Emmy-nominated actor Ike Barinholtz is in talks to portray Elon Musk in a new film described as a "comedic drama" about the firing and rehiring of Sam Altman at OpenAI, Deadline reports.
Barinholtz is known for shows like "The Mindy Project" and "The Studio."
Zoom in: The film, which is under development by Amazon MGM Studios, would also feature Andrew Garfield and "Anora" actor Yura Borisov.
It's not clear who would portray Altman, who has become Musk's real-life nemesis since they've clashed over OpenAI's ambitions.
💠Nathan's thought bubble: The days of Hollywood lionizing Elon Musk as a partial inspiration for "Iron Man" feel like ancient history.
