A24, Emma Stone, and Nathan Fielder Are Queening Out

A24 is receiving the band back again together. According The Hollywood Reporter, the studio is re-teaming with The Curse’s Emma Stone and Nathan Fielder on Checkmate. Based on a guide proposal by Ben Mezrich, the feature will convey to the story of the Carlsen-Niemann chess scandal. You know, the one with the (seemingly disproven) anal beads? Mezrich wrote the publications-turned-flicks The Social Network and Dumb Money, so you can see why A24 was stoked to get relocating on this matter. THR states discounts are still being inked, but Fielder will with any luck , immediate with Stone manufacturing together with her partner Dave McCary.

Who can ignore in 2022 when a dishonest scandal in chess briefly created us all go “Wait, what? The place?” Chess “bad boy” Hans Niemann was accused of cheating by grandmaster Magnus Carlsen. The accusations went reduced. Seriously minimal. Niemann sooner or later sued Carlsen, Chess.com, Play Magnus Group, and a different grandmaster, Hikaru Nakamura for defamation. Chess.com settled, and Carlsen explained in a assertion that he’d participate in Niemann all over again.
