In the upcoming HBO movie “Mountainhead,” debuting on Max on May 31, Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, Cory Michael Smith, and Ramy Youssef portray four friends who collectively possess a fortune close to half a trillion dollars, as created by “Succession” mastermind Jesse Armstrong.
At a secluded winter retreat, tech giants gather for a guys’ getaway, but their fun-filled activities like snowmobile adventures and card games are overshadowed by news such as “Sectarian Conflict Intensifies in India” and “Uzbekistan President Relocates to Undisclosed Location.”
Or simply:
Tech titans unite at a winter retreat for a boys’ trip, but their snowmobile rides and poker games are overshadowed by headlines like “Sectarian Violence Escalates in India” and “Uzbekistan President Moves to Secret Location.
Carell portrays the role of Randall, Schwartzman embodies Hugo Van Yalk, also known as “Souper”, while Ramy Youssef takes on Jeff. These characters continually press Cory Michael Smith’s character Venis about his controversial and offensive ideologies (does this sound familiar?).
In the trailer, the billionaires are contacted by the U.S. President. “What on earth could he be trying to tell us?” wonders Smith.
Youssef states: “Your system seems to have ignited a delicate predicament, spreading unverifiable deepfakes, significant fraud cases, and causing market turbulence.
In times when global markets are crashing and foreign conflicts erupt, they ponder over their possible involvement – and the personal risks at hand.
In this critical situation, it’s what has me genuinely thrilled – the fact that he’s focusing on those who aren’t causing harm to one another,” Carell says in the trailer.
In the movie, Armstrong served as both writer and director while collaborating with Frank Rich, Lucy Prebble, Jon Brown, Tony Roche, Will Tracy, Mark Mylod, and Jill Footlick as executive producers.
Principal photography for “Mountainhead” commenced in March, leaving Armstrong with just a few short months to capture and compile footage for the film prior to its scheduled release in May.
During a recent conversation with EbMaster, Youssef hinted at the upcoming movie, describing it as “just as humorous as ‘Succession’.
