After succession, discover the film with Steve Carell: trailer
After the monumental success of the Roy saga, Jesse Armstrong returns with Mountainhead, a HBO film as biting as Absurd, with a bunch of billionaires in front of the end of the world … but on skis.
It looks like two drops of water to a spin-off of Successionon billionaire friends from Logan Roy … but no.
Jesse Armstrongthe creator of Successionsigns an original film (again for HBO), which is called Mountainhead and whose trailer is discovered (to be seen below).
We see four billionaires rich in full luxurious retirement in a ski resort. In the casting: Steve Carell,, Jason Schwartzman,, Cory Michael Smith And Ramy Youssef. The group proclaims the character of Smith as “the richest man in the world”, but that of Youssef reappears it immediately: “Its platform is racist and rotten“Suggesting a parody of Elon Musk.
First relaxed, tech magnates see their stay switching into a nightmare when they discover the news: the world is sinking into chaos and violence. The crisis is such that the President (yes, President) of the United States seeks to contact them. According to Youssef, it is their fault: the platform of the character of Smith would have “Flamed a volatile situation” causing “Massive fraud” And “Market instability.”
But Schwartzman has another priority: “Are we playing poker as planned, or not?”
The official film synopsis sums up: “A group of billionaire friends meets against the backdrop of an international crisis that continues to worsen.”
Jesse Armstrong sign the scenario and the realization here, a year after the end of Succession – Triple rewarded at EMMYS for better dramatic series.
