Luca Guadagnino’s 'Artificial' Gets Major New York Film Festival Premiere
Andrew Garfield stars as Sam Altman in a dramatization of OpenAI’s firing and rehiring saga, with a cast including Monica Barbaro and Yura Borisov.
- On October 5, director Luca Guadagnino's 'Artificial' will world premiere at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall as part of the 64th New York Film Festival, starring Andrew Garfield as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
- Neon acquired the film after Amazon MGM Studios dropped it in June, stating it would 'be better served if it were released by a different studio' following its $50 billion investment in OpenAI.
- Tracing the 'turbulent period surrounding Altman's controversial removal from OpenAI and his subsequent return,' the film features Monica Barbaro as Mira Murati, Yura Borisov as Ilya Sutskever, and Ike Barinholtz as Elon Musk.
- Following the New York premiere, the drama will receive a Gala screening at the BFI London Film Festival on October 11, having become one of the season's 'buzziest films' after its studio transition.
- Neon plans to release the film later this year to qualify for the Oscar race, while the 2026 festival lineup also features James Gray's 'Paper Tiger', Ava DuVernay's '14th', and Tony Gilroy's 'Behemoth!'.
