The first trailer for Luca Guadagnino's "Artificial" was released on Tuesday, featuring Andrew Garfield's portrayal of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. While the trailer went viral, Jack Altman, Sam Altman's brother and partner at venture capital firm Benchmark, expressed his disappointment. In an X post, he said, "Look, you all know I’d love nothing more than a feature length film making fun of my brother.
Unfortunately, based on the preview it looks like the only thing they got right is the walk." Other X users agreed, with Pirate Wires founder Mike Solana commenting that Garfield's take on Altman's walk was "actually uncanny." "Artificial" stars Garfield as Altman and Ike Barinholtz as OpenAI co-founder Elon Musk. The film was set to premiere at the 2026 New York Film Festival on October 5, but was picked up by Neon and will have a limited theatrical release on Christmas Day before a wider release in January 2027.
The teaser shows Garfield's Altman walking through an OpenAI compound that leads to a vault filled with dangerous weaponry, as Altman declares, "We opened Pandora's Box together. The future is inevitable … Countries will fall. Industries are gonna collapse, and we get to be the ones to shepherd people into this new world."
