Lena Dunham Adapts Michael Lewis Book on Sam Bankman-Fried

Apple and A24 are developing a film adaptation of Michael Lewis's book 'Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon,' with Lena Dunham writing the script. The film will explore the dramatic story of Sam Bankman-Fried, founder of FTX, who became the youngest billionaire before his company's collapse and subsequent fraud convictions. Dunham, known for her work on 'Girls,' aims to provide a psychological and financial portrayal of Bankman-Fried's chaotic rise and fall in the cryptocurrency realm. The adaptation is currently in early development and follows the book's release as a New York Times bestseller in October 2023. The narrative will delve into themes of ambition, ethics, and the impact of Bankman-Fried's actions on the cryptocurrency landscape. This project highlights the need for transparency and accountability in the financial industry following FTX's implosion in 2022.
