In March, Jesse Armstrong, creator of HBO's Succession, discussed his new film Mountainhead, which explores the challenges faced by tech billionaires during a poker weekend amid a global crisis. The film aims to satirize the hubris and incompetence of wealthy individuals attempting to change the world. Armstrong's work resonates particularly well with current political absurdities, like the recent Signalgate incident involving U.S. national-security leaders, highlighting how reality often feels more surreal than fiction, challenging writers to keep pace with the shifting landscape.
Armstrong's upcoming film, Mountainhead, reflects on the dangers of tech billionaires' hubris, bringing humor to a reality that often feels satirical itself.
The film poignantly captures the follies of wealthy men attempting to reshape the world, paralleling real-life political absurdities and crises.
