Hulk Hogan ‘Killing Gawker’ Film in Active Development With Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s Artists Equity
A film about Hulk Hogan's infamous legal battle against Gawker is officially in the works with Artists Equity.
Artists Equity, MattDamon and Ben Affleck’s production banner, has acquired a screenplay written by Charles Randolph and based on Ryan Holiday’s book “Conspiracy: Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker and the Anatomy of Intrigue.” The project is in active development. In the initial ruling, the jury found that Gawker violated Hogan’s privacy by posting the tape, and that he suffered severe emotional distress from the leak. In July 2021, Gawker relaunched under the ownership of Bustle Digital Group, whose founder and CEO Bryan Goldberg bought the website’s assets for $1.35 million in a 2018 bankruptcy auction.
