- Amazon MGM has ceased its partnership with director Luca Guadagnino on his forthcoming Sam Altman biopic, Artificial.
- The film, which stars Andrew Garfield as the OpenAI founder and is nearly completed, is now seeking a new distributor.
- The studio's decision follows its expanded multi-billion-dollar deal with OpenAI, announced in February, for cloud services and investment.
- Amazon stated that Artificial would be "better served" by a different studio and is assisting the filmmaking team in finding a new home.
- Reports suggest the film, which chronicles Altman's brief ousting and rehiring as OpenAI CEO, had positive screen tests, but its portrayals of Altman and Elon Musk might be disliked by audiences.
