Ike Barinholtz in Talks to Play Elon Musk in AI Film
Imagine a funny movie about robots and smart computers!
This movie, called 'Artificial,' will star Ike Barinholtz, maybe playing the role of Elon Musk, a very rich and famous person who helped start a company called OpenAI.
The story might be about a time when the head of OpenAI, Sam Altman, was suddenly fired and then rehired.
Elon Musk left OpenAI a while ago because he didn't agree with where it was headed.
The movie is being made by some very talented people, and it should be an interesting and comedic look at artificial intelligence.
Ike Barinholtz is in talks to portray Elon Musk in Luca Guadagnino's AI-themed film, 'Artificial'.
The film is a comedic drama set in the world of artificial intelligence.
The plot may involve events at OpenAI in 2023 when Sam Altman was fired and rehired.
Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015 but left in 2018 due to disagreements.
Simon Rich wrote the script for 'Artificial' and will produce the film.
