Who Will Play Steve Cohen In Martin Scorsese's Upcoming Wall Street Tragicomedy?
One look at the chart below from the NYT, and a pattern emerges.
However, we are not sure which is the correct pattern:
- Either SAC, or whatever it will be called soon, has some truly impressive hiring hurdles and an even more impressive background check company , or
- Slowly but surely the investigation around Steve Cohen - just as we first suggested in November 2010 when nobody dared to mention in print that the invincible "information arbitrageur" was merely a two-bit insider trading hack who used "expert networks" and got lucky for so long he had an "economic war chest of scale" and an army of lawyers- is closing.
If 2, our question is who will play Stevie in the inevitable upcoming (Oscar-nominated) Martin Scorsese tragicomedy about the excesses of the 3 and 50 hedge fund bubble.

Its only a tragicomedy if NO bankers die at the end.
Talk about teflon. This SAC of $hit is good at covering his ass
That dude on the late night infomercial selling shark vacuum cleaners, Ninja blenders, steam cleaners, etc.
Spittin' image of Stevie boy...
poor guy, all his business associates turn out to be criminals. talk about bad luck.
Just cast Mike Myers as Doctor Evil wearing a Wall Street suit and glasses with a Mini Me Steve Cohen !
I believe he and Leo have a contract
How about George Clooney he's out pitching FedRa's he's a Dr. Evil in his own way.
Danny DeVito.
A jewish actor would fill in his shoes admirably....he would'nt even need to read the script because everything is already programmed into his brain.
i think something is programmed into YOUR brain.
I was going to recommend Jonah Feldstein aka Jonah Hill.
Jim Cramer
Some goy, probably.
lol
Morgan Freeman, Tom Hanks, Al Pacino, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, Danny DeVito or Butters from South Park
a bald charlie sheen jumps to mind
Billy Zane?
Dennis Hopper?
P.S,Hoffman
Richard Dreyfuss.
Seth Rogan.
He has the double chin and the lack of talent to pull it off.
Sorry ~ Both of those 2 already have 'pre-committments' for season 1 of "Oy Vey My Balls!"
LMFAO! Thanks!
Now where's my scotch??
Tom Sizemore or Elizabeth Hurley. You make the call.
Bette Midler!
Fuck...that is her comeback role...how could I have fucked up on my previous pick.
Shave her head...have her sing a couple of tunes. Box office gold!
Since Hoffman OD'd the obvious choice is gone...
..pick anybody, it doesn't matter...
...crony markets...crony entertainment...
...what difference does it make?
Who cares?
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Too soon!
He really would have been perfect for that role :'(
That is marvelous.
-Brandt
A gay porn star is the natural choice to play this cock smoker.
They're afraid to take down SC himself, bc he has dirt on all the other big boys in the HF industry.
Is Christopher Walken too old? How about Kathy Bates with a clean-shaven dome?
Danny DeVito
or
Drew Carey
Pee Wee Herman
Show of hands at those of us who cheered what's his name's "greed is good" speech?
Yeah, yeah, yeah... All the OldFarts have "morals" (or is it regret) now, but when they were just normal human young asshole males everybody knew "greed was good".
Boy, how times changes (with age).
Starring Hank Paulsen.
Art imitating life.
We already know the Boy can act
And that he's a sociopathic, narcissistic, kleptomanic sick fuck.
Yup good ole hanky panky sure plays the part the character perfectly, in terms of looks and personality and behaviour.
Just read on Drudge that McGruff The Crime Dog has been sentenced to 16 years in Houston for Pot and Weapons charges. Say it ain't so Joe!
I hear Jon Corzine is available.

hoffman, oh he OD'd
gandofini! ooops, gone.
i know. freakin GEORGE COSTANZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
i always thought homer simpson had a good likeness
I'd rather watch Paulson & friends being executed by an angry mob. And from what I've wasted time on so far, Scorcese is a no talent insider suck up.
You know, I think this guy could handle the role:

He just needs to lose 5 or 10 pounds. Anyone know who his agent is?
My vote goes to: Eric Cartman from South Park. Now, he knows how to play pure EVIL!
The Finacial press is giving SAC a real break
On the day that Elan presented the phase 2 results, the prce was 34 $/sh.
The presentation was made after hrs 5 pm on a Friday
During the presentation , more than the entire oustanding shares of Elan were traded -- 500 mil plus
The questions at the CC presenting the results were loaded and negative.
Q:Why did this person die?
A:Alzhiemer patients are old an often feeble -- they die naturally during a 2 yeartrail.
But, No answer was good enough. The stock plumeted after hours
It had to be naked shorting --- and that is the evil secret behind inside information
Most people read this and say "What is so bad about getting early information?"
Wouldnt you buy and sell on information? But not the manipulative hedge funds, They buy and sell not stocks but naked short -- which means they sell what they do not own or do not borrow.
It's temporary but the damage is done and the carnage spreads
And it is highly leveraged.
And the rules are set by prime brokers -- yes the big banks -- GS, JPM with the blessing of the SEC for purposes of liquidity. (And to make them a bundle)
Ps The drug was taken through phase 3 by J&J and Phizer so the phase 2 results were not that bad.
I hear Ron Jeremy is available.
Didn't this trash-maker Scorsese just make a Wall Street tragicomedy? Was it all that successful? Seems like it came and went in no time.
