Actor Julia Garner will feature in a Netflix show chronicling the FTX collapse.
Title: A Wild Ride Through the Fall of FTX: Netflix and Apple-A24 Dive into Crypto's Biggest Collapse 💸📽️
Here's the scoop on two upcoming projects that bring the mind-boggling downfall of cryptocurrency exchange FTX to the small and big screens! 🎉💥
Jumping on the bandwagon, Julia Garner, famously known for her roles in "Ozark" and "Inventing Anna," has joined Netflix in their bid to recreate Sam Bankman-Fried's and Caroline Ellison's, FTX's founder and CEO, whirlwind journey. Their wild tale, compared to a modern Bonnie and Clyde saga for the Gen Z crowd, will unveil the intricacies of the duo's rise and fall, shedding light on the fraud charges, financial scandals, and intertwining personal dynamics that led to FTX's epic implosion in November 2022.
With a staggering valuation of $32 billion in early 2022, FTX's fall from grace was as swift as it was surprising. Keep your eyes peeled for Anthony Boyle, known for his roles in "Tolkien" and "Tetris," rounding out the cast alongside Garner in the series, tentatively titled "The Altruists."
Let's not forget the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Apple Studios and studio A24 are also stepping into the fray, working on a film adaptation based on Michael Lewis' book "Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon." Expected to be penned by actress and screenwriter Lena Dunham, the film will no doubt deliver a riveting account of Sam Bankman-Fried's meteoric rise and the series of events that culminated in FTX's collapse.
But wait, there's more! As if the FTX saga weren't juicy enough, Amazon Prime Video and the Russo Brothers' AGBO are diving headfirst into the fray with a limited series and documentaries like "Ruin: Money, Ego, and Deception at FTX" (2023) stirring the pot.
Details about the release dates for both Netflix's "The Altruists" and Apple-A24's film are yet to be dished out, so stay tuned for more updates on crypto's biggest financial drama unfolding right before our eyes! 🎥💰😉💳🚀💥🔢
