In the upcoming film 'Artificial', it's Andrew Garfield portraying Sam Altman, but speculation swirls around who'll embody Elon Musk within the movie.
In an exciting turn of events, Emmy-nominated actor Ike Barinholtz is set to portray tech mogul Elon Musk in the upcoming movie "Artificial". Directed by Luca Guadagnino, this comedic drama delves into the tumultuous events at OpenAI, with a focus on the brief firing and rehiring of Sam Altman as CEO[1][2][3][4][5].
Andrew Garfield will be playing the role of Sam Altman, while Yura Borisov will portray Ilya Sutskever, one of the OpenAI co-founders[1][2]. The movie offers a satirical yet emotionally nuanced take on the AI industry and its controversies.
Musk’s character is reportedly more of a minor, comic relief role, reflecting his peripheral involvement in the crisis and his focus on his own AI ventures[1][2][4]. The screenplay is written by Simon Rich, known for his comedy writing, which blends real events and fictionalized dialogue[1][2][4].
The film is expected to provide a humorous yet insightful look at Silicon Valley power struggles. With a strong star presence, "Artificial" is set to be released on October 10, offering a unique perspective on the darkest days of OpenAI's history[3].
It's important to note that Musk has been a long-standing adversary of Sam Altman, and there have been public disagreements between the two, including a recent dispute over the position of ChatGPT in the Apple Store[6][7]. Musk has also threatened to take legal action against Apple over the matter[8].
Furthermore, Chris O'Dowd has joined the cast, but the character he will play remains unknown[9]. Monica Barbaro is playing Mira Murati, the former Interim CEO of OpenAI, in the movie[10].
As for Elon Musk's representation in the movie, there has been no official confirmation about who will play him. However, Barinholtz's energetic, unpredictable, and somewhat poignant performance in "The Studio" has led many to consider him a strong candidate for the role[11][12].
Stay tuned for more updates on "Artificial" as we approach its release date!
