The first trailer has just dropped for a new financial thriller (yes, that is a genre) starring Jesse Eisenberg, Alexander Skarsgård and Salma Hayek.
Intent on giving themselves the edge in an increasingly fast paced environment, cousins Vincent (Eisenberg) and Anton (Skarsgård) decide to build a fibre-optic cable straight line between Kansas and New Jersey, potentially netting them hundreds of millions of dollars in high frequency trades, just by being one millisecond faster than the competition.
Of course, in such a competitive environment nothing is ever as easy as it sounds, and the duo come up against manipulative trader and their ex-boss Eva Torres (Hayek) as she tries to beat them to the punch.
The Hummingbird Project was written and directed by Kim Nguyen and will reportedly be released this September.
