Hot blonde actress Jennifer Lawrence is attached to play hot blonde medical zillionaire Elizabeth Holmes in the Theranos project being shepherded by Oscar-winning “The Big Short” writer-director Adam McKay.
The untitled movie deals with Holmes’ medical tech company, which was valued at $9 billion before it came under federal investigation for developing a revolutionary blood-testing mechanism that might not actually work.
McKay, the former SNL head writer who wrote and directed the Will Ferrell vehicles “Anchorman,” “Talladega Nights,” “Stepbrothers” and “The Other Guys” before he co-wrote “Ant-Man” with Paul Rudd, is white-hot right now.
“X-Men Apocalypse” star Lawrence recently starred as another entrepreneur in “Joy.”
