There’s a new trailer for The Wizard of Lies, the upcoming HBO drama movie starring Robert De Niro as the reviled Madoff:

THE WIZARD OF LIESPlot synopsis:
“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.
Debuting in May, HBO Films’ THE WIZARD OF LIES examines Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme – his deception, lies and cover-up, all as the financier’s wife and sons are catapulted into a harsh and unrelenting spotlight.
Robert De Niro comes to HBO for the first time in the role of family patriarch Bernie Madoff. Also on HBO for the first time, Michelle Pfeiffer stars as Ruth Madoff, Bernie’s longtime spouse and unwitting partner during the events that would lead to financial ruin for countless people and institutions, as well as his and his family’s destruction.”

Bernie Madoff was no wizard but he sure could vie for the the title of the ballsiest con artist of all time…

The film is directed by Barry Levinson.

Release date: May 20, 2017 (on HBO).
