Jennifer Lawrence has signed on to play Elizabeth Holmes in a movie about the embattled Silicon Valley biotech firm Theranos, which at one point was worth $9bn.
Theranos was once touted as a “unicorn” – the Silicon Valley moniker for startups with multibillion-dollar valuations.
Deadline Hollywood, which first reported the story, said Lawrence will play the company’s 32-year-old founder.
Theranos still disputes the Journal’s findings, but the company’s public trust and reputation have been significantly damaged.
