The Times reports the latest on “Casino Jack.”

Being fictionalized, if not exactly fiction, “Casino Jack” — set for release by ATO Pictures in December — has an actual plot, and follows a somewhat different trail than the documentaries. It picks up Mr. Abramoff as he gives himself a pep talk in a mirror, before unspooling a web of what Mr. Hickenlooper, quoted by Movieline.com at a Hollywood screening earlier this year, called “white-collar thuggery.”
