This was a sure bet …
Hollywood is already eyeing GameStop’s commercial frenzy last week.
MGM recently won the rights to a proposed book on the WallStreetBets Reddit forum, tentatively titled “The Antisocial Network,” Deadline reported on Sunday.
Ben Mezrich’s planned book will explore how the day’s rogue traders group shook Wall Street by increasing GameStop GME’s stock,
and other companies in defiance of large hedge funds.

Although the saga is still very recent, Deadline reported that Mezrich accepted the offer on the market at the end of last week and MGM quickly picked it up after a bidding war.
Mezrich is the author of “The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding Of Facebook, a Tale Of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal”, which was adapted for the Oscar winner “The Social Network” in 2010.
