My only question is "who has control over the script and final edit"?

Katz and Fenkel I guess. A24 bought the rights to the authorized biography, so it's probably going to generate a fairly safe script.
In that case I really hope it is inspired by rather than based on that milquetoast piece of hagiography.
Yeah I'm quite curious about whether they bought it just to make money regurgitating it, or whether they have something more interesting in mind and are using it more as a shield against litigation.
You can't copyright reality, so buying the rights to biographies and other nonfiction books is always just a litigation shield.
Aronofsky is not the kind of guy that makes safe films.
This is gonna be, above anything else, very weird.
It is kind of intriguing...
If this is honest, it won't be a pro-Musk film. But I would be impressed if that's actually the angle here. Unfortunately with the other news about A24 shifting direction, I think this is likely another biopic money grab, and for a very bad human, but I hope I'm wrong.
Yeah that's what I think too... on the other hand why attach Aronofsky? Will be interesting to see what eventuates.
Aronofsky is a little hit-or-miss for me, and this subject doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. It's going to take a lot more to get me to watch this. Musk is loathsome and 90+ minutes with him could easily turn out to be tortuous.
Looking forward to the Musk/Zuck ass-to-ass scene...
Omg.
As someone with a very visual imagination, I'm kind of hating you right now!
Yeah...? Nah... Quit talking his name it's a disservice to humanity.
Aronofsky's an interesting director though.
Still haven't seen black swan but it's on my list!
Not his best IMO but still worth it!
i envision this somewhat like watching mr magoo stumble into inventing things
You mean invented things. Musk hasn't invented anything.
Ha ha!
I want it to be like The Wrestler but it's probably going to be more like The Fountain.
