Fielder, Stone, and A24 are reportedly teaming back up for Checkmate, about a recent high-profile chess cheating scandal
Hot on the heels of their Showtime series The Curse —which is just revving up what’ll likely be a pretty extensive Emmys campaign— Nathan Fielder and Emma Stone are reportedly close to lining up their next project together. THR reports tonight that A24 is on the verge of securing the film rights to Checkmate, a book proposal about a high-profile chess-cheating scandal by writer Ben Mezrich , who previously penned the books that ended up generating The Social Network and last year’s Dumb Money.
And yes, before you ask—your mind racing through all the other extremely prominent chess scandals of recent years we might be talking about here—this is the one where chess grandmaster Hans Niemann was pelted by internet pundits with memes that he was using anal beads to help him cheat in tournament matches. The accusations shook the competitive chess world in 2022, after world champion player Magnus Carlsen resigned from a game with Niemann, tacitly accusing his opponent of cheating.
