The collapse of the FTX exchange impacts not only the crypto universe but also that of cinematography. After Apple said it wanted to buy the rights to Michael Lewis’ book retracing the story of Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX, today it’s Amazon’s turn to get started. The technological conglomerate realizes the public’s enthusiasm for this story. He then called on famous directors of the “Avengers” to bring the mini-series to life on FTX.
The bankruptcy of FTX arouses the curiosity of the streaming giants
Aware of the craze around the fall of the FTX, Amazon is seizing the case. She is not the first as several giants of the streaming industry are competing for the rights to the company’s collapse. The story still remains mysterious despite the strong media coverage of the case. But that does not prevent the film industry from making adaptations on this scandal.
Apple is also in talks to obtain the rights to the book written by Michael Lewis which traces the story of Sam Bankman-Fried. We owe him various writings on major figures in finance with Moneyball, The Big Short and The Blind Side. Unlike Amazon, Apple, meanwhile, wants to release a movie on FTX based on Lewis’s book.
Amazon: a series on the fall of FTX planned for 2023?
For its adaptation, Amazon intends to release a eight-episode miniseries. For this, she signed a production agreement with the Russo brothers’ AGBO studio. The series could promise to be epic thanks to the expertise of Anthony and Joe Russo, directors of the Marvel universe. According to Variety, the series could be based on insider testimony collected by the journalists who investigated the scandal.
The Russo brothers explain that the collapse of FTX is one of the most spectacular frauds ever committed. It touches many sectors like celebrity, politics, technology, academia, crime, drugs, sex and the future of modern finance. The series is scheduled to be released on Amazon Prime in the spring of 2023 and Internet users have not failed to suggest actors to embody the FTX team.
