Riz Ahmed is leading the cast of director Armando Iannucci’s next film, “Growth.” An “early 2025” shoot is being eyed for the film in London. Here’s the synopsis I’ve gathered:
The founder of a Snapchat-like social media platform races to deal with the company's exponential growth and devastating leak of users' private content.
Viola Davis and Bradley Cooper have also been rumored, for many months, to be part of the cast. Given that Iannucci likes his ensembles, I wouldn’t be surprised if these rumors turn out to be true. Can one of the trades please jump on this one? It’s been brewing now for many months.
Iannucci is the creator behind HBO’s “Veep.” He’s also dabbled in political film satire with acclaimed works such as 2009’s “In the Loop” and 2017’s “The Death of Stalin.” All of these works are well worth checking out, Iannucci is one of the best political satirists out there.
