Im still surprised Flash Boys hasn’t materialized into a movie yet, maybe it’s a bit past the point of relevance now.

- HWR_14 4y agoMoneyball and The Big Short were about major events that Americans noticed and cared about. Flash Boys wasn't. Most Americans never even heard of HFT. I still think it would be a great movie, but it never had the same relevance.
- lightbendover 4y agoThat’s a good point, but a movie doesn’t have to be a blockbuster to be good or even successful. Plenty of movies have tackled similar niche areas. It’s not like Flash Boys would need a massive budget and probably couldn’t even successfully use big name actors. There have been repeated attempts to get a movie out of it so I assume there must be some good reason for the repeated failure.
