Lili Reinhart Will Star in the Movie Adaptation of 'The Love Hypothesis'
Ali Hazelwood's bestselling romance novel The Love Hypothesis is officially coming to the big screen. The forthcoming film from Amazon MGM Studios and MRC will be directed by Claire Scanlon (Set It Up) and penned by Sarah Rothschild (The Sleepover). Hazelwood will also executive produce the adaptation.
Here's everything we know about the project so far.
The Love Hypothesis follows a third-year biology Ph.D. candidate named Olive Smith who begins a fake relationship with a professor, Dr. Adam Carlsen.
Lili Reinhart (Riverdale) will play Olive Smith, the Ph.D. candidate. (Reinhart will also executive produce the film.) On July 16, she shared the news on Instagram with a photo of her holding a copy of the book while wearing white scrubs. She captioned the post: '👀🧬❤️ #thelovehypothesis.'
She also posted a fun TikTok of her in a bookstore. In the video, she says, 'I'm looking for a book that could be turned into a really good romantic comedy that I could possibly be the lead of.' A bookstore employee then hands her a copy of The Love Hypothesis.
She posted another video of her in a lab, wearing scrubs, and highlighting a section of the book:
Reinhart's co-star will be Tom Bateman (Death on the Nile). He'll play the professor, Dr. Carlsen. She celebrated Bateman's casting announcement with a third TikTok video introducing his character and their romance arc.
In a statement, Hazelwood expressed her excitement about the upcoming adaptation. 'Elizabeth Cantillon [the film's producer], Claire Scanlon, and Lili Reinhart have all created, produced, or starred in works that I'm absolutely feral about, and I am beyond honored that they're choosing to bring their talent to this project,' she said, per Deadline.
She continued, 'Books and films are very different media, and I have complete trust in this brilliant team. I cannot wait to see the final product they'll come up with. I hope they have as much fun filming as I had while writing the book.'
As of now, Reinhart and Co. have yet to announce a release date, but stay tuned.

Actor Ike Barinholtz Will Play Elon Musk In Sam Altman OpenAI Movie
Actor Ike Barinholtz is in talks to portray the world's richest person, Elon Musk, in an upcoming comedy-drama movie that will reportedly center on the brief ousting of billionaire Sam Altman from the helm of OpenAI in 2023. Elon Musk will reportedly be portrayed in the upcoming film "Artificial." (Photo by Chip ...) Getty Images The upcoming film, 'Artificial,' is still in development at Amazon MGM Studios and is expected to shoot later this year with a planned release for 2026, multiple outlets reported. Actor Ike Barinholtz, who recently scored an Emmy nomination for his role in 'The Studio,' is in talks to play Elon Musk in the film, multiple outlets reported Wednesday. Andrew Garfield is attached to play another billionaire, OpenAI co-founder and CEO Sam Altman, with actor Yura Borisov also set to play OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever. Though few details of the plot are known, the film is described as a comedy-drama about the few days between Altman's firing and re-hiring as OpenAI's CEO in November 2023. Luca Guadagnino, known for his films including 'Call Me By Your Name' and 'Challengers,' is directing the project. Forbes has reached out to Amazon MGM Studios for comment. Matthew Belloni, entertainment reporter at Puck, claimed he obtained a copy of the 'Artificial' script, stating Musk and Altman will 'probably hate their portrayals' and that Musk is referred to as a 'dictator' at one point in the script. Belloni noted the script is a draft and could change before the movie shoots, but said Musk appears in a few scenes of 'villainy and comic relief.' Other billionaires included in the draft, according to Belloni, include former OpenAI vice president of research and current Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, as well as Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. Why Was Sam Altman Fired From Openai? Altman, who co-founded OpenAI in 2015 and was installed as CEO in 2019, was fired from his post on Nov. 17, 2023 by the company's board, which said it no longer had 'confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI.' In its statement, the board accused Altman of not being candid with it, though the details surrounding his firing, which was considered a shock, were unclear. The following year, board member Helen Toner, who