We don't even know how the story ends! How can you write a movie script on this? I guess they want a trilogy?

I think Game of Thrones has shown that isn't a problem.

#22Looks like Hollywood is finally taking their cue from Hacker News: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10544788 Hopefully they also end up naming it Unicorn Blood .
Wow it's nice to feel validated.
If this ends up becoming real Adam McKay is reading this I'm open to consult :)

#23Seems crass to do this so soon. I don't know what the reasoning is behind this and I hope they change their minds.
Theyre trying to extract the last ounce of value out of the name.

#24Do we know how they will portray this? Is this going to be the story of start up that didn't execute properly or be a story about how women struggle in the tech industry? I really don't expect J.L. to play someone who loses

#25It would be great if they case a Muslim woman to play Holmes.

#29I've always found it odd how the media puts so much emphasis on the founder prior to success or public release of the actual product. I can't help but think if Holmes were a different demographic (i.e. an Asian or Black man), they wouldn't be making a movie about this.

Well, the entire point of this story is how unwarranted hype can cause disaster, which seems like you should like it then? I'm not exactly sure what point you're making with the minority mentions though. Do you mean there would not have been the disaster-inducing hype in the first place if the founder wasn't a well-connected white person?
