Filmmaker Adam McKay’s upcoming film “Bad Blood” starring Jennifer Lawrence has been picked up by Apple Original Films.
McKay will write, direct and produce the film, which stars Lawrence as Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes.
Theranos was once one of Silicon Valley’s most promising startups, with its multi-billion dollar valuation and the promise of a blood test system that claimed to be able to perform complex tests with a single drop of blood.
The company, which was valued at $9 billion, lost trust with the public after a Wall Street Journal investigation pierced its claims about its new blood-testing system.
The film is based on “Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley” by Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist John Carrerou, who broke down the opening story.
“Bad Blood” will be produced by Apple Studios in association with Legendary Pictures.
McKay and Lawrence are currently receiving accolades for their debut film, “Don’t Look Up.”
Also starring Leonardo DiCaprio, the film follows two low-level astronomers who attempt to warn everyone about an impending comet that will destroy Earth.
The film also stars Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Timothée Chalamet, Tyler Perry, Mark Rylance, Jonah Hill, Ariana Grande and others. It will debut on Netflix on December 24.
