Darren Aronofsky Will Direct an Elon Musk Biopic for A24


The film, Aronofsky's second for A24, is based on Walter Isaacson’s biography of the tech mogul.

Darren Aronofsky has lined up his next project: a biopic on the life of Elon Musk for A24.


A representative for A24 confirmed the project to IndieWire; it was originally reported by Puck. The film will be based on Walter Isaacson’s biography of the tech mogul and SpaceX CEO, published this past September. Isaacson’s 2011 biography of Steve Jobs inspired the 2015 Oscar-nominated film directed by Danny Boyle.


The Elon Musk biopic marks the “Requiem for a Dream” filmmaker’s second homegrown project at A24 after last year’s “The Whale” won Brendan Fraser the Oscar for Best Actor. (A24 did, however, acquire Aronofsky’s debut feature film, the 1998 Sundance sensation “Pi,” for IMAX re-release.) Prior to “The Whale,” Aronofsky directed the provocative biblical allegory “mother!” for Paramount and, in 2011, received an Academy Award nomination for Best Director for Searchlight’s “Black Swan.” Most recently, Aronofsky directed the film “Postcards from Earth,” currently showing exclusively at The Sphere in Las Vegas.


It’s been just over a year since Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion and turned it into the rebranded X, making layoffs and changes that have caused uproar among users, including charging them for verification status. 

The polarizing businessman stepped down as chairman of Tesla in 2018 after being an early investor in the electric vehicle manufacturer; that year, the SEC sued him for falsely tweeting that he’d privately taken over the company. 

Musk founded California-based spacecraft manufacturer and defense contractor SpaceX in 2002.
