&lt;p&gt;Last night, at New York&#39;s Museum of Modern Art, the film adaptation of Andrew Ross Sorkin&#39;s best-selling book &lt;em&gt;Too Big To Fail&lt;/em&gt; premiered before a Hollywood- and Wall Street-star-studded audience. On hand were many of the actors in the film (William Hurt, Billy Crudup, Paul Giamatti, Ed Asner, and others) along with some real-life Wall Streeters who were (or weren&#39;t) inhabited during filming (Warren Buffett, George Soros, and Meredith Whitney, among others).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 4px 10px; float: left;&quot; title=&quot;ed asner and warren buffett&quot; src=&quot;http://becksmithhollywood.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/ed-asner-warren-buffett.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;ed asner and warren buffett&quot; width=&quot;350&quot; height=&quot;237&quot;&gt;If you weren&#39;t lucky enough to score a ticket to last night&#39;s screening and have to wait five days for your fill of behind-the-scenes at the beginning of the great financial crisis -- HBO airs the film this Sunday night -- here&#39;s a well-worth-your-time review from Dealbreaker in which you&#39;ll learn who of the real-life financial crisis players in &quot;Too Big To Fail&quot; the movie will like their on-screen portrayals, and who won&#39;t; here&#39;s a taste: &quot;If the (unintentionally hilariously) bad toupee on Matthew Modine doesn&#39;t do it, the fact that he&#39;s pointedly made to look like the world&amp;rsquo;s biggest *^ick in every scene he appears might do it (Thain is portrayed as &#39;selfish&#39; (Paulson/Hurt&#39;s words), conniving and greedy, and arguably comes off worse than Fuld).&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And from Business Insider, here are some equally fascinating first-person accounts by actors interviewed at the MOMA premiere about the difficulty and/or fun they experienced trying to bring their Wall Street roles to life; for example, here&#39;s the always-great-at-playing-sinister James Woods: &quot;It&#39;s the only&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;part I ever took in my life without reading the script. When I heard they wanted me to play Dick Fuld, I just said yes. And I told Curtis [Hanson, the director], &#39;I wanna play this as a conflicted Shakespearean hero, like Hamlet.&#39;&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Indeed, to fail or not to fail, that is (or, rather, was) the question.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Dealbreaker: DB at the Movies: Too Big To Fail)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Business Insider: The Stars Of HBO&#39;s &quot;Too Big To Fail&quot; On Their Real-Life Wall Street Counterparts)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Related: HBO&#39;s &quot;Too Big To Fail&quot; Is &quot;Too Complicated and Too Simple&quot;)&lt;/p&gt;
