Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street is a seminal piece of filmmaking, accentuated in its influence by exceptional acting performances. Now, a documentary is being made about Stratton Oakmont, the real-life brokerage firm that inspired the film, and Jordan Belfort, the man portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio on the big screen.

Per Deadline, the documentary film will chronicle the founding of Stratton Oakmont, its fraudulent pump-and-dump schemes, and the eventual indictment of its founders, Jordan Belfort and Danny Porush. The project is being produced by Campfire Studios, who were also behind Netflix’s The Menendez Brothers and Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders docs. The feature documentary is being made by the same team as Hulu’s WeWork: Or the Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn documentary. Director Jed Rothstein, who also directed the WeWork doc, will spearhead the project.

Netflix is getting further into the tech world with Scott Z. Burns and Scott Galloway’s Thumblite. After a bidding war, the streamer has landed Media Res’ corporate thriller package starring Rosamund Pike with a straight-to-series order.

Created and written by Extrapolations creator Burns, who serves as showrunner, Thumblite is set in Silicon Valley and examines the schemes, rivalries, visions and obsessions of the power brokers and their underlings as they vie for control of the most powerful industry the world has ever known.

Burns, Galloway and Pike executive produce alongside Greg Jacobs as well as Michael Ellenberg and Lindsey Springer for Media Res.

Netflix beat a number of rivals to the package, but interestingly, we hear Apple TV+, home of two Media Res series, The Morning Show and Pachinko, did not engage due to the fact that Thumblite touches on the same world that its parent company primarily operates in,...

Misha Brown almost got eaten by a walrus in Antarctica.

But it’s fine. Totally fine. He survived. (Barely.)

And because he survived, he’s now around to tell us all about the world’s biggest flops.

Let’s back up a second, though. The reason he was in Antarctica in the first place is because, pre-pandemic, he spent a lot of time working as a performer on cruise ships. The schedule was brutal–contracts often last several months, and as Brown puts it, that means staffers both “live and work at work” with extremely tight schedules and multiple daily performances. Despite that, he enjoyed it. He’d always been into musical theater, and spent the 13 years before Covid onstage.

Then, of course,...

Early in The Killer, Michael Fassbender’s titular assassin bemoans the fact that elaborate, “cage-rattling” murder-for-hire jobs are tedious, and wonders “when’s the last time I had a nice, quiet drowning?”

For David Fincher, a director known for big swings, The Killer is his quiet drowning, a focused pulp thriller that feels intimate and small-scale despite its globe-trotting plot. If it lacks the bombast and provocations of Fincher’s masterpieces, it makes up for them with a wry sense of humor and a main character whose inner monologue reveals that this might be the director’s most personal film yet.

Loosely based on a graphic novel by Alexis Nolent, The Killer concerns an assassin who we meet in Paris, sitting in an abandoned WeWork preparing for his next job. For much of the first half hour, we watch him go through his routine – adjusting and readjusting his scope, conducting...

"Stick to the plan. Anticipate. Don't improvise." These are the mantra-like words of the nameless assassin in David Fincher's "The Killer." You could also imagine Fincher himself running those same words through his head as he obsessively makes a film. "The Killer" is clearly like catnip to the director — it's the story of an obsessive guy who meticulously goes about his work. Fincher makes movies. The Killer kills people. I'm not saying Fincher is on the same level as a cold-blooded killer, but he clearly sees a lot of himself (and his approach to his work) in his latest protagonist.

"The Killer" is a film as cold and calculating as its main character. One gets the sense that Fincher and writer Andrew Kevin Walker are going for something darkly funny, too, but the humor, while there, never quite connects. Part of that has to do with Michael Fassbender, who...

Reuniting the filmmaker with his “Seven” screenwriter, Andrew Kevin Walker, adapting a pulpy genre potboiler with icy crisp precision and deploying near total formal command to question the limits of control, David Fincher’s “The Killer” readily and openly welcomes comparisons to much of the director’s prior filmography. But it is genuinely startling that this chilly hit-man drama feels most like a sideways follow-up to “The Social Network” than anything else.

Now, that means a thematic sequel or a bookend – don’t expect Mark, Sean or the Winkelvii to turn up beneath our nameless assassin’s crosshairs. Only just as “The Social Network” traced the birth of the modern information age to a dorm room some twenty years ago, here comes “The Killer” to make sense of how things turned out.

This being a David Fincher joint, the answers aren’t pretty, while the images are nearly always sublime.

