Andrew Garfield Is Sam Altman in 'Artificial' Teaser Trailer

Andrew Garfield stars as Sam Altman in a biopic that follows OpenAI’s 2023 leadership crisis and Neon’s rescue of the film after Amazon MGM dropped it.

  • On Monday, Neon released the teaser trailer for Artificial, a Luca Guadagnino-directed film starring Andrew Garfield as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The movie arrives in theaters on Christmas Day.
  • Amazon MGM Studios originally developed the project but dropped it in June following a $50 billion investment in OpenAI. The studio stated the film would "be better served if it were released by a different studio."
  • Written by Simon Rich, the biopic centers on the tumultuous five-day leadership crisis at OpenAI. The ensemble cast includes Yura Borisov as co-founder Ilya Sutskever, Monica Barbaro as Mira Murati, and Ike Barinholtz as Elon Musk.
  • In the trailer, Garfield narrates, "We opened Pandora's box together." His character suggests the future is inevitable, noting that "industries are gonna collapse" as he shepherds humanity into a new world.
  • Artificial premieres at the New York Film Festival on October 5, 2026, before its theatrical debut. The project is one of several high-profile films this fall examining powerful tech CEOs.
