Anthony McCarten & Compelling Pictures To Make Film Of Warren Buffett & Bill Gates’ Kinship And Unprecedented Charitable Initiatives

EXCLUSIVE: Anthony McCarten and his Muse of Fire Productions struck a deal with newly formed producer/financier Compelling Pictures, to produce the big screen adaptation of his forthcoming non-fiction book Wednesday at Warren’s, Friday at Bill’s. The book is both a rigorous examination of the 30-year friendship between Bill Gates and Warren Buffett which has resulted in the largest philanthropic initiative of all time, and an exploration of the role of super-philanthropy in a world where so much wealth now lies in the hands of so few.

Compelling Pictures is headed by Denis O’Sullivan (Bohemian Rhapsody) and Jeff Kalligheri (Submergence), and they are making a pre-emptive deal for the film rights to the book, soon to be published by Harper Collins. They’ll finance development and co-finance production.
