Which actors would play the designers in Graphic Design: The Movie? Maybe Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Michael Bierut, Massimo Vignelli played by Sean Connery (Connery won't do the Italian accent though), and Julie Christie as Paula Scher.

Here's Vignelli talking about his map in an outtake from Helvetica and some background on the controversy surrounding it.
