The still-untitled Netflix film comes from an Oscar-winning screenwriter.<\/b>
\nAs hundreds of millions continue to be gained and lost on GameStop stock, Netflix is at work developing a movie that will pit Redditors against Wall Street. Deadline reports that Mark Boal, the Oscar-winning writer of The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty, is \u201cin negotiations\u201d to write a screenplay about everything happening with GameStop, Reddit, hedge fund investors, and Robinhood. Margot Robbie and her bathtub are busy, but To All the Boys I\u2019ve Loved Before star Noah Centineo is attached \u201cto play a major role,\u201d hopefully as Robinhood\u2019s Peter Parker in Spider-Man 3-looking CEO, or maybe an Elon Musk-type billionaire who tweets too much. Spill the beans, dude. The still-untitled film will \u201cuse the GameStop episode as a specific way to shine a light on the phenomenon of how social media has leveled the playing field and allowed the masses to challenge status quo gatekeepers, for good and bad,\u201d according to Deadline. \u201cThe examples range from the stock spike for GameStop, AMC, and other formerly lagging stocks that are subject to the short-selling maneuvers of billion-dollar hedge funds, to the social media spread of unfounded election rigging charges conveyed by conservative social media sites and Trump tweets that fired up right wing extremists to storm the Capitol while President Joe Biden\u2019s election was being certified.\u201d That seems like A LOT to cover in one quickly-written movie, even with a writer as talented as Boal. But there\u2019s likely to be multiple movies about the GameStop drama (MGM is on it, too,). Aaron Sorkin must be furious he didn\u2019t get to it first, though. (Via Deadline)<\/p>\n
