Patrick Wilson in Zipper: Actor plays politician with a dark side in upcoming drama

Sam Ellis’ (Patrick Wilson) political career is on the rise in this trailer for the upcoming drama Zipper — but, of course, he has a few scandalous secrets that might dirty his squeaky clean image.

With the support of his wife, Jeannie Ellis (Lena Headey), the smooth-talking federal prosecutor has been riding high on the road to success, but his “dark side” is one that he is eager to hide from the public eye. It’s Ellis’ dominant vice — a “zipper problem” — that threatens to not only destroy his future, but his family life as well.

From director Mora Stephens, the film stars Wilson and Headey alongside Dianna Agron, John Cho, Ray Winstone, and Richard Dreyfuss.

Zipper hits theaters and VOD on Aug. 28. You can watch the film’s trailer in the video above.
