Netflix Finalizing GameStop Stock Movie Package; Mark Boal In Talks To Write, Noah Centineo Attached, Scott Galloway To Consult

Quote:

Deadline hears Netflix is in talks to make an untitled film that Mark Boal is in negotiations to write. He’s the Oscar winning screenwriter of The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty. Noah Centineo will be attached to play a major role — Centineo starred in the Netflix film To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, completed the Jackie Chan-directed The Diary and will play Atom Smasher opposite Dwayne Johnson in the Jaume Collet-Serra-directed Black Adam. Scott Galloway, the activist/journalist and NYU prof and an expert on tech issues who teams on the the popular Pivot podcast, is in talks to consult on the script.

Makeready founder/CEO Brad Weston will produce the film with Definition Entertainment’s Nick Styne, with Mark Sourian aboard as executive producer.

This follows close on the heels of last night’s Deadline scoop that MGM acquired in bidding a book proposal by Ben Mezrich about the GameStop trading. His previous books include The Accidential Billionaires, which became a pillar of The Social Network.

Netflix declined comment on the Mark Boal project, but sources said the intention is to use the GameStop episode as a specific way to shine a light on the phenomenon of how social media has leveled the playing field and allowed the masses to challenge status quo gatekeepers, for good and bad.

Boal and Galloway are repped by WME, Centineo by CAA and Definition Entertainment.

**** sake. Everyone think’s they’re living in The Big Short all of a sudden.

Warm Gun · 02-01-2021, 05:25 PM

The Big Short bored me. Not interested in another of these complicated movies.

mwynn · 02-01-2021, 05:27 PM

Remember Anti Trust when they actually showed someone typing code?

Now they are going to try to explain the stock market.

Sounds like it will be boring.

ArrestedDevelopment · 02-01-2021, 05:33 PM

May be boring but also incredibly important. Would rather see this than another useless CBM.

Would rather watch neither. (Unless it's Batman.)

Dear Netflix, stop using ugly ass Noah Centipede and give us better looking guys.

This is the stuff they are going to churn out to justify their 18 dollar price. I will not have netflix much longer.

You're just a one-trick pony aren't you?

Maybe .5 of a trick.

Actually sounds pretty interesting, and having a writer like Boal can only help. I think people rush to dismiss these "ripped from the headlines"-type movies because they're either tired of hearing about the story or they never understood it in the first place.

Well this escalated quickly lol

I'm interested in the topic and honestly find it a bit confusing so I'd be curious to watch this.

The compulsion to bring up CBM constantly is just weird and tiresome. So many angry people lurk here.

Right. I watched Ant Trust multiple times, it will still boring when they were coding or talking about coding. We did bring your child the work day, the child did not care about my scripting. She said it was boring, and it is.

Really? You find it weird that a genre that takes up a huge chunk of Hollywood blockbusters now tires non-fans? It's not like superheroes are niche or anything.

Just curious, did anyone here own GameStop shares before or during the massive rally? I missed out

No, I wish i even knew how to buy stocks and all that jazz. Too bad our school systems don't teach this type of thing and rather teach pointless crap like finding the square root of a letter from the alphabet

They can't help themselves.
