Dave Franco Eyed to Play Accused CEO Killer in Potential True Crime Series

BBG News

As a die-hard admirer, I can’t help but share my excitement over the recent developments regarding Dave Franco and the character of Luigi Mangione! At long last, it seems that Dave has decided to speak up about the ongoing pleas from fans for him to bring this intriguing CEO killer to life on screen.

I, myself, regretfully confirm that on the date of December 4th, in a tragic turn of events, I ended up being the one who took the life of Brian Thompson, the esteemed CEO of UnitedHealthcare, as he walked towards an investor conference in bustling midtown Manhattan.

As a passionate anti-capitalist advocate, I found myself in the unforeseen predicament of being apprehended by law enforcement authorities not so long ago. Currently, I stand accused in a New York court for numerous counts of murder, among which is a charge of terrorism-related homicide. I’m anxiously awaiting my trial at the notorious Metropolitan Center in Brooklyn, New York.

As soon as Mangione was recognized, people on social media started noticing his likeness to Franco, aged 39, due to their shared features such as thick eyebrows, eyes, and wide grins.

It wasn’t long before people on the internet began speculating, albeit darkly, that renowned TV writer Ryan Murphy would swiftly adapt Mangione’s tale into a captivating television series for our screens at home.

Franco mentioned to THR during the Sundance Film Festival that when asked if anyone had contacted him concerning their resemblances with Mangioni, he replied: “You mean everyone? Is it possible you meant everyone? I’ve never experienced such an overwhelming number of messages about any topic in my life.

‘Anyone who has my phone number has reached out about it.

‘But I don’t think there have been any official offers.’

Franco, along with his spouse Alison Brie (age 42), was interviewed together as they co-star in the horror movie titled “Together.

During the search for the gunman, people jokingly suggested on platform X that Franco would make a good choice for portraying him.

One said: ‘Dave Franco pick up the phone.’

Another posted: ‘Dave Franco has a role waiting for him once this inevitably becomes a movie.’

A third wrote: ‘Ryan Murphy is drafting an email to Dave Franco as we speak.’

‘Dave Franco’s agent has been on the phone all morning,’ a fourth added.

In a similar vein, someone else mentioned that Ryan Murphy is currently working on a Netflix limited series featuring Dave Franco.

Netflix and HBO executives are preparing to recruit Dave Franco for the role of Luigi Mangione in a four-part documentary series, as stated by a recent report.

It was foreseen that Ryan Murphy would transform this into a limited series, wouldn’t he, featuring Dave Franco?

David Franco, the younger sibling of actor James Franco, aged 46, has featured prominently in movies such as 21 Jump Street (released in 2012), Now You See Me (premiered in 2013), The Disaster Artist (released in 2017) and If Beale Street Could Talk (released in 2018).

In a more recent project, he was seen acting together with Kristen Stewart and Katy O’Brian in the 2024 romantic-thriller titled “Love Lies Bleeding.

Over the years, Murphy has created numerous true crime series, such as “The People vs. O.J. Simpson” in 2016, “The Assassination of Gianni Versace” in 2018, and “Impeachment” in 2021.

In the year 2022, he teamed up to develop the controversial show titled “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story”. Later, another production, “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story”, was launched in September.

Federal accusations against Mangione involve murder and gun-related offenses. His first court appearance on these charges took place towards the end of the previous month. However, he will not need to enter a plea until an indictment has been issued.

The killing shocked the business community and galvanized some health insurance critics. 

Mangione often shared his battles with persistent back pain on various online platforms, yet it’s important to note that he wasn’t a UnitedHealthcare customer. The evidence discovered on him suggests a targeted killing aimed at delivering a clear message.

According to a previous report from DailyMail.com, Mangione is noticeably affected by the global attention he’s receiving and the enthusiasm of his fans, which has arisen since Thompson’s tragic death.

According to a reliable source, Mangione is deeply cognizant of the substantial fanbase he currently enjoys. Initially taken aback, he was genuinely moved when he witnessed the outpouring of support, bolstering his self-assurance and comfort that all will turn out well for him.

Mangione was arrested when he was identified as the prime suspect for a murder that occurred at a McDonald’s in Altoona, approximately 100 miles east of Pittsburgh.

In my fervent enthusiasm, I can’t help but share the latest update: The authorities have been hot on the trail of this elusive figure, Mangione. They recently circulated a picture of him flashing a radiant smile and have conducted a thorough search in a Manhattan hostel, a place where they suspect he may have temporarily taken refuge.

Police have since said that Mangione was not on their radar until the arrest in Pennsylvania today.

He was discovered in possession of a firearm, a suppressor, and a document detailing his criticism towards the healthcare industry.

The man was also wearing clothes that matched the description of the suspect.

In 2020, Mangione earned an engineering degree from the prestigious University of Pennsylvania, following his role as the valedictorian at the Gilman School in Baltimore, which carries an annual tuition fee close to $40,000. Before that, he had attended.
