Louise Linton, the actress and wife of former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, has released the trailer for her new film, ‘Me You Madness,’ in which she plays a serial killer hedge fund manager.

The comedic thriller written, directed, produced, and starring Linton also features Ed Westwick, best known for Gossip Girl, playing a thief and potential murder victim of her character, Catherine Black.

The trailer begins: “My name is Catherine Black. You may think that I’m a materialistic, narcissistic, self-absorbed misanthrope. I don’t deny it. I’m a hedge fund manager. I’m addicted to fashion, the accumulation of money, exercise, and sex. My life is incredible.”

The actress previously caused controversy after she went viral for holding a sheet of freshly printed money at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington DC wearing long, black leather gloves.

Three months later, Linton posted a photo on Instagram of her leaving a government plane with Mnuchin and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell with the hashtags #hermes, #valentino, #roulandmouret, #tomfordsunnies," according to Vanity Fair.

Vanity Fair added that after a commenter said, "glad we could pay for your little getaway," she responded by "implying the woman was a poor slob who earned less in a year than Linton and her husband paid in quarterly taxes." She later released a statement apologizing.

Linton also came under fire in 2016 after writing a memoir based on her time volunteering in Zambia in 1999. It was considered so offensive that it was pulled from sale, The New York Times noted. 

Before joining the Trump administration, Steve Mnuchin worked as a Hollywood producer and served as Executive Producer on Suicide Squad, the New York Post reported.

Prior, he made a fortune as a hedge fund manager. He told The New York Times: "I watched Louise create this film from first draft to final edit. I'm proud of her drive, tenacity, and spirit. The movie is highly entertaining and very good fun." 

Me You Madness will be released on VOD on February 12, 2021.
