Picture every movie star you’ve ever had a crush on. Chances are, one of them stars in ‘The Big Short,Paramount’s new movie centred around the Global Financial Crisis. Cristian Bale, Brad Pitt, Ryan Gosling and Steve Carell (not exactly a heart-throb but a star none the less) are the big names betting against the US economy.

Based on the book by Michael Lewis, who also wrote the books behind “The Blind Side” and “Moneyball”, the film entails the true story of a select few who were able to make millions outsmarting the economy’s big players.
