Following a surprise departure from Amazon MGM Studios, the highly anticipated film "Artificial," directed by Luca Guadagnino and centered around Sam Altman and OpenAI, has found a new home with indie distributor Neon. The acquisition took place after a competitive bidding process, with Neon set to release the movie later this year, aiming for contention in the 2023 Oscar race. Starring Andrew Garfield as Altman, the film chronicles the events leading up to his 2023 dismissal and reinstatement as OpenAI's CEO. The cast also includes Monica Barbaro, Yura Borisov, Academy Award winner Mark Rylance, and Ike Barinholtz portraying Elon Musk. Amazon initially dropped the nearly complete $40 million production earlier this month, citing its potential for a better fit with another studio. The film's production comes after Amazon announced a significant $50 billion investment in OpenAI in recent months. Neon, renowned for distributing award-winning films such as "Parasite" and "Anomalisa," has demonstrated an impressive track record in the awards season. The studio declined to disclose the purchase price for worldwide rights to "Artificial." This acquisition underscores Neon's dedication to collaborating with visionary filmmakers and bringing thought-provoking cinema to audiences globally.
