Andrew Garfield plots the fall of countries in the Artificial teaser
Luca Guadagnino's big screen portrait of Sam Altman and ChatGPT opens this Christmas.
The fall movie season has been challenging for tech conglomerates, with Alex Gibney's Musk receiving a Venice Film Festival premiere followed by Andrew Garfield's Artificial teaser trailer. The trailer showcases Garfield's portrayal of OpenAI founder Sam Altman arriving at an isolated compound, surrounded by luxury and automatic weaponry.
Offscreen voices describe the company's self-teaching AI as a solution to the world's problems, while Garfield's character ominously states that "countries will fall" and "industries are gonna collapse." The film, directed by Luca Guadagnino, has faced controversy due to a proposed Amazon MGM distribution deal that was abandoned just days after Amazon made a $50 billion investment in Altman's OpenAI.
Reports about Artificial have been mixed, with some insiders hinting at conspiracies involving the powerful individuals depicted in the film, while others claim the movie failed to impress prospective distributors. Neon ultimately secured the rights for a December release.
