Movie Focusing on Hulk Hogan vs Gawker Case in Development from Ben Affleck & Matt Damon
Artists Equity Acquisition Kickstarts Production
The Controversial Lawsuit Gets the Hollywood Treatment
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's production company, Artists Equity, is set to bring the Hulk Hogan vs Gawker Media legal battle to the big screen. The untitled film, currently known as "Killing Gawker," will explore the landmark 2016 court case that ended with a $140 million jury verdict against Gawker.
The lawsuit stemmed from Gawker's publication of a sex tape featuring Hogan in 2012. Hogan argued that the website violated his privacy rights by publishing the video without his consent. The case ignited a heated debate about the boundaries of free speech and privacy in the digital age.
The film is expected to delve into the legal strategies, personal struggles, and public outcries that surrounded the case. Affleck and Damon will serve as producers, but no casting or release date has been announced.
The Hulk Hogan vs Gawker case remains a hot-button topic in media circles. The upcoming film has the potential to reignite the debate and offer a fresh perspective on the complex issues it raised.
