Elon Musk and Darren Aronofsky.

LOS ANGELES, Nov 11, (Agencies): Elon Musk's compelling narrative is set to grace the silver screen as A24 secures the rights to produce a film based on Walter Isaacson's recently authorized biography. Acclaimed director Darren Aronofsky, known for "The Whale," will helm the project under his production company, Protozoa Pictures.

While details of the film remain tightly guarded, the 52-year-old SpaceX and Tesla CEO took to his social media platform, X, formerly known as Twitter, to express his enthusiasm for the collaboration with the 54-year-old Aronofsky. Musk shared, "Glad Darren is doing it. He is one of the best." Aronofsky's noteworthy filmography includes works such as "Black Swan," "The Wrestler," and "Requiem for a Dream."

Released in September, Isaacson's biography unveils fresh insights into the billionaire entrepreneur's childhood, relationships with former spouses and girlfriends, and his role as a father to multiple children. Simon & Schuster, the publisher, disclosed that Isaacson, renowned for his biography of late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, dedicated two years to shadowing and interviewing Musk, along with conversations with his family, friends, and colleagues.

Speaking of Musk, Isaacson noted, "He has a lot of fans and a lot of enemies, and my book tries to tell a straightforward narrative." Reflecting on his book,, "I thought it was going to be more about rocket ships and electric cars. It became a more exciting ride."

Beyond Musk's business and technological endeavors, he also embraces the role of a father to 11 children. Three of his children, X Æ A-12, 3, and Techno Mechanicus, are shared with ex Grimes, along with daughter Exa Dark Sideræl, who will turn 2 next month.