Editor’s note: This review was originally published at the 2023 Venice Film Festival. Netflix releases the film in limited theaters on Friday, October 27, with a streaming release to follow on Friday, November 10.

Like the “Jeanne Dielman” of assassin movies, “The Killer” centers on how the self-started glitches in one character’s routine cause their carefully ordered world to fall slowly off its axis. David Fincher’s sleek if small genre exercise plants us into the orbital sockets of an unnamed killer-for-hire, played by Michael Fassbender, whose self-deceptions catch up to him amid a contract job gone just about an inch wrong in Paris.

There are few surprises in this straight-line thriller, well-executed within a millimeter of its life as ever by the “Gone Girl” and “Social Network” director. Here, the perfectionist, you-might-say-control-freak director punches up a nimbly sketched screenplay by “Seven” scribe Andrew Kevin Walker that evokes no sympathy for its protagonist,...

At least no one will get to the end of director David Fincher’s latest, The Killer, and feel in any way misled by the title. Or the film’s droll, on-the-nose tagline for that matter: “Execution is everything,” arguably the most Fincherian tagline ever, as a colleague pointed out.

Adapted by longtime Fincher collaborator Andrew Kevin Walker from a graphic novel written by Alexis Nolent (aka Matz) and illustrated by Luc Jacamon, this wry, efficient and very process-oriented crime thriller revolves around an unnamed assassin played by Michael Fassbender. Descended from a long line of cinematic guns for hire, he’s less ruthless than affectless, almost literally the shadow of a man. (As lit by Dp Erik Messerschmidt, his face constantly disappears into the dark under the brim of his cheap bucket hat.)

However, this killer is compelled to vary his usual routine when a hit in Paris goes wrong.

This article contains spoilers for Jack Ryan season 4.

Superheroic CIA analyst Jack Ryan is one of author Tom Clancy’s most iconic creations. In addition to spawning a whole “Ryanverse” in print, Jack has been played by some of Hollywood’s most prominent heavy hitters including Harrison Ford, Alec Baldwin, Ben Affleck, and Chris Pine.

With the release of Prime Video’s Jack Ryan season 4, however, one actor can now comfortably claim to being Jack-ier than the rest. This season represents John Krasinski’s (The Office) fourth and final time embodying Jack Ryan’s very big shoes, giving him at least two more Jack Ryan adventures over any other actor. Still, someone else will inevitably take over the Ryan reigns one day as this season marks the end for both Krasinski’s depiction of the character and the series known as Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan overall.

So how does...

When “Summer of Soul” sold for $15 million out of the 2021 pandemic-virtual Sundance Film Festival, we saw the peak of the documentary boom. Questlove’s feature debut was a Sundance record, but it wasn’t alone; other Sundance docs like “Fire of Love” and “Flee” sold for high-seven figures.

Today, Sundance 2023 premiere “It’s Only Life After All,” which included its subjects the Indigo Girls performing at the festival’s Opening Night fundraiser, has yet to find a buyer. Ditto “Going Varsity in Mariachi,” “The Disappearance of Shere Hite,” or Doug Liman’s Brett Kavanaugh doc “Justice.”

Sundance also had documentaries that came with distribution, like Hulu’s “Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields,” Amazon’s “Judy Blume Forever,” and Apple’s “Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie.” However, if you’re looking for documentaries that aren’t based on high-recognition IP, or concepts that can’t be parceled into irresistible, cliff-hanging episodes — well,...

BuzzFeed, the internet news site that popularized the listicle and broke major political and entertainment news, is the subject of an upcoming documentary from Kelsey Darragh, a former staffer and filmmaker.

The film, which is currently in production, is backed by producer and financier Bright West Entertainment, which previously made “Subject” and “Sirens.” The company has partnered with the Emmy Award-winning production team at Campfire Studios, makers of Hulu’s “WeWork” and HBO Max’s “Low Country,” on the project.

The filmmaker say they plan to track BuzzFeed’s “rapid ascent and dominance in the early days of viral video,” but it’s not all clicks and soaring traffic. The film will also look at the “chaotic and often criticized workplace environment” at BuzzFeed. The company went public in 2021 and its stock has had plummeted more than 80 since then.

The film has a personal connection. Darragh, the maker of an upcoming documentary feature “Rehumanize,...

There’s a version of “WeCrashed,” the Apple TV+ limited series that tracks the rise and fall of WeWork, that could have made co-founder and CEO Adam Neumann and his wife, Rebekah Neumann, into outright villains. But rather than cast judgment on the Neumanns, the show presents their actions and allows viewers to decide what to think on their own.

