Amazon has dropped its nearly finished Sam Altman film, four months after investing $50B in OpenAI

Amazon MGM Studios has decided to drop Artificial, a nearly finished film directed by Luca Guadagnino. The movie features Andrew Garfield as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and had tested well with early audiences. This decision comes four months after Amazon invested $50B in OpenAI. Reports from Variety and Deadline indicate that the film was being presented to other studios on the same day Amazon confirmed it would not release the project.
