Claim
to be written by Vanessa Taylor
Correction
Major trade reports about the 2021 Apple Studios "Bad Blood" film say Adam McKay will write and direct it, not Vanessa Taylor.
Full reasoning
Multiple contemporary reports on the 2021 announcement of Apple Studios’ *Bad Blood* film state that **Adam McKay will write, direct, and produce** the project.
- **TheWrap (Dec 7, 2021)** headline subdeck explicitly says: “**McKay will write, direct and produce** film about Theranos CEO.”
- **Motion Picture Association’s The Credits (Dec 7, 2021)** likewise states: “**McKay… will write, direct, and produce** the film.”
Those sources directly contradict the claim that the film adaptation was “**to be written by Vanessa Taylor**.” (If Taylor is involved at all, she is not identified as the writer in these announcement reports; instead, McKay is.)
