Apple says it will make a movie about ElizabethHolmes, with Hunger Games star Jen Lawrence playing her. Adam McKay, creator of Succession, will be directing a movie based on a book by John Carreyrou. He wrote the first news stories about the problems of Theranos, even as the company was being praised in Silicon Valley.

After it was discovered that Theranos' blood testing technology didn't meet the standards it claimed to investors, the company's co-owner is on trial for 11 counts of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. At the time of its unraveling, Theranos was valued at $9 billion, and was labeled the youngest self-made billionaire by Fortune. One of the world's most disappointing leaders wasHolmes. She could face 20 years in prison if convicted.
