Do not get your hopes up. This is completely unconfirmed. But:
ALLEGEDLY, we’re told, “Richard Gere is Jamie Dimon, Ed Harris is Hank Paulson, Ben Kingsley is Vikram Pandit and the role of Lloyd Blankfein goes to…Wallace Shawn.”

I read the headline to mean they were putting Dykstra in his role, which would have been.. interesting
WTF? There’s 1.3B Indians on the planet and you had to cast a guy who’s going to need blackface?
-Vik
The smell of the real thing was just too much for the others.
your comment was one of those dealbreaker comments I find rather irritating
A shame Andre the Giant isnt available to play Cohn
I said…….BLACKJACK!
That’s a good story. Tell it again.
kingsley = ghandi = pandit? win
ed harris…one of the best actors of our generation, hands down, note The Rock
reallllly hoping for someone better for JD, fuckin robert downey jr would own it
(80hrs of energy spray owns my life)
I hope the RG as JD casting isn’t true, it’s a terrible choice.
While we’re wishing, I’d like a pony. To run over LF.
examine your motives.
Agreed. I kinda hope it’s good because right now it’s looking like The Social Network is the choice for best picture… and that’ll just be sad. And I love Aaron Sorkin’s work.
Ben Kingsley’s real name is Krishna Pandit Bhanji, jackass…
Never get involved in a land war in Asia and NEVER get into a game of wits with The Sicilian if DEATH is on the line!
NERD!!!!
Here is the proof:

gere is too small to win
Over/under on how many times Blankfein’s character says “Inconceivable!”?
I can no longer comment from.my work computer. Starts as soon as disqus intruduced. How irritating. And I add value
Wallace Shawn? Is that Blankfein’s people telling you this?
Word over here is that it’s Danny DeVito or Joe Pesci.
Spitzer banged three hookers in one day.
And apparently this is really old news. Nevermind.
I wonder if he is realted to Vik…

It’s like every morning, approaching 200, going south on West St.
so where are you (successfully) commenting from?
No way. Jon Hamm is Jamie Dimon. Someone messed up. Richard Gere is not s£xy enough to be Dimon. He’s playing is John Thain.
Is anyone going to play Geithner? I nominate Jeremy Davies.

Blankfein: I can’t compete with your Greco-Turkish good looks, and you’re no match for my brains
Dimon: You’re that smart?
Blankfein: Let me put it this way. You ever hear of Morgan, Robertson, Simons?
Dimon: ….yes
Blankfein: Morons!
Cohn should be played by David Koechner: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0462712/
and Wallace Shawn is a great choice for Blankfein
Who’s playing Dick Fuld, by the way?
That’s the rumor I heard too. DeVito wearing skinny jeans.
I think they’ll get the 800 lb guy from the AXA commercials…
I’m aware of that, genius. That doesn’t mean he isn’t going to need blackface.
AXA gorilla for Dick Fuld
Stephen Colbert as John Thain?
Same argument used in Ghandi, how’d that turn out?
Hint: Lookup Academy Award winners for best actor.
I was thinking Brian Baumgartner should play cohn….but you win
LB: (Internal Diablogue) I was beginning to realize that the only way to make this evening bearable, would be to ask Vikram a few questions. Asking questions always relaxes me. In fact, I sometimes think that my secret profession is that I’m a private investigator, a detective. I always enjoy finding out about people. Even if they are in absolute agony, I always find it very interesting.
LB: (Aloud entering restaurant) Vikram lovely to see you. How is your CDS portfolio doing?
VP: Do you know, in Sanskrit the root of the verb “to be” is the same as “to grow” or “to make grow”.
LB: WTF? I had an interesting conversation with Tim Geithner today.
VP: Do tell.
LB: So he said, why don’t you tell me anything you’d like to have if you did a workshop on what a CDS is, no matter how outrageous, maybe I can give it to you. So I said, well if you could give me 40 Jewish women who speak neither English nor French, either women who’d been on the MBS desk for a long time and want to leave it but don’t know why, or young women who love emerging markets but had never seen a trading desk where they could really add value. And if these women could play the trumpet or the harp, and if I could work in a forest, I’d come…
VP: Um, yeah, I got this thing … it’s been real.
LB: (Internal Dialogue) I treated myself to a taxi. I rode home through the city streets. There wasn’t a street, there wasn’t a building, that wasn’t connected to some memory in my mind. There, I was doing models and bottles with Hank and Gary. There, I was front running LTCM’s bond portfolio. And when I finally came in, Laura was home from work, and I told her everything about my dinner with Vikram.
Joe Piscopo to play Angelo Mozilo
LvP as LvP, please.
No, Snookie to play Mozillo
No, you need someone with a horse-face to play Thain…I say Sarah Jessia Parker in drag for the part of Thain.
Why don’t we stop fucking around and cast Gary Busey as Jamie Dimon, Pauly Shore as LB, and George Constanza as Ken Lewis
Wesley Snipes is Indian?
racist. examine your motives.
Charlie Gasparino has to be in this. Remember how he abetted the shorters by talking down Lehman’s, Bear and AIG stock ad nauseum? Who’s going to be saying, “My sources are telling me…” every 10 minutes in the film? I say Steve Buscemi as Gaspo. As for his lead-digging interns? I guess that’s still up for grabs.
whats with all the blankfein storys he owns this site or are they just little kids playing groupies?
Snookie as the Money Honey
Kelsey Grammer as LvP
Either him, or if you wanted to turn LvP into a comedic character, Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf.
Word on the street over here is that big Chaz Gasparino, Warren Buffett and Sandy Weill are being cast by the three dudes from the Lemon Party website….
Kill yourself.
And how many are black? examine your motives.
Tom Hanks as Ben Bernanke. Ok he doesn’t look the part but he can mould himself into anyone and win an Oscar for it.
Wesley Snipes is a Moslem socialist who’s not a natural-born citizen of the US?
Back in 2004 or so when it was Hanky and Lloyd in command we had a Global IBD Conference in NYC. Part of the event is a comedy sketch that everyone waits the whole time for…kinda the best thing other than the keynote speaker and free booze. Anyway, Lloyd is well aware of his resemblance because they roasted him with a series of pictures of him with Wallce Shawn’s head on his body.
aziz ansari as vickles. done.
her face looks like a foot. a foot!!!
I see him as more of an Anil Kapoor type.
“Inconcievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
I want them to find that guy that played “Kramer” for the Pilot ep of “Jerry” on Seinfeld, to play Fuld.
Please tell me I didn’t loss you here. You know, stole the raisins!
No, Tori Spelling has the foot face…Sarah is most def the horse…
Who’s playing main street’s a$$?
Uhm–this is an HBO movie that has even begun filming yet. But whatever.
Lloyd Blankfein should be played by Eddie Jemison (codebreaker from Ocean’s 11 series).
Dick Fuld should be played by Peter Greene (villain from The Mask).
John Mack should be played by Dan Hedaya.
