Get Ready to Explore the World of Artificial Intelligence in “Artificial”

As reported by Deadline, the film Artificial will delve into a pivotal moment in the world of artificial intelligence at the renowned company OpenAI during the tumultuous year of 2023. This period was marked by the dramatic firing and subsequent rehiring of CEO Sam Altman within just a few days, highlighting the intense pressures and challenges faced in the tech industry. The screenplay is penned by Simon Rich, who is also set to produce the film alongside industry veterans David Heyman, Jeffrey Clifford, and Jennifer Fox.

The cast of Artificial is set to feature prominent actors such as Andrew Garfield, Monica Barbaro, and Yura Borisov, the latter gaining recognition for his remarkable performance in Sean Baker‘s critically acclaimed film, the 2024 Oscar-winning hit Anora. This talented ensemble promises to bring depth and nuance to the complex themes explored in the film.

While the casting agreements for this intriguing project have yet to be finalized, reports from Deadline indicate that Garfield, Barbaro, and Borisov are in active discussions to join the film. Despite the ongoing negotiations, the current plan is for production to commence within this year, generating excitement among fans and the industry alike.

Amidst the preparation for Sgt. Rock, which was originally slated to start filming later this year, Guadagnino quickly adapted to the shifting landscape of his projects when that film was delayed by a year. Following this setback, he explored various options before ultimately deciding on Artificial, showcasing his versatility and commitment to storytelling.
