What happened
Amazon MGM decided not to release the film Artificial, which stars Andrew Garfield and covers Sam Altman's five-day removal and reinstatement as OpenAI CEO in 2023. The studio said in a statement it believes the movie 'will be better served if it were released by a different studio' and is working to find it a new home.
Why it matters
The film had been in development for about a year with a notable cast including Monica Barbaro as OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, Ike Barinholtz as Elon Musk, and Yura Borisov as OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever. Amazon and OpenAI have close business ties, with Amazon announcing a $50 billion（約8兆円） investment in OpenAI in February, so the studio's withdrawal may signal concerns about the project's readiness or fit.
What to watch
The filmmaking team is now searching for a new distributor. No timeline or alternative studio has been announced yet.
