Artificial trailer features Andrew Garfield as Sam Altman
The first trailer for ‘Artificial’, a new film directed by Luca Guadagnino, has been released. The movie stars Andrew Garfield as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and dramatizes the internal power struggles at the company, specifically focusing on the events of 2023 when Altman was abruptly fired and subsequently reinstated within days.
Originally slated for release by Amazon MGM Studios, the project was dropped by the studio before being picked up by the distributor Neon. The film features a notable cast, including Yura Borisov as Ilya Sutskever, Monica Barbaro as Mira Murati, and Ike Barinholtz as Elon Musk.
‘Artificial’ is scheduled to premiere at the New York Film Festival in October 2026, followed by a limited theatrical release in the United States on Christmas Day, with a wider expansion planned for January 2027.
