- <p> With Wall Street powerhouse Salomon Brothers enmeshed in
- scandal, the forthcoming screen version of Liar's Poker, Michael
- Lewis' best-selling account of life at the firm, is a hot
- ticket. Cameras are expected to roll next spring. But who will
- play fallen Salomon chairman John Gutfreund? Word is that MARLON
- BRANDO is being considered for the tough, cigar-chomping role,
- and James Spader for the freshman trainee based on Lewis. Warner
- Bros. says it's too early to tell who'll get the casting call.