“We felt it was our job as writers to understand these two people as best we could and to really try to almost craft psychological profiles of the two of them,” co-creator Drew Crevello tells Gold Derby in an exclusive video interview. “And then from that, we reverse-engineered the characters through which we could tell this story. And you can’t do that you can’t really take a deep dive into someone’s life without developing empathy.”

SEEJared Leto interview: ‘WeCrashed’

Starring Oscar-winning actors Jared Leto as Adam and Anne Hathaway as Rebekah,...

WeWork founder and former CEO Adam Neumann, who steered his real estate office company through some disastrous decisions, only to walk away from it with 1.7 billion, was a tell-tale ripe for a binge-viewing era.

What was the way into this Icarus story? For co-creators Lee Eisenberg and Drew Crevello, it was through Adam’s wife, Rebekah. To this date, despite the duo being forced out of WeWork, the couple remains happily married.

Listen to our conversation with the duo below:

“The relationship with Adam and Rebekah felt like a fresh way of exploring a business story,” explains Eisenberg.

“We talked about this character, this charismatic, larger than life salesman, in how they’d been part of these bubbles through the ages,” says Crevello, “So charismatic, he could generate billions of investment.”

“Rebekah pulled this story into a love story,” added Crevello on Crew Call today.

Though on the sidelines, she gave WeWork an ethos,...

Exclusive: Hulu’s WeWork director Jed Rothstein is forging landmark Sky documentary Once Upon a Time in Londongrad, exploring 14 mysterious deaths in the UK with alleged connections to Russia over two decades. Scroll down for the trailer.

Oscar-winning production outfit Rise Films is behind the show in association with in association with Universal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group, BuzzFeed Studios and Concordia Studio.

Helmed by investigative reporter Heidi Blake, the doc series is incredibly timely and will examine how Vladimir Putin’s two decades in power have made the UK reliant on Russian money and thereby led to missed opportunities to contain the Kremlin.

The deaths, which include high-profiles such as Alexander Litvinenko, will be explored in connection with the hidden underworld of Russian exiles in London, coming as high-profile Russians living in the UK such as former Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich face sanctions. The issue has...

In the past, when Jared Leto has transformed himself for a role, it was often as part of a larger ensemble, as he did in last year’s “House of Gucci” or 2013’s “Dallas Buyers Club,” which won Leto an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. But for his latest performance as real-life WeWork co-founder and former CEO Adam Neumann on “WeCrashed,” Leto is in almost every scene of the eight-episode Apple TV+ limited series. For the famously committed actor, the series was “the opportunity of a lifetime.”

“I’d never had that kind of challenge. I’d never had that much dialogue. I’d never given that many speeches – speeches upon speeches upon speeches. And I was ready for it. I never felt more ready for it, than I felt on that set,” Leto tells Gold Derby of his acclaimed performance. “I’ve been maybe avoiding this for a long time.

The writing process on season 4 of enormously popular HBO series “Succession” is nearly complete, creator Jesse Armstrong has revealed.

Matthew Macfadyen won supporting actor at the Virgin Media BAFTA TV awards in London on Sunday for “Succession.” Macfadyen was not able to be present to accept the award. Armstrong collected the award on his actor’s behalf and later met the press backstage.

“We’re almost done with the writing for season 4, here in London, with the American writers coming over,” Armstrong said. “They’re a really great group of people to talk about the nuances of character and the world and what we’re doing on the show.”

Armstrong described the area where the writing is done as “pretty boring” – a boardroom akin to a “Spaces meets WeWork.” He said that once he has got everything for the season, he will share it with the cast and get their feedback,...

It starts with a black screen and the opening notes of “Happy Man” by Jungle before providing “WeCrashed” viewers with an unforgettable image: a literal horse’s ass as it slowly walks through a modern office space. “Can you believe we got away with that?” Stefan Draht, the co-director of the main title sequence for the Apple TV+ limited series “WeCrashed,” tells Gold Derby. “It sets it right up. This is going to be a little bananas and this story’s going to get weird.” Watch the exclusive video interview above.

Based on the podcast of the same name about the rise and fall of WeWork and its co-founder and former CEO Adam Neumann (played by Jared Leto), “WeCrashed” is a show that constantly subverts the audiences’ expectations. Rather than treat Neumann and his wife, Rebekah Neumann (Anne Hathaway), as outright punchlines, the series intentionally avoids putting its finger on the proverbial scales.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you haven’t watched “The One With All the Money,” the series finale of “WeCrashed.”

