OpenAI Movie 'Artificial' Finds New Home with Neon

The OpenAI movie 'Artificial' has found a new home with Neon, after Amazon MGM Studios dropped it. This film stars Andrew Garfield as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. It's set during the company's turbulent 2023, when Altman was fired and then rehired. Amazon pulled out of the production in June, reportedly after $40 million had already been spent. This decision came from Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios chief Mike Hopkins. This is interesting because Amazon announced a $50 billion investment in OpenAI just months earlier. Neon picked up 'Artificial' after other studios like A24, Focus Features, and Netflix passed on it. The cast also includes Ike Barinholtz as Elon Musk, Monica Barbaro as Mira Murati, and Yura Borisov as Ilya Sutskever. The bottom line is that despite a change in studios, this film, based on recent real-world events, is moving forward.
