Emilia Jones is Reality Winner in Another Film About ‘Winner’ Trailer

"Reality Winner is just like us." She is? Vertical has revealed an official trailer for a film called Winner, yet another film about the American whistleblower Reality Winner. This premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and will be out on VOD to watch this September. There were two other films about the same person recently: Reality starring Sydney Sweeney, and the feature doc Reality Winner. Now we have Winner to watch. What's next, two more films called R. Winner and Reality W.? Yes we've heard her story, what's next. Reality Winner, a brilliant, sarcastic young misfit from Texas with a relentless need for helping others, finds her morals challenged working as an NSA contractor, ultimately leaking Russia's hacking campaign of the 2016 U.S. Presidential election. Emilia Jones (from CODA) stars as Reality, with Connie Britton, Danny Ramirez, Kathryn Newton, and Zach Galifianakis in the cast. This seems to look like a cheap, cheesy made-for-TV movie that would air as a Saturday Night Special. Oh well, it happens. Here's the official trailer for Susanna Fogel's film Winner, direct ...

"Being in a really beautiful, healthy, fun relationship, it made me soften some of my cynicism." She adds: "This show is based on the only good decision I ever made: falling for a nice Jewish boy. But I realized that being happy is way harder than being miserable — there’s nothing to complain about. So, I created this show based on all the ways that finding the right person can be so hard." Okay. Kristen Bell and Adam Brody star as the two new lovers, with Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons, Stephanie Faracy, Michael Hitcock, Tovah Feldshuh, Paul Ben-Victor, and Emily Arlook.
