LOS ANGELES: Hollywood has found its new favourite villain: The one-time heroes of Silicon Valley.
From convicted biotech fraudster Elizabeth Holmes to tech giants Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Sam Altman, the marquee is dominated by headline-makers who have wowed the world, and the markets, with promises of innovation.
"These figures used to be more on the aspirational side," Monica Castillo, the film critic for the pop culture website The A.V. Club, told AFP.
"They were larger-than-life figures who bootstrapped their way to multibillion-dollar companies, and they were kind of seen as heroes who were like changing the world," Castillo said.
