Hustlers is inspired by the article “The Hustlers at Scores” penned by Jessica Pressler for New York Magazine. The story is a true-life Robin Hood tale that centers on a crew of former strip club employees who turn tables on their Wall Street Clients.
The film stars Jennifer Lopez (Second Act), Constance Wu (Crazy Rich Asians), Keke Palmer (Berlin Station), Lili Reinhart (Riverdale), Lizzo, and Cardi B, while also featuring Oscar winner Mercedes Ruehl (The Fisher King), Julia Stiles (Bourne franchise), Trace Lysette (Transparent), Mette Towley (Cats) and Madeline Brewer (The Handmaid’s Tale).
Lopez is set to play the ringleader of the group of ambitious women who take their plans of getting their full cut too far. Written and directed by Lorene Scafaria (Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, The Meddler, Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist), the film takes place in the late aughts of New York City in the wake of the financial crisis and explores the toll it took on the livelihood of the dancers who relied on their Wall Street clients.
