The two studios are in the early stages of developing the film based on the New York Times bestseller “Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon” by Michael Lewis. The book covers the rise of Bankman-Fried, followed by the eventual discovery of missing funds at the cryptocurrency exchange and subsequent fraud charges.
Lena Dunham has been attached to the film, reports Variety, having previously starred and produced the HBO series “Girls,” as well as “Camping” and “Generation.” Her work on “Girls” led to eight Emmy Award nominations, as well as one Golden Globe.
