deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: The wild story of crypto couple Ilya “Dutch” Lichtenstein and Heather “Razzlekhan” Morgan is headed to the screen.
Hulu is in early development of limited series Razzlekhan: The Infamous Crocodile of Wall Street, from Searchlight Television.
Lily Collins (Emily In Paris) is set to star as Morgan in the project, which she is producing with Charlie McDowell, who is slated to direct, and Alex Orlovsky.The trio also produced Windfall, directed by McDowell with Collins starring opposite Jesse Plemons and Jason Segel.
The film was released earlier this year on Netflix.Based on the NY Magazine article “The Many Lives of Crypto’s Most Notorious Couple,” the series focuses on Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan (Collins), tipped to be either the masterminds behind one of the largest heists in history or a pair of hapless wannabe entrepreneurs who somehow stumbled onto a hard drive containing $3.6 Billion USD in Bitcoin stolen from the Finex exchange.The title of the series, Razzlekhan, comes from Morgan’s alter ego as a YouTube rapper.Described as a character study, a love story and crime thriller told with humor and honesty, the series will follow Heather (Collins) and Ilya as they struggle with their relationship, the pressures of sitting on stolen crypto with no easy way to make it liquid, and their aspirations in the fishbowl of the NYC tech/media world.
