The Wizard of Lies stars Academy Award winner Robert De Niro (The Godfather II) and Academy Award nominee Michelle Pfeiffer (The Fabulous Baker Boys) as Bernie and Ruth Madoff.
The upcoming HBO Films presentation The Wizard of Lies has gotten a release date from the cable network.
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.”
The project is based on the book “The Wizard of Lies: Bernie Madoff and the Death of Trust” by Diana B. Henriques, with “Truth and Consequences” by Laurie Sandell as an additional resource.
