'THE WIZARD OF LIES'
STARRING ROBERT DE NIRO AND MICHELLE PFEIFFER
HBO has released today a trailer and poster for their May 20th television movie THE WIZARD OF LIES in which Robert De Niro plays
ruthless Bernie Madoff who came up with the infamous Ponzi scheme that broke the world's economy. In 2008, stockbroker, investment advisor and financier Bernie Madoff made headlines around the world when he was arrested for perpetrating perhaps the largest financial fraud in U.S. history. Michelle Pfeiffer plays his wife Ruth, looking older than ever in the role, while Alessandro Nivola plays one of their sons. Hank Azaria is also a part of the TV movie cast. Barry Levinson was behind the helm.

'OVERDRIVE' TRAILER
WITH SCOTT EASTWOOD!
There's also a trailer and poster for August 2017 movie OVERDRIVE which follows two car thieves, brothers, Andrew and Garrett Foster 
(Scott Eastwood and Freddie Thorp) who specialize only in the most expensive cars. They've been hired to steal a gorgeous Bugatti 1937 valued million Euro, so they head to the south of France for the job. But they get caught, and Jacomo Morier (Simon Abkarian), the local crime boss who owns the Bugatti, doesn't take it lightly. In exchange for their lives the two brothers will have to steal a car from Max Klemp (Fabian Wolfrom), Morier's arch-rival, and not any car, Morier wants them to steal Klemp's 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, his most prized car.

"The Wizard of Lies" looks worthy! A nice juicy role for De Niro.
ReplyDeleteBut do we believe that the kids and momma mafia did not know daddy was behaving badly or were they stuffing themselves silly with his money and turning a blind eye on his crimes?
DeleteOverdrive sounds a lot like Gone In 60 Seconds with a little Fast & the Furious thrown in. I'm sure it will be a hit with the males, but I think this kind of story has been played to death. Even sexy Eastwood can't pull me into watching that one.
ReplyDeleteI think it is German production or something
DeleteAnd people complain about Fast and Furious franchise. No matter how crazy at least it became a franchise. This 'Overdrive' is a flash in the pan for certain. A mobster is not going to want to steal another car. He's going to blow someone's head off. Or have someone else blow it for him. At least FF's silliness is fun to watch. That trailer was painfully stupid. The Wizard of Lies however looks great.
ReplyDeletedriving cars fast is stupid on screen and off it :)
