Amazon MGM drops Sam Altman film
Director Luca Guadagnino's project starring Andrew Garfield about the 2023 OpenAI crisis will not move forward at the studio.
Amazon MGM Studios has decided to cancel the production of Artificial, a biographical feature film about OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The film had been in development for about a year and was set to be directed by Luca Guadagnino, with Andrew Garfield in the lead role. The cast would also have featured Monica Barbaro.
The plot would focus on the five-day period in November 2023 marked by Altman's abrupt firing from OpenAI and his swift reinstatement. The episode represented one of the most unstable corporate governance crises in the tech sector's recent history.
According to The Verge, the studio's decision to shelve the project comes after approximately twelve months of early work. The specific reasons for the cancellation have not been publicly disclosed.
The halt in film production comes at a time of intense media exposure for OpenAI and its executives. The artificial intelligence market remains under heavy scrutiny from global regulators and investors, while the company consolidates its commercial position in the industry.
