PUBLISHED 2009, CURRENTLY IN FILM PRODUCTION, STARING MATT DAMON.
- The book is a good read and should be of interest to those who work on film scripts or are interested in the transfer of book to script.
More importantly, Rich was a great choice for a storied life as one of the most controversial oil traders in recent times.
I read this while Marc was still alive so it was even more interesting following his amazing life path. His type usually spend their final days with "all the money in the world" only to be relegated to -a Swiss chalet---living in European splendor yet unable to leave Switzerland [-a similar ending for those who gather wealth but no longer to move freely]. Switzerland has witnessed many like Marc and he was indeed aware of his fate.
For me, it was his life journey - full of coincidences and meetings that shaped the path of a genius - who created the spot market in oil trading.
However, his path was not always as he might have hoped; especially in later life.
Great read, and Matt Damon should be an interesting 'interpreter' of Rich's journey.
Do check on line for more information....This should be a great film, given the details of Rich's life!
