Context, from THR:
Luca Guadagnino to Direct True-Life OpenAI Movie ‘Artificial’ for Amazon MGM
Guadagnino is in talks to direct Artificial, a recounting of the tumultuous period at artificial intelligence company OpenAI in 2023 that saw CEO Sam Altman fired and rehired in a matter of days...
How fast is this moving? Sources say Amazon is looking to get production going this summer, with an eye to shoot in San Francisco and Italy....
Actors are being lined up, although no deals are made and much is contingent on Guadagnino’s deal being closed. Andrew Garfield, A Complete Unknown scene-stealer Monica Barbaro, and Anora actor Yura Borisov are among those said to be circling.
Resolves YES if a movie about OpenAI directed by Luca Guadagnino has begun filming by EOY, according to a consensus of credible reporting. Resolves NO in the absence of such reporting.
