the true crime that's worth your time
Wow! @JohnCarreyrou just revealed to our crowd at @DominicanCANews that @batemanjason plans to direct the film version of his bestseller, #BadBlood. #JenniferLawrence is set to star as #Theranos’ Elizabeth Holmes, filming likely next year.
Jason Bateman will apparently replace Adam McKay as the director of the movie version of Bad Blood. Here’s the deal: at an event last night at California’s Dominican University, John Carreyrou — the author of Bad Blood — told the Journal of Alta California managing editor Blaise Zerega that Bateman had been tapped to helm the dramatic adaptation of the rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos.
That’s a bit of a surprise, as media coverage of Bad Blood to date has said that Adam McKay, of The Big Short, was set to direct, but it certainly seems like Carreyrou would know who’s directing his book so…there you go. McKay out, Bateman in! — EB
