Amazon MGM Studios has terminated its involvement with the nearly completed film 'Artificial,' directed by Luca Guadagnino, which portrays the 2023 leadership turmoil at OpenAI. The film features Andrew Garfield as Sam Altman, who was briefly ousted and later reinstated as OpenAI's CEO. Amazon's decision follows its announcement of a significant $50 billion partnership with OpenAI, including a substantial investment in the AI company and expanded use of Amazon Web Services. Amazon stated it respects Guadagnino but believes another studio would be better suited to release the film. The movie, set in San Francisco and Italy, includes notable actors such as Monica Barbaro, Yura Borisov, and Ike Barinholtz, and was previously shown in test screenings. It marks the third collaboration between Guadagnino and Amazon MGM.
