Molly’s Game

Written by Aaron Sorkin

This was Aaron Sorkin’s directorial debut. He often confided in his friend, director David Fincher, for shooting tips. The had previously collaborated on The Social Network. Actor and Director Kevin Costner was also on set and proved to be helpful and supportive throughout the shoot.

Despite Sorkin’s attachment, “The scripts I write aren’t no-brainers to green light. I don’t write a straight down the middle movie; there’s a slight knuckleball aspect, like the three-act structure in Steve Jobs or the voiceover dialogue in Molly’s Game. It isn’t an easy movie to label exactly: It’s not Wolf of Wall Street and it’s not Rounders. So while some studio heads get excited after they read a great script, they get nervous when their marketing departments say, ‘We don’t know how to sell this,’” Sorkin told Deadline.
