels Jim Cramer In 'Money Monster'

The latest movie about Wall Street is right around the corner.

"Money Monster" stars George Clooney as the host of a fictional stock market TV show, which looks very similar to Jim Cramer's "Mad Money."

The synopsis is as follows:

"In the taut and tense thriller Money Monster, Lee Gates (George Clooney) is a bombastic TV personality whose popular financial network show has made him the money wiz of Wall Street. But after he hawks a high tech stock that mysteriously crashes, an irate investor (Jack O’Connell) takes Gates, his crew, and his ace producer Patty Fenn (Julia Roberts) hostage live on air. Unfolding in real time, Gates and Fenn must find a way to keep themselves alive while simultaneously uncovering the truth behind a tangle of big money lies."

The $30 million-film is scheduled to be released on May 13, 2016. Check out the trailer below, which was just released Tuesday night.

"The Big Short" -- which followed the story behind the 2008 financial crisis and credit bubble -- came out in December. The $28-million film has grossed over $52 million since it was released.
