What Happened
Netflix and Focus Features have decided not to move forward with Luca Guadagnino's film "Artificial," which centers on Sam Altman. This decision comes after Amazon MGM Studios previously dropped the project.
Amazon MGM Studios' decision to drop the film was reportedly linked to a strategic partnership with OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company co-founded by Sam Altman. The exact reasons for the subsequent passes by Netflix and Focus Features are not detailed, but the project's association with both Altman and OpenAI appears to be a significant factor.
The film, directed by Luca Guadagnino, was set to explore the life of Sam Altman, a prominent figure in the tech industry. The project has seen several potential distributors pass on it, with Mubi reportedly circling the film at one point.
