LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Fledgling premium cable network Epix said Tuesday it has picked up a Silicon Valley satire from Larry Charles, the "Seinfeld" veteran who went on to direct the "Borat" and "Bruno" movies.
The project centers on a fictional Silicon Valley CEO whose ego is a study in power and greed. It will be written by Dan Lyons, the creator of the "Fake Steve Jobs" blog.
"We are attempting to do nothing less than a modern 'Citizen Kane,'" said Charles, who will oversee development and direct the pilot. "A scabrous satire of Silicon Valley and its most famous citizen."
