Temple Grandin ; Behind the Candelabra ; All the Way The Wizard of Lies , an upcoming drama starring Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer.
The Wizard of Lies follows the real-life story of Bernie Madoff (De Niro), the disgraced former stockbroker who pleaded guilty to cheating his clients out of almost $65 billion in 2009 as part of a Ponzi scheme. Pfeiffer plays his wife, Ruth.
The project has been directed by Barry Levinson, the acclaimed filmmaker behind such films as Diner , Good Morning Vietnam and Rain Man . While both De Niro and Levinson are reputable talents in their own right, it's fair to say it's been a while since they truly blew away critics like they once did (Dirty Grandpa didn't earn many plaudits). Their pairing here looks as if that could be about to change.
