Convexity Films Developing Michael Lewis’s Silicon Valley Book ‘The New New Thing’ As Narrative Feature


'The New New Thing' is getting a feature adaptation from filmmaker Richard Dewey's Convexity Films, decades after the book's original publication.

Through the prism of Clark’s work, Lewis provides a look at the culture of innovation, risk-taking, and entrepreneurship that defined the late 20th-century tech industry. Of The New New Thing, Dewey stated, “This is my favorite Michael Lewis book, and it represents a singular moment when the internet entered the mainstream. Known for his ability to take complex subjects of contemporary economics and make them accessible and engaging for a broad audience, Lewis has seen three of his books adapted into Academy-Award-nominated films: Moneyball, The Blind Side, and The Big Short.
