Warner Bros. Pictures has provided us with the first trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s upcoming corporate comedy The Informant!, starring Matt Damon as Mark Whitacre, a rising star at an agri-industry giant who became the highest-ranking corporate whistleblower in U.S. history. In an attempt to expose a price-fixing conspiracy at his company to the FBI, Whitacre wore a wire and a hidden tape recorder, imagining himself as some kind of secret agent.
The Informant! is scheduled to open on October 9 after debuting at the Toronto Film Festival.
