Artificial,” a film directed by Luca Guadagnino about Sam Altman and OpenAI, has been picked up by the indie distributor Neon after being dropped by Amazon MGM Studios. The film, starring Andrew Garfield as Altman, was unexpectedly released by Amazon, despite their recent $50 billion investment in OpenAI. Neon plans to release the film this year and aims for it to compete in the Oscars. The movie depicts the events surrounding Altman’s firing and reinstatement as OpenAI’s CEO in 2023 and features actors like Monica Barbaro, Yura Borisov, and Mark Rylance. Neon, known for its success with award-winning films like “Parasite,” did not reveal the purchase price. This acquisition highlights Neon’s dedication to supporting innovative filmmakers and bringing unique films to global audiences.
