\u2018The Card Counter\u2019 Trailer Sees Oscar Isaac and Tiffany Haddish Risk It All in High-Stakes Gambling Thriller <\/h1>\n

Oscar Isaac is seeking redemption \u2014 and revenge \u2014 in the first trailer for \u201cThe Card Counter,\u201d a tense thriller written and directed by Paul Schrader.<\/p>\n

The movie, co-starring Tiffany Haddish, Tye Sheridan and Willem Dafoe, centers on an ex-military-interrogator-turned-gambler named William Tell, who is haunted by the decisions of his past. After a vulnerable young man (Sheridan) reaches out to seek retribution on a common enemy (a mustachioed Dafoe), Tell attempts to give guidance in the hopes that it will provide an opportunity at restitution.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter to me if you did something bad in your past,\u201d Haddish\u2019s character says to Isaac\u2019s in the two-minute-long clip. But a brooding William Tell disagrees. \u201cNothing, nothing can justify what we did,\u201d he asserts.<\/p>\n

Isaac\u2019s Tell is vague about his past actions, but he does share that he learned to count cards in his 10 years in prison. That presumably led to some morally dubious decision-making. \u201cThere is a weight a man can accrue,\u201d he narrates in the trailer. \u201cThe weight created by his past actions. That is a weight which can never be removed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Card Counter\u201d is Schrader\u2019s feature follow-up to the Oscar-nominated \u201cFirst Reformed,\u201d a dark drama starring Ethan Hawke as a Protestant minister who struggles with his faith. Martin Scorsese is executive producing \u201cThe Card Counter,\u201d marking his fifth collaboration with Schrader following \u201cTaxi Driver,\u201d \u201cRaging Bull,\u201d \u201cThe Last Temptation of Christ\u201d and \u201cBringing Out the Dead.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Focus Features film will debut in theaters on Sept. 10 after its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Card Counter\u201d will be executive produced by William Olsson, Lee Broda, Kathryn M. Moseley, Tiffany Boyle, Elsa Ramo, Ruben Islas and Stanley Preschutti. Producers on the film include Braxton Pope, Lauren Mann and David Wulf.<\/p>\n
