Hollywood is drawn to stories that have drama at their core. That’s why you saw a number of films, TV shows, and documentaries on the spectacular fall of Theranos and the scandal that ensued.
Now, it’s time for a crypto exchange‘s story (and all the drama that ensued) to be told on the silver screen. Yes, you guessed it right. A number of films, TV shows, and documentaries are in production that will tell the story of FTX‘s debacle.
Let’s look at some of high-profile projects who have the highest chances of going mainstream:
1. Adaptation of Michael Lewis’s Upcoming Book
The renowned author of books such as “The Big Short,” “Moneyball,” and “Flash Boys” is writing a book on the SBF and FTX-Alameda Debacle.
According to a letter circulated by his agency, CAA, Lewis spent six months “travelling with and interviewing Sam Bankman-Fried.” He even visited the disgraced FTX CEO after his arrest and interviewed him for “several hours” in January 2023.
According to a report in The Hollywood Reporter, Lewis has been pitching his book’s film and television rights to producers and studio executives.
As per reports, a number of production companies, including Apple, Netflix, and Amazon Studios, as well as producers like David Heyman, have expressed interest in the project.
2. Amazon Prime’s FTX Series
