There's going to be a biopic of physicist/mathematician Stanisław Ulam, titled Adventures of a Mathematician.
Hollywood seems to be working its way through 20th century mathematicians – off the top of my head, there have recently been biopics of John Nash, Alan Turing, Stephen Hawking and Srinivasa Ramanujan. What I want to know is, when do we get Michael Sheen playing John Horton Conway?
There's some information about Adventures of a Mathematician, starring Jakub Gierszal as Ulam, at ScreenDaily.

John Conway needs to play himself, but if not, maybe Jim Carrey could handle it ;)
You don’t notice who’s missing in your list? Hint: someone not the same gender as you.
You’re right. Have there been any biopics about 20th century female mathematicians apart from Hidden Figures? I really must get round to watching that.
There is a very moving documentary “Julia Robinson and Hilbert’s Tenth Problem” (2007) by George Czicsery.
