Now, Max has revealed a first look at Mountainhead. Check it out below:
The trailer opens with four friends coming together at a mᴀssive mountain mansion. Though excited to see each other, the group throws disses at each of their businesses. While trying to enjoy their vacation, the crew also discuss issues concerning the outside world as bad news floods their phones. In addition, Max released a series of images for Mountainhead, showing a look at the characters played by Smith, Carell, Youssef, and Schwartzman, as well as the impressive property itself. Check out the images below:
What This Means For Mountainhead
The Movie Is By The Succession Creator
The director’s background should come as no surprise. Armstrong is the creator of Succession, the Emmy-winning, four-season series about the uber-rich Roy family’s media empire and the siblings’ power grabs. Both projects tackle the experiences of the mega-wealthy head-on. Mountainhead clearly explores the compeтιтive spirit between these billionaire friends, and how they quickly fall out of touch with the real world.
The trailer and images reveal some of the main ideas about Mountainhead. In the trailer, Schwartzman’s character asks his friends if they are still ready to play a game of poker and one of the images shows him playing poker. The trailer and images also emphasize the snowy, mountain setting, which will likely play a pivotal role in the film.
Our Take On The Mountainhead Trailer
The Cast Could Make This Movie Shine
Mountainhead brings together talented actors from disparate backgrounds. Youssef and Smith are not afraid to be inflammatory, while Schwartzman is trying to keep everyone and everything together. Carell is strong-willed and opinionated, making his viewpoints clash easily with his friends. This talent has what it takes to rise to the occasion and make Mountainhead a thoroughly entertaining and dramatic film.
