Max is teasing the upcoming film Mountainhead, starring Steve Carell and Ramy Youssef, and written/directed by Succession creator Jesse Armstrong.
Carell and Youssef, along with Cory Michael Smith and Jason Schwartzman, play four friends and “presidents of tech” who gather at a luxury home in the mountains amid global crises. According an official synopsis, the group is worth a combined $371 billion and have “zero culpability.”
A trailer for the movie shows the group receiving a call from the U.S. president. When they consider what president might say, Youssef’s character suggests, “That your platform has inflamed a volatile situation, circulating unfalsifiable deep fakes, massive fraud, market instability.”
The film arrives May 31 on Max; see the teaser – HERE.
