The first teaser trailer for Luca Guadagnino's biopic Artificial has been released, marking the transition of the film from Amazon MGM Studios to Neon. The drama, starring Andrew Garfield as OpenAI tech executive Sam Altman, follows Altman's descent into a luxurious mansion before entering a basement filled with machine guns. In the trailer, Altman ominously declares, "The future's inevitable," with electronic music playing in the background.
Altman's statement reflects his belief that countries will fall, industries will collapse, and humanity will be guided through this new world.
Amazon's decision to drop the film in June led to Neon acquiring Artificial, securing its place in the awards season slate. The biopic chronicles the tumultuous period of Altman's abrupt firing and reinstatement as OpenAI's CEO due to a disagreement over who should control the technology. Other prominent actors joining the ensemble include Yura Borisov, Ike Barinholtz, Monica Barbaro, and Cooper Hoffman.
