Matt Reeves and Fionn Whitehead team with Quibi for Clickbait

July 5, 2020 by Gary Collinson

Short form streaming service Quibi has given a series order to a new project from executive producer Matt Reeves (The Batman), which is going by the working title of Clickbait.

The series “tells the true story of a group of Macedonian teenagers who made a fortune creating fake news in the run-up to the 2016 election” and will see Dunkirk and Black Mirror: Bandersnatch star Fionn Whitehead playing Niko, one of the ringleaders of the group and described as “a young man desperate to escape his circumstances, who discovers that publishing fake news could be his golden ticket.”

Commercials director Mark Molloy is set to direct the series, which has been scripted by Adam Sorin, who recently worked with Reeves as his writers’ assistant on The Batman. Reeves – who is currently awaiting a restart on his Batman movie after production was shut down back in March – is set to executive produce alongside Ann Ruark (Boy Erased).
