The news was announced today by Brian O’Shea, The Exchange CEO. Breaking the Bank follows Charles Banbury (Grammer), the affable, bumbling chairman of London-based bank Tuftons, who spends more time on the golf course than in the office. However, when a rogue trader makes a play for Tuftons, Charles goes belly up, losing his family as well as his grip on the bank. Charles’ only solace is a a homeless, self-taught financial wizard and his estranged, anti-capitalist daughter. The film, written by Roger Devlin and produced by Jake Seal also stars Tamsin Greig, and John Michael Higgins.
