The film, which stars Steve Carell, Ramy Youssef, Jason Schwartzman and Cory Michael Smith as billionaires in crisis, is his first project following the Emmy-winning TV show. However, he told The Hollywood Reporter why it's not what he intended.

Jesse Armstrong talks about the pressure of following the success of "Succession" with his new movie "Mountainhead."

Just like Succession, HBO's gone-but-not-forgotten drama series, Mountainhead comes from the satiric mind of Jesse Armstrong and focuses on a group of unserious billionaires. However, critics aren't as enthusiastic about the new TV movie as they were with its Emmy-winning predecessor.
