Lawrence is attached to star in the currently untitled film, while Adam McKay is attached to direct, write and produce. The project is not currently set up at a studio.

Lawrence will play Elizabeth Holmes, founder of the blood-testing startup that at one time boasted a $9 billion valuation. Theranos' projected value has since plummeted, following news that the company is under investigation for inaccurate testing that took place at their California labs.

will be interesting if they cover all the lawsuits and scandals

The dust hasn't even really settled yet. It'd be a for more interesting project if more was written in stone.

 

[Hivemind]

Really? They're making a movie about this? Ugh.

 

[DCDM]

Approximate over/under on the time it'll take for Bradley Cooper to be announced as co-star?

 

[Philly85*]

Stupid.

Lawrence actually looks like her

Holmes ranked number 110 on the Forbes 400 in 2014, and topped Forbes magazine's list of "America's Richest Self-Made Women" in 2015 with a net worth of $4.7 billion.[32] On June 1, 2016, Forbes revised its estimate of Holmes's net worth from $4.5 billion to zero, after dropping its estimate of Theranos's worth to approximately $800 million. Because Holmes owns common shares while other Theranos investors own preferred shares, Holmes would be last in line for payment if the company were liquidated.

$4.5 billion to zero, definitely interesting, but is there enough there for a movie

Is it David O Russell again?

 

[Voight]

Read about this on Forbes the other day, seems like Erin Brockovich's evil twin movie.

For a second I was thinking it's a movie about Thanos, not Theranos.

Definitely seems like a Marvel movie. This is where Mystique detects Mutant DNA through fake blood tests?
