Apple Original Films has confirmed it will be the studio backing and distributing Bad Blood, the drama about the shocking rise and fall of Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes
Adam McKay business, as well.
Deadline is out with a new report that Apple has secured “a multi-year, first-look deal for scripted feature films” with McKay’s Hyperobject Industries. According to this report, “the plan is for McKay and team to generate projects that range from scripted comedies to dramas, horror, documentaries, documentary series and podcasts.”
What the Apple Deal Means for McKay and Hyperobject
This doesn’t necessarily mean that McKay will only be making movies for Apple TV+. Again, it’s a first-look deal, so that just means that Apple gets first dibs on whatever movies McKay wants to make through Hyperobject Industries. As noted by Deadline, Apple already has deals like this with Scorsese’s Sikelia Productions, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson’s Appian Way, Idris Elba’s Green Door Pictures, Ridley Scott’s Scott Free, Imagine Entertainment, and Skydance Animation.
