Yahoo Movies Star Wars' Oscar Isaac's new movie The Card Counter gets first trailer
Star Wars' Oscar Isaac brings a man who's haunted by the ghosts of his past to life in the first trailer for upcoming thriller The Card Counter.
Directed by Taxi Driver's Paul Schrader and executive produced by Martin Scorsese, the movie follows William Tell, an ex-military interrogator turned professional high-stakes gambler, who takes it upon himself to reform a young man seeking revenge on a mutual enemy.

"There is a weight a man can ecru, the weight created by his past actions," Isaac's Tell can be heard saying in voiceover as the teaser opens. "It is a weight that can never be removed."
Turns out, the pair have a complicated shared history, and keeping his former jail mate from doing something he'll regret – or worse, could put him back behind bars – proves more difficult than Tell anticipated.
"Nothing can justify what we did," the character says through teary eyes later on in the clip.
Ready Player One's Tye Sheridan plays Cirk, Tell's ally, while Aquaman's Willem Dafoe steps in as the twosome's old adversary Major John Gordo.

After that, Isaac will be seen in Denis Villeneuve's star-studded sci-fi Dune opposite Marvel's Josh Brolin and Dave Bautista, Mission: Impossible's Rebecca Ferguson, Spider-Man's Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet.
