Adaptation of Michael Lewis’ Book ‘Going Infinite’
Variety reports that Lena Dunham is collaborating with Apple and production studio A24 to bring the true story of Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX to the big screen. The project, based on Michael Lewis’ book "Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon," has been in the works for some time.
The Story Behind FTX’s Collapse
For those who may not be familiar with the story, FTX was once one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. However, its meteoric rise was followed by an equally stunning collapse in 2022. The company’s implosion sent shockwaves through the tech world and left investors reeling.
Bankman-Fried’s Troubled Past
The saga of Sam Bankman-Fried is a complex one. Once hailed as a visionary leader, he has since been embroiled in a web of scandal and deceit. His company’s collapse was not only a financial disaster but also a moral one.
The Hollywood Treatment
It comes as no surprise that Bankman-Fried’s story would eventually make its way to the big screen. Variety reports that Amazon and another unnamed streamer are working on a limited series about FTX, further solidifying the company’s reputation as a cautionary tale in the tech world.
The Scripting Process
Lena Dunham is set to write the script for Apple and A24’s adaptation of "Going Infinite." With her extensive experience in writing scripts for films like "Lady Bird" and "Tiny Beautiful Things," she brings a unique perspective to the project.
Other Adaptations on the Horizon
Bankman-Fried’s story is not the only one being told in the realm of true crime. Variety reports that Amazon and another unnamed streamer are working on a limited series about Bankman-Fried and FTX. The company’s collapse has captivated audiences worldwide, making it a natural fit for the small screen.
