Final Trailer for Soderbergh's Panama Papers Satire 'The Laundromat'

The Laundromat Trailer

"Did we happen to mention we are in this for the money?" Netflix has debuted one final trailer for Steven Soderbergh's film The Laundromat, arriving on streaming this week after opening in theaters last month. The film is all about the Panama Papers, told from multiple perspectives with vignettes. The main story is about a widower looking into insurance fraud, who ends up stumbling upon a pair of law partners exploiting the world's financial system. "Zipping through a kaleidoscope of comic detours in China, Mexico, Africa (via Los Angeles) and the Caribbean en route to 2016's Panama Papers publication — where journalists revealed the secret, leaked documents of Mossack Fonseca's high-profile patrons." The big cast includes Meryl Streep starring, along with Gary Oldman, Antonio Banderas, Jeffrey Wright, Melissa Rauch, Jeff Michalski, Jane Morris, Robert Patrick, David Schwimmer, Will Forte, Chris Parnell, Nonso Anozie, Larry Wilmore, Matthias Schoenaerts, Rosalind Chao, Kunjue Li, Ming Lo, with James Cromwell and Sharon Stone. A must see for everyone to learn the truth about how money is laundered.

Here's the final trailer (+ final poster) for Steven Soderbergh's The Laundromat, from Netflix's YouTube:

You can still watch the first official trailer for Soderbergh's The Laundromat here, to see the original reveal.

When her idyllic vacation takes an unthinkable turn, Ellen Martin (Meryl Streep) begins investigating a fake insurance policy, only to find herself down a rabbit hole of questionable dealings that can be linked to a Panama City law firm and its vested interest in helping the world's wealthiest citizens amass even larger fortunes. The charming — and very well-dressed — founding partners Jürgen Mossack (Gary Oldman) and Ramón Fonseca (Antonio Banderas) are experts in the seductive ways shell companies and offshore accounts help the rich and powerful prosper. They are about to show us that Ellen's predicament only hints at the tax evasion, bribery and other illicit absurdities that the super wealthy indulge in to support the world's corrupt financial system. The Laundromat is directed by American (indie) filmmaker Steven Soderbergh, of films including Sex Lies and Videotape, Out of Sight, Traffic, Ocean's 11, 12 & 13, Solaris, The Good German, Che, The Girlfriend Experience, The Informant, Contagion, Haywire, Magic Mike, Side Effects, Behind the Candelabra, Logan Lucky, Unsane, and High Flying Bird previously. The screenplay is written by Scott Z. Burns (The Informant!, Contagion, Side Effects), adapted from Jake Bernstein's book "Secrecy World". This is premiering at the Venice Film Festival this fall. Netflix will then debut Soderbergh's The Laundromat in select theaters starting September 27th, streaming beginning October 18th this fall.
