‘The Wizard of Lies’ trailer.

This is the Bernie Madoff movie that has Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer in it, and I personally would not have starred in it, even in that weird alternate universe where I’m a big-name Hollywood movie star.  Madoff is hated.  I am absolutely convinced that there are multiple hit men currently on retainer against the possibility that Madoff might somehow get out of prison, some day: I for myself would be just the slightest bit worried that playing the role of Bernie Madoff might sufficiently qualify as guilt-by-association.  A very low-probability scenario, sure – but there was a lot of money on that particular table.

Movie comes out May 20th on HBO.
