Neon Acquires Sam Altman Biopic 'Artificial' After Amazon MGM Exits
The biopic 'Artificial,' directed by Luca Guadagnino and starring Andrew Garfield as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, was dropped by Amazon MGM Studios despite being nearly complete. Amazon's exit followed its significant partnership and investment in OpenAI. Indie distributor Neon acquired the film after a bidding process and plans to release it later this year, aiming for awards season. The film depicts Altman's brief dismissal and reinstatement and features a notable cast including Ike Barinholtz and Mark Rylance.
