In his new film Mountainhead, Jesse Armstrong, creator of Succession, examines the lives of four billionaires who confront a financial crisis during a boys trip. Premiering on May 31 on HBO Max, the film features Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, Ramy Youssef, and Cory Michael Smith as wealthy friends whose weekend of fun is shattered by global chaos unfolding on their screens. The trailer hints at dark comedy as their privileged lives are interrupted by serious world news, showcasing Armstrong's sharp commentary on wealth, privilege, and the absurdity of their reactions to global crises.
Maybe that's why the President is calling. What could he possibly have to say? The film cleverly captures the bewilderment of billionaires facing global crises.
I think that is why I'm so excited about these atrocities. I'm thinking about all the people who are not killing each other. This reflects the absurdity of their privilege.
