Yeah, I believe it's supposed to be directed by Adam McKay (The Big Short, Vice, Anchorman, etc.) and the original author of the book is writing the script as well. Could be quite good if done right. I would assume they are waiting for these court cases to have their day, before filming the movie...

I thought McKay's direction on Vice was pretty derivative off of what he had done on Big Short. I hope he takes the Theranos story in a different direction besides framing voiceover, irreverent cutaways to celebrities/pop culture references, and reduction of overall narratives to a good-vs-stupid power struggle.
Welp, there's some more money to be made for Holmes, I would assume from selling her story?
I doubt it. The story is already known through books like Carreyrou's "Bad Blood". If anyone will get paid for the story it would be someone like Carreyrou.
