It's an excellent book for sure, on many levels. I'm not convinced it could be turned into a _modern_ movie with enough interest to a general audience though.

- itsoktocry 4y agoWell, as a big fan of Michael Lewis, I never would have thought Moneyball and The Big Short would make good movies, but here we are. Good scriptwriters are wizards.
- ghaff 4y agoScreenwriting for The Big Short was magic. There were probably still too many complicated threads to keep straight but a really good cut on the source material for film.
- rbanffy 4y agoIt would require a very good screenwriter. Aaron Sorkin level.
- themadturk 4y agoThe key to a good movie is characters and relationships. It's been a few years since I read the book (and it is a great book), but I think there are characters galore and the opportunity to pump up relationships. It could maybe work. Yeah, if anyone could do it, Sorkin could.
