    • Luca Guadagnino’s film about OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Artificial, has reportedly been dropped by Amazon MGM.

    The film, which stars Andrew Garfield and covers the rollercoaster five days in 2023 spanning Altman’s termination and reinstatement as CEO, had been in the works for about a year. The cast also includes A Complete Unknown actress Monica Barbaro as OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, Ike Barinholtz as Elon Musk, and Anora’s Yura Borisov as OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever.

    In a statement to Deadline, the studio said it believes the movie “will be better served if it were released by a different studio and is working closely with the filmmaking team to find the film a new home.” Puck first reported the studio’s decision not to release the film.

    Amazon and OpenAI also have close ties, with Amazon in February announcing a $50 billion investment in the AI lab.
