An Elon Musk biopic is in the works – and no one's excited
It has been confirmed by Variety that an Elon Musk biopic is in the works at A24, and it doesn't seem many people are excited. The announcement came yesterday from Puck, with Darren Aronofsky on board to direct the film. Aronofsky is known for directing films such as The Whale, Black Swan, and Requiem for a Dream. The basis for the screenplay will be based on Walter Isaacson's authorised biography of the Twitter/X CEO. Isaacson's book on Steve Jobs was previously adapted into a movie by Universal. Musk responded to the announcement saying: "Glad Darren is doing it. He is one of the best." But whilst Musk may be happy about the news, he seems like one of the only ones. Many joked to "bring back the strike", in reference to the recent end of the SAG-AFTRA strike. Another joked that the film was going to be a horror: One user gave their suggestion for a title: "How to Kill Twitter Without Really Trying". However, some felt hopeful that the portrayal of Musk would not be a favourable one: We'll just have to wait and see how the film turns out...

Iceland earthquakes – live: Thousands told to evacuate over volcanic eruption fears as UK gives travel warning
Authorities in Iceland have declared a state of emergency and asked thousands of people to evacuate after hundreds of earthquakes rocked the country's southwestern Reykjanes peninsula. The UK have ramped up its advice to British travellers, saying it is “increasingly possible” that a volcanic eruption could occur. However, they advise: “Keflavik International Airport is operating as normal. While there is no current eruption, it is increasingly possible that one could occur. You should monitor local media for updates and follow the authorities advice on travel to the area.” The advice stops well short of advising against travel to Iceland, meaning airlines and holiday companies are operating as normal – with no automatic right to cancel. Iceland’s National Police Commissioner declared a state of emergency for civil defence after 1,485 earthquakes hit the country in the last 48 hours. Thousands of people living in the southwestern town of Grindavik have been asked to leave as a precaution. According to information from the Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO), seismic activity in the area has increased significantly since 3pm on Friday.
