Amazon drops its OpenAI drama film after signing a $50 billion deal with Sam Altman's company

Amazon MGM Studios has canceled the production of Artificial, a near-complete biographical film starring Andrew Garfield as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The project, which depicted Altman’s brief 2023 ouster and subsequent return to the company, was reportedly dropped following a $50 billion partnership deal between Amazon and OpenAI. Sources indicate the film featured critical portrayals of key industry figures, raising concerns about corporate alignment following the recent financial agreement between the two entities.
