Garfield stars as Altman amidst the pressure of the AI arms race, with Ike Barinholtz as co-founder Elon Musk.

After originally planning to release “Artificial” worldwide, Amazon MGM notably dropped the project earlier this year (notably, after it signed a major partnership with OpenAI and invested $50 billion into the company). Explaining the decision, Amazon MGM Studios said it would “be better served if it were released by a different studio.” After Netflix, A24 and Focus passed on the project, Neon signed on to distribute “Artificial” in June 2026.
