Andrew Garfield Is Sam Altman in 'Artificial' Teaser Trailer
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.
