Netflix’s Take on the FTX Collapse
The FTX collapse in 2022 marked a pivotal moment in the world of cryptocurrency and finance, making it a prime subject for a cinematic portrayal. As several studios sought to secure film rights almost immediately after the incident, the response underscores the cultural significance of the event.
According to reports from Variety, Julia Garner is in the final stages of negotiations to portray Caroline Ellison, a key figure in the story surrounding FTX.
Julia Garner’s casting as Caroline Ellison emphasizes her range, as she proved her acting prowess while portraying digital con artist Anna Delvey, a role that earned her critical acclaim and an Emmy nomination. If confirmed, her involvement could add a powerful narrative element to the story of the FTX collapse and its intertwined personal relationships.
While Garner’s involvement seems nearly settled, the portrayal of Sam Bankman-Fried remains less certain. Reports have suggested that Evan Peters, known for his stint in Netflix’s critically acclaimed series “DAHMER,” is a contender for this role.
