A handful of hedge-fund heavyweights with ties to New York City are getting the celebrity-actor treatment in an upcoming drama-comedy film chronicling the 2021 meme stock short squeeze of GameStop.
Sony Pictures’ “Dumb Money,” which will premiere in theaters Sept. 22, casts Bensonhurst-born Vincent D’Onofrio as hedge fund manager and Mets owner Steve Cohen. Nick Offerman, perhaps best known for his role as Ron Swanson in the NBC sitcom “Parks & Recreation,” stars as Citadel founder Ken Griffin. And Seth Rogen plays Gabe Plotkin, founder of the Manhattan-based Melvin Capital Management fund that shut down last year.