helped oust Altman, said Altman made the board's job 'really difficult' by 'withholding information, misrepresenting things that were happening at the company' and sometimes 'outright lying to the board,' alleging he did not inform the board about ChatGPT's 2022 release. She also claimed two executives said they had endured 'psychological abuse' and a 'toxic atmosphere' crafted by Altman. Hundreds of employees threatened to quit OpenAI after Altman's firing, and on Nov. 22, the board announced Altman would be reinstated. Sutskever, who is portrayed in 'Artificial,' was reportedly a leader of the effort to remove Altman, though he later expressed regret for the ouster and signed the open letter threatening to quit unless Altman was reinstated. Musk has been parodied multiple times on 'Saturday Night Live,' which he lambasted in posts on X. After Dana Carvey tackled Musk in a post-election episode in November, Musk tweeted 'SNL' has been 'dying slowly for years, as they become increasingly out of touch with reality.' In a separate post, he said 'Dana Carvey just sounds like Dana Carvey.' Musk was parodied months later by Mike Myers, prompting the billionaire to post: 'SNL hasn't been funny in a long time. They are their own parody.' Musk hosted 'SNL' in 2021, and three years later, cast member Chloe Fineman said he was 'rude' on set and made her cry by calling a sketch she had written 'not funny.' Forbes Valuation Forbes estimates Musk's net worth at $415 billion as of Wednesday, making him the wealthiest person in the world. He owns about 12% of Tesla and 42% of SpaceX, both of which he co-founded. Altman is worth $1.8 billion, according to Forbes estimates, largely from his investments in Stripe, Reddit and other companies.

Hakeem Jeffries recruiting new digital aide after Photoshop fail warped area around his hips
Hakeem Jeffries needs someone who can shoot the hip. The House Minority Leader is hiring a new digital manager to help the Brooklyn lawmaker step up his Photoshop game after an editing snafu on Instagram earlier this month set the internet ablaze. Jeffries' office put out a posting Tuesday for a 'dynamic and highly skilled' digital manager who has expertise in Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects and more. 'The Digital Manager will be primarily responsible for transforming the Leader's on-camera content into compelling, high-impact video, audio and visual content for online platforms,' the posting said, noting that the ideal candidate 'understands the digital media landscape.' Jeffries' team also stressed that the new digital manager needs to have 'excellent judgment.' 3 The House Minority Leader went viral earlier this month after posting a photo to his Instagram that appeared to be terribly edited. @repjeffries/Instagram 3 Democrats have been scrambling to ramp up their digital media savviness. Getty Images Two weeks ago, the judgment of Jeffries' digital handlers was called into question after a post on his Instagram account showed a distorted photo of the congressman. The 54-year-old looked fly at first glance as he donned a pair of sunglasses — but the bench on which he casually rested was glaringly warped. Internet sleuths quickly uncovered other images on Jeffries' social media accounts of him posing in settings where the backgrounds looked suspiciously distorted. Even progressives like journalist Ken Klippenstein joined the pile-on. 'Hakeem Jeffries is such a charisma black hole that it's warping the fabric of spacetime,' Klippenstein wrote on X July 7. GOP operatives also hammered Jeffries for the faux pas. 'Hakeem Jeffries slimming himself in Photoshop is the most transparency we've seen from Democrats in years,' Republican communicator Erin Maguire chided at the time. The Post contacted a Jeffries spokesperson for clarification about whether the digital manager job posting was related to this month's mockery. 'Guess it takes a full-time editor to keep up with a full-time embarrassment,' National Republican Congressional Committee spokesperson Mike Marinella needled about the recruitment effort. 3 Netizens also pointed to other instances in which Hakeem Jeffries appeared to have Photoshopped images on his social media. X/juliegraceb The digital manager is also required to study engagement metrics across social media platforms, clip videos for Jeffries and engage with his allies on the internet, according to the job description. Candidates are expected to have at least three years of experience.
