Take a look at this cast for upcoming HBO moving based on Wall Street
http://www.thewrap.com/television/column-post/cynthia-nixon-paul-giamatti-returning-hbo-wall-st-21614

HBO has unveiled the full cast of its original movie "Too Big to Fail," Curtis Hanson's adaptation of New York Times columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin's best-selling Wall Street expose, and it's quite an impressive ensemble.

Oscar winner William Hurt was the first cast member announced, and he'll be joined in the telepic by Oscar nominees Paul Giamatti and James Woods, plus Topher Grace, Tony Shalhoub, Cynthia Nixon, Billy Crudup, Ed Asner, Dan Hedaya, Kathy Baker, Joey Slotnick, Michael O'Keefe and Ayad Akhtar.

Here's the complete cast list:

• William Hurt -- U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson
• Paul Giamatti- - Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke
• James Woods -- Lehman Brothers CEO Dick Fuld
• Topher Grace -- Jim Wilkinson
• Tony Shalhoub -- John Mack
• Cynthia Nixon -- Michele Davis
• Billy Crudup -- Timothy Geithner
• Ed Asner -- Warren Buffett
• Kathy Baker -- Wendy Paulson
• Dan Hedaya -- Barney Frank

• Joey Slotnick -- Dan Jester
• Michael O’Keefe -- Chris Flowers
• Ayad Akhtar -- Neel Kashkari

Sorkin's book chronicles the 2008 financial crisis and the powerful decision makers who held the fate of the world's economy in their hands. The film will go behind closed doors to examine the co-dependency between Washington and Wall St.

______________________________

Personally I think Dan Hedaya did the best Nixon out there and it'll be interesting to see him do Barney Frank.

7. The cast reads like Airport-Wallstreet 2009
not to denigrate it, of course.
