This Fall the duo will start production for the upcoming film, "The Hummingbird Project" in which they will portray ambitious high-frequency traders, according to an article by Variety's Dave McNary.

They've been vilified on Wall Street, and have been accused of using their speed to front run large orders from huge institutions like pension funds.
