A24 is going to release biopic on Elon Musk

A24, an independent film powerhouse, is developing a biopic about tech mogul Elon Musk. The film is set to be directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Darren Aronofsky, known for his intense and sometimes surreal dramas such as "Pi," "Requiem for a Dream," "The Fountain," and "The Wrestler". The project will be based on Walter Isaacson's bestselling biography of Elon Musk, which was published in September 2023. A24 secured the film rights to the book after a highly competitive bidding war.

The biopic will be co-produced by A24 and Aronofsky's production company, Protozoa Pictures. As of now, it is not clear who will portray Musk in the film. Some suggested actors include Leonardo DiCaprio, Paul Dano, Shia LaBeouf, Joaquin Phoenix, Nicolas Cage, Rami Malek, Robert Downey Jr., and Jesse Eisenberg.

Elon Musk, born on June 28, 1971, in Pretoria, South Africa, is a business magnate and investor. He is the founder, chairman, CEO, and chief technology officer of SpaceX; angel investor, CEO, product architect, and former chairman of Tesla, Inc.; owner, chairman, and CTO of X Corp.; founder of the Boring Company; co-founder of Neuralink and OpenAI; and president of the Musk Foundation. He is currently the wealthiest person in the world, with an estimated net worth of over $200 billion.

The biopic will likely delve into Musk's personal life, which includes his relationships and his ten surviving children. It will also likely explore his professional life, including his founding of SpaceX, his early investment in Tesla, and his controversial decision to purchase Twitter for $44 billion and rebrand it to X.

As of now, there is no release date or casting for the Elon Musk film.
