Actor Andrew Garfield addresses Amazon MGM Studios’ decision to drop Luca Guadagnino’s nearly finished film “Artificial,” which is reported to focus on OpenAI and Sam Altman. Speaking while promoting his new movie “The Magic Faraway Tree,” Garfield says he is “weighing” the studio’s choice and describes his reaction as both expected and not unexpected. Across the coverage, Garfield’s comments center on how projects can fit—or fail to fit—within the right context, without disputing the reported premise of the film.
Both outlets report that Amazon MGM’s decision comes amid the studio’s financial relationship with the tech company. While Garfield expresses a blunt viewpoint about the cancellation, the reports do not indicate he provides new details about creative disputes or the company’s internal reasoning. The information in these accounts focuses on Garfield’s personal response to Amazon MGM’s move and the broader visibility the actor brings to a high-profile project that is no longer moving forward.
