Here's a First Look at Andrew Ross Sorkin's HBO movie Too Big to Fail, premiering in May. At first it was hard for me to imagine some of the casting, but some of it is so good that it's down right spooky. Paul Giamatti as Ben Bernanke will make you do a double take, and William Hurt as Hank Paulson is a dead ringer as well. Looks like it's going to be really good (and I'd expect nothing less from HBO). Enjoy:

looking forward to watching this.
lol @ bernakes voice in the movie
naturally ill go see it, but I feel this whole theme has been played out (PBS frontline did two things on it, Channel 4 did something on it, Wall Street 2, countless books etc). Doubt ill come away with anything new.
I really hope I can see the actors as who they are playing....
I'm in the same boat
I agree, it's not going to bring anything new to the table. I'm just hoping it's something on the order of Barbarians at the Gate or, to a lesser degree, Bonfire of the Vanities. Just an enjoyable movie about something that actually happened that isn't a documentary.
Giamatti as Bernanke = AMAZING.
Actually excited to see it, love HBO films and their quasi-documentary style.
Ed Asner as Buffett...wtf?!
I guess he meets the "shitty website" requirement...

Shitty website that masks the talent behind it . . . check.
God, it's true. Berkshire's website is an absolute travesty.
looking forward as i feel its wont have that anti-wall street, anti-bailout sentiment to the same degree as movies we have seen so far
I'll see it, but do you guys think it will be legit, or another diatribe on OMG WALL STREET GREED
Like Danny McBride?
