Luca Guadagnino’s Nearly Finished Sam Altman Movie ‘Artificial’ Dropped by Amazon After OpenAI Partnership

https://variety.com/2026/film/global/luca-guadagnino-sam-altman-movie-artificial-dropped-amazon-1236785830/

The film, starring Andrew Garfield as the controversial OpenAI CEO, will be shopped to other studios. The move notably comes after Amazon struck a massive partnership with the tech company in February to expand OpenAI’s use of Amazon Web Services and develop custom AI models, which included a $50 billion investment on Amazon’s part.

One by one the tech bros are squeezing off sources of information.

All so they can establish the Nerd Reich.

I already know the story of this baby raping shit eater. I just want to see the end where he catches a Malcolm X to the face.

That's too bad. I won't be able to see it on Amazon, I will have to NOT see it somewhere else.

I mean, who wants to see the shitty biography of a sleazy tech bro?

You say that, but The Social Network won a bunch of Oscars.

Although with little overall effect. That rat bastard is richer and more powerful than ever.

I have no interest in Sam Altman, but my understanding here is that it was axed for being too critical of him.
