Thomas Jefferson goes Hollywood

So it seems like Will Smith along with a consortium of others plus HBO films has bought the rights to the Jefferson bottles story. There are two separate films it looks like will be made. A book called the The Billionaire's Vinegar by Benjamin Wallace was bought by Will Smith and company along with a great New Yorker article, whose rights were bought by HBO for some major big and small screen dramz in the near futures.Click here for info. My question is who plays Hardy Rodenstock? Maybe Charles Nelson Reilly if he were alive? Who plays Bill Koch? Michael Caine? Who gets more pissed off than Michael Caine when he wants to? Should be interesting.

  2. Bill Koch HAS to be played by Ed Begley Jr.

    I nominate Harvey Keitel as the FBI guy.

    The guy who played the villain in the first Die Hard as Rodenstock.

  5. Like I said over on the Dr. Vino site, with our luck the film will end up starring Tara Reid and Johnny Knoxville. Spread the Thunder! http://tv.winelibrary.com
