Adam McKay's Elizabeth Holmes movie Bad Blood picked up by Apple Studios
The film, starring Jennifer Lawrence as Holmes, as was first announced way back in 2016
It feels like an eternity ago since it was announced that Adam McKay was making a movie about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes. In fact, the news was announced even before the Trump presidency, so it’s understandable that people forgot this film was even in the works. But now, it’s actually happening: Apple Studios is producing Bad Blood.
The biopic, written, directed, and produced by McKay, will “chart the dramatic story of Holmes’ Silicon Valley blood testing startup that catapulted her to being the youngest and richest self-made billionaire before claims of fraud brought everything crashing down.” The film is based on John Carreyrou’s book Bad Blood: Secrets And Lies In A Silicon Valley Startup, that exposed the fraudulence of Holmes’ biotech company. Besides Jennifer Lawrence—who will play Elizabeth Holmes—the rest of the cast hasn’t been announced yet.
