The Studio star Ike Barinholtz is reportedly set to play Elon Musk in Amazon’s Artificial, a movie about ChatGPT maker OpenAI.
The Hollywood Reporter said Barinholtz is in talks to play the X / Twitter and Tesla owner in Artificial, which also stars Spider-Man actor Andrew Garfield as OpenAI boss Sam Altman, and Anora actor Yura Borisov as OpenAI co-founder Iya Stuskever.
Artificial is directed by Luca Guadagnino, who recently directed After the Hunt, starring Julia Roberts, Garfield, and Ayo Edebiri. It hits theaters October 10. Guadagnino also directed last year’s Challengers, starring Zendaya.
Artificial will reportedly cover the dramatic firing and rehiring of Altman in 2023. Musk, an OpenAI co-founder, is ambroiled in a public spat with OpenAI over the way the business is run, and also has his own rival AI, Grok, built into X / Twitter.
According to a report by Variety, Artificial is described as a “comedic drama set in the world of artificial intelligence.”
