Jesse Armstrong, creator of 'Succession', continues his critique of the wealthy with 'Mountainhead', an HBO film featuring Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, Ramy Youssef, and Corey Michael Smith. The film follows four tech moguls retreating to a snowy mountain, disrupted by civil unrest, possibly linked to their corporations. The film aims to satirize the tech industry's impact on society. Its quick production and strategic release just ahead of the Emmys highlights the urgency and relevance of its themes as it explores wealth and accountability.
"Gathering together for a snowy mountain getaway, said getaway gets disrupted by civil rest on the news - civil rest that at least one of their companies might be directly responsible for."
"Mountainhead was announced less than two months ago (the beginning of March) and filmed quickly thanks to its small scope and cast - notably, none of the actors have previously appeared in a Jesse Armstrong project."
