A teaser trailer for Luca Guadagnino’s film “Artificial” has been released, offering a first look at Andrew Garfield as Sam Altman. The footage depicts Altman walking through a mansion or office setting and includes ominous dialogue such as warnings that “countries will fall” and industries will collapse.
The movie centers on Altman and a turbulent period at OpenAI. Multiple outlets describe the film as focusing on the CEO’s 2023 firing and subsequent rehiring, when leadership and direction at the company drew widespread attention. The teaser’s tone is widely characterized as unsettling, with the trailer emphasizing tension and high-stakes implications around the technology and its potential impact.
While the outlets generally agree on the cast, director, and subject matter, their coverage differs mainly in emphasis: some highlight the creepier, teaser-style mood, while others focus more directly on the OpenAI timeline and what the film is understood to cover. All accounts point to Neon as the distributor bringing the first-look footage to viewers.
