Ike Barinholtz reportedly set to portray Elon Musk in Luca Guadagnino's AI-themed film Artificial
Ike Barinholtz is reportedly in negotiations to play tech mogul Elon Musk in Artificial, Luca Guadagnino's upcoming AI-centered feature for Amazon MGM Studios, Deadline reports. The project marks a continued collaboration between Guadagnino and the studio, following previous films such as Challengers and Bones and All. Artificial is described as a comedic drama set in the world of artificial intelligence. While plot details remain largely undisclosed, multiple sources suggest the film draws inspiration from the real-life events at OpenAI in 2023—particularly the brief ousting and reinstatement of CEO Sam Altman during a turbulent period for the company. Barinholtz, who recently earned his first Emmy nomination for his role as Sal Saperstein in Apple TV+'s The Studio, joins a cast that includes Andrew Garfield, Anora breakout Yura Borisov, and Cooper Koch. Monica Barbaro is also reportedly in talks for a role. The film's script was written by Simon Rich (An American Pickle), who will also produce alongside David Heyman and Jeffrey Clifford of Heyday Films, and producer Jennifer Fox. Barinholtz is well-known for his versatility in comedy, both on television and film. In addition to The Studio, he co-created Netflix's sports comedy Running Point, recently renewed for a second season, and has appeared in popular projects such as The Mindy Project, Blockers, and The Afterparty. He is represented by UTA, Artists First, and Yorn, Levine, Barnes. Artificial continues Guadagnino's streak of high-profile projects with Amazon MGM, which is also producing his upcoming drama After the Hunt—set to premiere at the Venice Film Festival and starring Julia Roberts, Andrew Garfield, and Ayo Edebiri. No release date for Artificial has been announced.

What We Know About Channel 4's Taylor Swift 2-Part ‘Taylor' Docuseries
We're finally getting more Taylor Swift content. Over the past two decades, the singer-songwriter cemented herself as a pop culture icon and made history as the first artist to become a billionaire solely from her musical projects. Now, we get a closer look at her journey with a new 2-part docuseries coming to the U.K.'s Channel 4. Unlike her wildly successful Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film, Deadline reports that the Guy King-directed project will draw footage from a 'rare archive' and feature commentary from experts and Swifties alike. 'Taylor Swift is an unprecedentedly powerful 21st-century voice for women and young people,' the director wrote in a statement published by Deadline. 'Under the microscope of social media since the earliest days of MySpace and Tumblr, she came of age during a new feminist wave. With her fame came controversy, which she so skillfully wrestled to the floor. We're excited to tell her story.' The series will be produced by Sandpaper Films, which also released Doom Scroll: Andrew Tate and the Dark Side of the Internet, A Deadly American Marriage, and Investigating Diana. Just last year, Channel 4 released another Tay-inspired documentary, The Rise and Rise of Taylor Swift: Untold, which showed how her 'incredibly loyal fanbase helped carry her to the top.' While there's no release date tied to the new project just yet, it comes hot on the heels of Taylor acquiring the masters of her first six albums, which were purchased by Scooter Braun in 2019 and later sold to Shamrock Holdings in 2020. After re-recording four of her first six albums and embarking on the Eras Tour, the 14-time Grammy winner shared that she now owns her entire musical catalog in an emotional letter she penned to her fans on May 30. 'I really get to say these words: All of the music I've ever made… now belongs to me,' she wrote, in part, adding that she also owns all her music videos, concert films, album art and photography, and unreleased songs. She continued, 'To say this is my greatest dream come true is actually being pretty casual about it. To my fans, you know how important this has been to me—so much so that I meticulously re-recorded and released four albums, calling them Taylor's Versions. The passionate support you showed those albums and the success you found giving The Eras Tour into why I was able to buy back my music. I can't thank you enough for helping to reunite me with this art that I have dedicated my life to, but never owned until now. All I've ever wanted was the opportunity to work hard enough to be able to one day purchase my music outright.' All that to say... we can't wait to see the story of Taylor unfold in the new docuseries.