Despite starring in a limited series about the very public demise of a somewhat cult-like multi-billion dollar company, Kyle Marvin is rather uninterested in drama.

“It’s easy to poke fun at people, and it’s hard to empathize with people,” says Marvin, who plays WeWork co-founder Miguel McKelvey in “WeCrashed.” “I think we’re hardwired for the salacious version of these stories. We’re hardwired to call this true crime, and hunt for, ‘When was he an asshole? When did he punch someone in the face?’ We’re always hunting for something nasty.”

This perspective makes sense, given Miguel’s role in the story. Adam Neumann (Jared Leto) is the wild-eyed face of the company, comparing himself to a god and earnestly envisioning himself as the world’s first trillionaire.

Writer, director, and actor O-t Fagbenle is a busy man! Emmy-nominated for his supporting role as Luke Bankole in The Handmaid’s Tale, Fagbenle most recently starred opposite Scarlett Johansson and Florence Pugh in Marvel’s Black Widow. He also stars as Barack Obama in Showtime’s anthology series The First Lady alongside Oscar winner Viola Davis. He also recently wrote, co-directed, exec produced and starred in six-part comedy series Maxxx.

Along with The First Lady, Fagbenle appears in several episodes of the Apple + TV show WeCrashed (which is of course about the WeWork disaster involving Adam and Rebecca Neuman). Created and written by showrunners Lee Eisenberg and Drew Crevello, WeCrashed is about the greed-filled rise and inevitable fall of WeWork, one of the world’s most valuable startups, and the narcissists whose chaotic love made it all possible.

In the show, the actor plays Cameron Lautner, a partner at a...

Bob Chapek, the Disney CEO who is under siege, hopefully does not watch much TV. If he does, he’ll see a succession of fellow CEOs who seem prone to self-destruction — Adam Neumann of WeWork, Travis Kalanick of Uber, Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos, etc. — portrayed on buzzy TV series. Viewing these shows back to back, the stolid Chapek might wonder whether the CEO is extinct as a folk hero.

To be sure, the CEOs depicted in this cycle of streamers’ series are uniformly greedy and delusional, though gifted in the hyperbole of “technospeak.” In WeCrashed, Neumann, played by Jared Leto, re-imagines renting work space as a business that “will elevate the world’s consciousness.” In Super Pumped, Kalanick (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) re-defines Uber as a “higher form of life.”

The cycle is easy to dismiss except that headlines tell us a surprising number of working CEOs seem to be falling on their swords.

Of all this season’s limited series based on high-profile incidents of chicanery, “The Dropout” stands out. More than Showtime’s Uber show, Apple’s WeWork show, or Netflix’s Anna Delvey show, Hulu’s look at the life and career of Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes feels as though it has a certain point-of-view on its subject. And that subject – Holmes, as played by Amanda Seyfried, and the culture that made her – finds brilliant expression in the series’ music choices, overseen by music supervisor Maggie Phillips. Rarely in recent memory has a pop soundtrack been leveraged so effectively, and so eerily, to underscore points the show is making.

Consider, for instance, a scene in which a pre-fame Holmes is waiting outside the Apple Store on the day of the iPhone’s release. Holmes, who idolized Steve Jobs, is in a giddy reverie as Feist’s “1234” plays; the song will, for a certain subset of viewers,...

Starring Academy Award winners Anne Hathaway and Jared Leto, WeCrashed tells the infamous story of the rise and fall of WeWork. WeCrashed received mixed early reviews from critics, with most praise going to Hathaway's performance, although the series' pacing attracted criticism.

The show, which premieres on Apple TV+ on March 18, is part of a long line of streaming projects that fictionalize and, in some cases, over-dramatize real-life scandals. These shows share similar DNA, and while their central stories might differ, their nature and purpose make them surprisingly familiar for audiences.

The latest in a recent boom of shows about scammers, “WeCrashed” chronicles the unicorn startup company WeWork, co-founded by Adam Neumann and his wife Rebekah Paltrow Neumann back in 2010 in New York (along with Miguel McKelvey).

The Apple TV+ limited series focuses on the rapid and erratic growth of WeWork, a company that leases different office spaces and transforms them into work environments better conducive to work and productivity. The vague mission statement of WeWork is “to elevate the world’s consciousness.

Beneath the company is a chaotic couple, whose energy becomes magnified by Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway in their portrayals of the Neumanns. More famous faces bring other players in the business world to life as well, as exemplified in our complete “WeCrashed” cast and character guide.

