Academy Award-winning screenwriter Mark Boal is in talks to write an untitled movie about the last two weeks of heavy trading that has inflated GameStop’s stock market value by as much as 1,500%, according to an individual with knowledge of the project.
Noah Centineo, who will next play Atom Smasher in New Line’s “Black Adam,” is attached to star in the project. Activist/journalist Scott Galloway, a professor at NYU and a tech expert on the “Pivot” podcast, is in talks to consult on the script.
The heavy trading is all thanks to WallStreetBets, a subreddit founded in January 2012 as a meeting place for both new and experienced investors to network and also talk about their bets. The subreddit quickly grew into a forum for amateur — and often unvetted — wannabe financial advisors who brag about huge gains to encourage other people to play the stock market.
