Jesse Armstrong’s new HBO film is about “a group of billionaire friends” who “get together against the backdrop of a rolling international crisis,” which doesn’t feel timely or overly familiar at all! Luckily, we’re about to have a bunch of juicy new Armstrong dialogue to distract us from… all of that, so at least something to look forward to in the next few months. The Succession creator may be a recession indicator, but he’s a pretty damn exciting one.
Armstrong’s much-hyped new film—officially titled Mountainhead (a play on The Fountainhead?)—premieres May 31 at 8 p.m. ET. Park City, Utah may have lost Sundance, but the city will always get to boast that it was the setting for Armstrong’s feature-length debut. Production wraps in its snowy hills this week.
