Jennifer Lawrence joins Elizabeth Holmes biopic

Jennifer Lawrence is set to star in a new movie helmed by Oscar-winning director Adam McKay.

The Hollywood star will feature in an as-yet unnamed biopic about entrepreneur Elizabeth Holmes, Deadline reports.

The businesswoman, who founded the health tech company Theranos, saw a spectacular fall from grace this year when she saw her estimated wealth fall from US$4.5 billion (around RM18 billion) to zero this year, according to Forbes.

The pair are expected to meet with studios to find a buyer next week.
