An Elon Musk biopic is in development at A24 with Oscar-nominated Darren Aronofsky set to direct, according to Variety.
Walter Isaacson's recently released authorised biography of the world's richest person will serve as the basis for the screenplay.
Isaacson's book on Apple chief executive Steve Jobs was previously adapted into the 2015 film of the same name starring Michael Fassbender.
Variety said that there was "heated competition" on the rights to the book, with indie studio A24 securing the rights.
Darren Aronofsky is best known for his surreal filmmaking style, with directing credits including Requiem for a Dream, Black Swan, and Mother!
Musk addressed the news on X later on Friday (local time), writing in response to a post by X News Daily: "Glad Darren is doing it. He is one of the best."
There is no word on who has been tapped to portray the Tesla billionaire.
