After allegedly assassinating UnitedHealth Care CEO Brian Thompson last year, Luigi Mangione became one of America\u2019s hottest alleged killers. Though he has yet to succumb to the fate of Naked\u00a0<\/a>Gun<\/a>\u2018s Sexy Jailbird, who fans may know as \u201cFarting Guy,\u201d Mangione did reveal the American public\u2019s simmering hatred of its profit-driven healthcare industrial complex. In the weeks that followed Thompson\u2019s murder, Mangione\u2019s arrest became a flashpoint in America, where supporters wore green Luigi caps to show their support for Mangione as the American justice system did everything in its power to make him look hotter and more powerful. Nearly a year later, as calls for \u201cFree Luigi\u201d grow fainter and America sleepwalks into a healthcare system led by a guy with brain worms<\/a>, Oscar-winning documentarian Alex Gibney will put it all on display in an upcoming Hulu documentary.<\/p>\n

According to Deadline<\/a>, Gibney has sold the documentary project about Mangione to Hulu. Filming is underway as Mangione, who was charged with four federal crimes and indicted in April, awaits trial. The untitled documentary will examine \u201chow the spectacle of violence can obscure deeper truths.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the tradition of previous Jigsaw investigations,\u201d Gibney said, \u201cI think that people who think they know the story will be surprised and moved by the details hiding behind the headlines.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is no release date on the movie, but Gibney, as always, has plenty of irons in the fire. He also has a documentary about Salman Rushdie and Elon Musk in the works. The Mangione doc is Gibney\u2019s latest collaboration with Hulu. Previously, he co-created the 2018 9\/11 drama The Looming Tower and directed the first episode.<\/p>\n

Going Clear director Alex Gibney is making an \u201cunvarnished examination\u201d of Elon Musk<\/a>In The Forever Prisoner, Alex Gibney incisively aims at the post-9\/11 legalization of torture<\/a><\/p>\n

Not to be outdone, there\u2019s another Luigi Mangione documentary on the way from Amanda Knox director Stephen Robert Morse<\/a>. Is there no cure for Luigi fever? Probably, but it isn\u2019t in-network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After allegedly assassinating UnitedHealth Care CEO Brian Thompson last year, Luigi Mangione became one of America\u2019s hottest alleged…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":112712,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[88,206],"class_list":["post-112711","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112711","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=112711"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112711\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/112712"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=112711"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=112711"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=112711"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
