Neon Unveils Trailer for Guadagnino's OpenAI Drama Starring Garfield
Neon has released the first trailer for Luca Guadagnino's 'Artificial,' which stars Andrew Garfield as OpenAI founder Sam Altman. The film centers on the 2023 boardroom upheaval that saw Altman ousted and reinstated within days. The cast also includes Ike Barinholtz as Elon Musk and Monica Barbaro as Mira Murati.
The trailer's debut confirms a Christmas Day theatrical release for the project. The narrative focuses on the intense 2023 boardroom conflict that briefly removed Altman from his leadership role before his swift return.
Beyond the central duo, the ensemble features notable actors portraying key tech figures. Yura Borisov takes on the role of former chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, while Mark Rylance portrays AI researcher Geoffrey Hinton. Additional cast members include Jason Schwartzman, Zosia Mamet, and Billie Lourd.
The film could shape public perception of the AI industry's internal power dynamics. Audiences may gain a dramatized view of how corporate governance clashes with rapid technological advancement. The casting of recognizable stars might draw mainstream attention to the ethical and strategic debates surrounding AI development. This could influence how the general public views the leadership of major tech companies, potentially humanizing or scrutinizing the figures involved in these high-stakes decisions.
