Guadagnino’s 'Artificial' Casts Altman as a Bond Villain in a Timely AI Cautionary Tale

Luca Guadagnino’s new film, Artificial, offers a scathing, satirical look at the origins of OpenAI and the rise of Sam Altman. Starring Andrew Garfield as a manipulative Altman and Yura Borisov as the idealistic Ilya Sutskever, the movie chronicles the company’s shift from ethical ideals to commercial recklessness. Premiering at the New York Film Festival, the film was dropped by Amazon MGM due to a conflict of interest with OpenAI and is now being released by Neon. Critics praise its timely commentary on AI safety and its sharp performances, though some note the Altman character is underwritten compared to the film’s central focus on Sutskever’s moral struggle.

Despite a marketing pivot that emphasized the Robin Hood connection, the movie underperformed at the box office, opening to just $3.25 million in North America. Physical releases on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD are scheduled for November 3, featuring deleted scenes and production featurettes.

Box Office Bomb After Robin Hood Pivot: The Uprising Fails to Deliver

Focus Features’ The Uprising opened to just $3.25 million from 2,068 North American theaters after a marketing pivot that framed it as a Robin Hood origin story. The $20 million historical drama, starring Andrew Garfield, carried hefty promotional costs (about $11 million for domestic rights plus marketing). With a B- CinemaScore and weak debut, early word-of-mouth looks poor, signaling a likely loss for Focus despite the campaign’s Robin Hood tie-in and the movie’s setup for a potential sequel.
