Apple Studios and A24 are reportedly planning to adapt Michael Lewis’ book on the rise and fall of the former FTX CEO into a feature film.
Sam “SBF” Bankman-Fried may still be looking at 25 years in prison, but production companies are reportedly developing a film based on the former FTX CEO’s rise and fall from grace.
According to a Nov. 12 Variety report, Apple Studios and A24 are co-developing and co-producing a feature film about Bankman-Fried based on Michael Lewis’ book Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon. Lewis released the book in October 2023, on the day the former CEO’s criminal trial began in New York.
Some critics of Lewis’ book claimed that the Big Short author downplayed the impact of Bankman-Fried’s actions on millions of investors, who were locked out of their accounts and could not access a combined billions of dollars. A portion of the book focused on SBF’s effective altruism and how it may have influenced events leading to his misuse of customer funds.
