Jesse Armstrong’s HBO Movie Drops Title & Shock Premiere Date!

The upcoming HBO movie created by Succession’s Jesse Armstrong now has both a title and a release date, along with the suggestion of an extremely compact production timeline.

The upcoming movie, titled “Mountainhead“, centers around four wealthy friends uniting amidst a global crisis. According to HBO, it’s slated to premiere on May 31, marking the last day for Emmy consideration in the 2024-25 season. Filming is scheduled to conclude this week.

The production timeline for this film is remarkably quick, as it started shooting just last month in Park City, Utah. Due to the tight schedule, it seems that the film, being Armstrong’s directorial debut, may not feature numerous locations or intricate setups. Nevertheless, considering its prestigious cast and backing, it could well be HBO’s most prominent original movie in quite some time.

HBO has unveiled the initial snapshots from the upcoming movie “Mountainhead“. These images offer a glimpse into the film’s backdrop. The pictures show the principal characters, played by Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, Cory Michael Smith, and Ramy Youssef, in a lavishly decorated house (as shown at the top) and clad in winter sports attire (shown above). Additionally, there’s an establishing shot that appears to be of the mountain retreat where the main characters convene.

In addition to Hadley Robinson (“Winning Time”), Andy Daly (“Review”), Ali Kinkade (“Lessons in Chemistry”), Daniel Oreskes (“Elsbeth”), David Thompson (“Gotham”), Ami MacKenzie and Ava Kostia, the cast of “Mountainhead” also includes other stars.

In the film “Mountainhead”, Armstrong not only wrote and directed but also served as executive producer alongside Frank Rich, Lucy Prebble, Jon Brown, Tony Roche, Will Tracy, Mark Mylod, and Jill Footlick. With the exception of Footlick who has worked on shows like “Severance” and “Jack Ryan”, all other executive producers have previously collaborated with Armstrong on “Succession”.
