TwoCitiesCapital Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Yes! I enjoyed this book so much.
Travis Wiedower Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 What a cast! Looking forward to it.
Gardener Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Read the book a couple of years ago and liked it. Should be fun to watch the movie ;-)
doughishere Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Michael Burry. From Aspergers to movie star. What a dude. Yall know he got his start just posting messages...kinda like some of the guys on this forum. This is the type of guy that got picked on in HS, now hes eatin everyone's lunch. I bet he never thought there would be a move about him. "I shorted mortgages because I had to. Every bit of logic I had led me to this trade and I had to do it" "Natural state" as an outsider who "just likes to find my own ideas", saying, "no matter what group I'm in or where I am, I've always felt like I'm outside the group, and I've always been analyzing the group" What a great story.

Christian Bale. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1596363/?ref_=nv_sr_3 So, if you guys had to choose: get as much money as Mike or look as Christian, what would you choose? ... eh, wrong forum. ;D
Valuebo Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 One of my favorite actors playing one of my favorite investors, this better be good! :)
Morgan Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Woah, that came out of nowhere. Looks pretty cool.
mcliu Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Does anyone know what Michael Burry has been up to recently?

I don't know about super recently, but in the past year or two he was trying to raise money ($100M+) to start another hedge fund. No idea if it took off or not.
Palantir Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Am I the only one who thinks this looks kind of dull and hokey?

While I like the cast, I'm less than enthusiastic about their ability to inject drama into something that is usually boring for most people and/or difficult to portray on camera.
Jurgis Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 I wonder how many roll-your-eyes makes-no-sense-this-is-not-how-it-works-in-reality moments the movie will have. I hope they manage to keep it close to reality. "Margin Call" was great BTW ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1615147/ )

Well, of course I cannot say how good this movie is going to be… But the trailer is so funny and the cast is so great I am going to watch the movie the very first day it hits the cinemas! ;) Cheers, Gio
LowIQinvestor Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Can't wait for this movie! Full disclosure: Long Paramount (VIAB- Viacom)

Gardener Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 I'm definitely going to see this movie, absolutely enjoyed the book. Curious to see how they will turn something boring (for most people) into a film that can entertain people!
siddharth18 Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Oh man...a film about my hero Dr. Mike Burry - can't wait!! It must be pretty surreal to be Dr. Burry in the last 15 years....leave medicine, start a hedge fund, bet against the big boys, win big, get famous, get a book written, get a movie made...all because of his tendency to "think independently." Even more surreal is the fact that he is very shy, awkward and wants the furthest thing from publicity. I know films need the guns, hot girls, fast cars to appeal to a wider audience but I hope it actually shows that Dr. Burry and the other shorts went through during late 2005-early 2007 when the outside investors began questioning Burry, threatened to pull money out, made Dr. Burry physically sick. Also, does anyone know if Jeff Greene will be depicted in the film? He'd probably make a great and entertaining character for the film given his tendency to live large...plus he loves publicity.
eclecticvalue Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 In the trailer, does it show Burry with a stripper? Because...... I can't imagine it happening.

PullTheTrigger Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Eisman is with the stripper. Bale plays Burry.
