Overview
- The project remains in development with a pitch deck and sizzle reel available to potential investors via the Brownstone Institute.
- Nicole Shanahan is attached as executive producer alongside her partner Jacob Strumwasser.
- Walter Kirn wrote the screenplay and previously shared a teaser while stating the feature had entered the financing phase.
- The story follows a public-health professor inspired by Jay Bhattacharya during a rash outbreak and is pitched as a dark satire in the vein of Dr. Strangelove and Thank You for Smoking.
- The pitch deck cites a prospective budget near $6 million, and Brownstone says many investors and Hollywood figures are reluctant to support the topic.
