Ponzi: The Bernie Madoff Story

IDEA: Bernie Madoff Biopic
TITLES: Ponzi, Get Rich or Die Tryin' or, simply, Asshole
CASTING: I see three ways out of this - Bradley Cooper as Madoff, with great aging makeup; Cooper as the younger Madoff and Stanley Tucci as the thief in winter or, most outrageously...Saul Rubinek for the whole picture.
TRAILER: Studio logo. We HEAR a room of investors fretting over their money. Suddenly, the room goes DEAD. CU on a pair of patent leather Italian shoes walking, panning up to reveal the wearer in a Brooks Brothers suit. This is BERNARD L. MADOFF. He leans over, palms splayed down onto the table. "Hi there. I'm Bernie Madoff. Now who wants to make some goddamned money?" Punch into the O'Jay's For the Love of Money and this disco just got hot.

C'mon H-town...let's light this candle.
