Amazon MGM Drops Sam Altman Film

The film Artificial, which was set to star Andrew Garfield as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, has been dropped by Amazon MGM. The movie was in production for about a year and covered the events surrounding Altman's termination and subsequent reinstatement as CEO in 2023. The film's cast also included Monica, an actress known for her role in A Complete Unknown. According to reports, the project is no longer moving forward. The film's director, Luca Guadagnino, had been working on the project, which aimed to capture the intense five days in 2023 that saw Altman's removal and return as CEO of OpenAI. The news of the film's cancellation comes as a surprise, given the interest in Altman's story and the involvement of prominent actors and directors.
