Elon Musk will have his very own movie. It was confirmed that the biopic—a movie dramatizing a person's life—is already being developed by A24.
For those who are not familiar with A24, it is the indie production house behind the popular indie films "Everything Everywhere All At Once" and "Moonlight."
But, the most-awaited part about this movie is the actor who will portray the billionaire tech executive.
Elon Musk is Getting His Own Movie!
According to Business Insider's latest report, the upcoming movie about Elon Musk will be based on the billionaire's biography, which was written by Walter Isaacson.
Based on the book, which was published earlier this 2023, Isaacson followed the tech executive for over two years just to complete Musk's biography.
The American author (also the former CEO and chair of CNN) even shadowed the chaotic period when Elon acquired Twitter (now called X).
There's no denying that the overall movie is expected to be intriguing since it will be handled by A24. However, the best part about this is how the main actor portrays the peculiar billionaire.
CNBC reported that the individual who will be chosen to act as Elon Musk could even be bound for Oscar glory.
Although many experts said that popular actors will likely try to close the deal to portray Elon Musk, they need to make more effort than usual since Darren Aronofsky will be part of the board to direct the film.
Darren Aronofsky is a well-known American filmmaker who usually demands his actors to go to award-show-worthy extremes. This can be seen in his great track record, which pushed his actors and actresses to be nominated for Oscars and actually win one.
