New York (HedgeCo.Net) – Showtime has picked up a drama pilot written by CNBC co-anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin and “Ocean’s Thirteen” writers Brian Koppelman and David Levien.
“Billions is a fictional drama that focuses on the collision and, at times, collusion between an aggressive U.S. attorney in New York and some of the richest hedge fund billionaires in the country.” The Hollywood Reporter says.
Koppelman took to Twitter to express his excitement and was soon joined by Sorkin:
“Billions marks the latest Wall Street-themed project in the works following the success of Leonardo DiCaprio-starrer The Wolf of Wall Street. CBS is prepping an untitled Wall Street drama written by Justified’s Taylor Elmore, while Fox Television Studios is adapting Kevin Roose’s best-seller Young Money as a potential drama series, though no network is attached.”HollyWood reporter says.