Maybe you should just watch the documentary. This is unfortunately the sentiment that goes along with many of the current slate of shows about scam artists. WeCrashed, Apple TV’s limited drama about the meteoric rise and disastrous fall of unicorn start-up WeWork, is no different. At the center of WeCrashed is what the series terms a love story (I’m not so convinced but alright). Adam Neumann (Jared Leto) is a broke entrepreneur trying to make it in the big city, who falls for the spiritually oriented Rebekah Paltrow (Anne Hathaway). The series is as invested in this relationship as it is in telling the story of a doomed co-working company run by an egomaniac. This means that anyone who has seen the Hulu documentary, WeWork: or The Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn, may notice a lot missing from this version of the story, from minor details,...

At first glance, “WeCrashed” seems to be the latest limited series in the recent cycle of shows about real-life business disaster cases and variations on financial scamming. And it is that, overlapping with the cocky, growth-obsessed hubris of “Super Pumped” and the Manhattan status-seeking of “Inventing Anna.” But this eight-episode Apple TV+ limited series is also well-timed, at least in theory: With debate raging about the viability of a return to in-person work, “WeCrashed” is most compelling when it examines what, exactly, work means to people — especially people who depend on their supposed calling to nourish their identity (and inflate their sense of self-importance), rather than carrying them from paycheck to paycheck.

If that sounds more than a bit rarified, well, that’s the world in which “WeCrashed” immerses itself — to sometimes fascinating and sometimes myopically repetitive results. Unlike the sprawling (and often unwieldy) “Inventing Anna,” “WeCrashed” zeroes in on its two wannabe-marquee attractions,...

Exclusive: Campfire Studios, the company behind HBO Max docuseries The Way Down and Hulu’s WeWork doc, is expanding its scripted division and has hired former Marc Platt Productions exec Ryan Christians to oversee a new push.

Few would compare the accents between the buffoonish Paolo Gucci in “House of Gucci” and enthusiastic WeWork founder Adam Neumann, except maybe the Oscar-winning actor filling both roles onscreen.

In discussing his portrayal of Israeli billionaire Neumann in the upcoming Apple TV+ limited series “WeCrashed” at a TCA panel, Jared Leto revealed how his noteworthy (and awards-contending) turn in “House of Gucci” rolled right into his performance as Neumann, drawing similarities between the two unique accents.

“I literally went from Italy to New York, just coming from ‘House of Gucci’ where I was playing Italian, and little did I know they actually have a lot of similarities, the two accents,” Leto said. “With Adam’s accent I wasn’t really doing an Israeli accent, I was doing Adam’s accent.

Exclusive: Wondery, the podcast company behind series such as Dr. Death and The Shrink Next Door, has found its next strange audio tale.

The Amazon-owned company is launching Operator, which tells the story of the people behind American TelNet, the company that singlehandedly brought live phone sex into the mainstream.

The series is hosted by Tina Horn, host of sex, kink and gender podcast Why Are People Into That? and creator of sci-fi sex rebel comic book series Sfsx.

In the early 1990s, American TelNet brought together an army of phone sex operators that focused on fostering a human connection – an empathetic ear to the lonely and repressed – and in the process, grossed over $2B. Despite the staggering revenue and groundbreaking innovations in aural connection, the podcast series uncovers the truth behind how the operators themselves were left to struggle alone with the shame and stigma of providing these live sexual services,...

Exclusive: With a revamped WeWork poised to hit Wall Street with a multi-billion dollar IPO in just over a week, the former CEO of the once highly hyped startups workspace company has already made a killing of at HBO Max.

Booted from his top gig in September 2019 with a $1.7 billion parachute just before the company pulled its first planned IPO, WeWork co-founder Adam Neumann has received a poignant re-evaluation of sorts from the WarnerMedia-owned streamer’s Generation Hustle.

Jared Leto says he got teargassed after being inadvertently caught up in an anti-Covid pass protest in Rome, Italy.

The Oscar-winner is understood to be in the Italian capital with his band, 30 Seconds To Mars. He took to his Instagram Stories in a now-expired post to share pictures and video of police confronting protestors, writing that he “got teargassed then called it a night.”

Per local reports, the protests are over Italy’s introduction of a new green pass system that mandates vaccines for some employees. The demonstrations have seen more than 10,000 people take to the streets and turned violent over the weekend, with police arresting 12 people. They were led by Italy’s far-right Forza Nuova party.

Leto will next be seen in Ridley Scott’s House Of Gucci, Marvel pic Morbius, and as Adam Neumann in the WeWork series WeCrashed.
