Rosamund Pike to Star in Silicon Valley Thriller Series at Netflix
Netflix has given a straight-to-series order to a corporate thriller set in Silicon Valley with Rosamund Pike in the lead role.
The series, currently titled “Thumblite,” hails from writer Scott Z. Burns with Scott Galloway executive producing along with Michael Ellenberg of Media Res.
The official logline for the series states that the show “examines the schemes, rivalries, visions and obsessions of the power brokers and their underlings as they vie for control of the most powerful industry the world has ever known.”
Burns is the creator, writer, executive producer, and showrunner on “Thumblite.” Pike will executive produce in addition to starring. Along with Ellenberg and Galloway, Greg Jacobs is also an executive producer, with Lindsey Springer of Media Res executive producing as well.
Pike currently stars in the Amazon high fantasy series “The Wheel of Time.” Her other recent credits include the films “Saltburn,” “I Care A Lot,” and the series “State of the Union.” She is known for her roles in films like “Gone Girl,” “A Private War,” and “Die Another Day.”
She is repped by CAA in the U.S., United Agents in the U.K, Magnolia Entertainment, and Prosper PR.
Burns previously produced the Oscar-winning climate change documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” in 2006 and executive produced the followup “An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power” in 2017. His other credits include several films that deal with major world issues, such as “The Report,” “The Informant!,” “Contagion,” “Side Effects,” and “The Laundromat.” He most recently created the climate change anthology series “Extrapolations” for Apple TV+, which was produced by Media Res.
He is repped by UTA and Jackoway Austen Tyerman.
Galloway is a noted entrepreneur, public speaker, podcaster, and professor. He is highly sought after for his thoughts on the world of business, tech, and finance. He is currently a professor of marketing for NYU’s Stern School of Business.
Media Res’ current slate includes the popular Apple TV+ shows “The Morning Show” and “Pachinko.” The company also recently produced “Scenes from a Marriage” at HBO and “I’m a Virgo” at Amazon Prime Video.
Puck first reported that “Thumblite” was going to Netflix.
