Patrick Wilson can't keep his Pants on in the Trailer for 'Zipper'


Nothing will derail a political career faster than a sex scandal, which begs the question why someone with a sexual obsession would ever run for office? That's the question Patrick Wilson's character needs to answer in Zipper, a new film in which he plays a man who can't keep his pants on.

Directed by Mora Stephens and co-starring Lena Headey, Dianna Aron, Richard Dreyfuss, John Cho, and Ray Winstone, the film centers on a federal prosecutor with a bright political future who sees it all thrown into jeopardy after a one-night fling. Here's the full synopsis:

Sam Ellis is a man on the rise -- a hotshot federal prosecutor on the cusp of a bright political future. But what was meant to be a one-time experience with a high-end escort instead turns into a growing addiction. His moral compass unraveling, his new demon threatens to destroy his life, family and career. 

This one debuted at Sundance but I don't recall ever hearing anything about it until now. Certainly wasn't on my radar then, although it looks like it could be decent. Zipper hits VOD and theaters on August 28th.
