Directed by Luca Guadagnino, whose films include Challengers and Call Me by Your Name, Artificial follows OpenAI’s internal struggle over Altman’s brief dismissal and return as CEO in November 2023. Because the story confused him, the former Spider-Man actor said he had watched the interview several times. However, Garfield, who portrays Altman in the upcoming film, has now confirmed that he has never met or seen Altman in person.
The OpenAI CEO recently said that he unexpectedly encountered the actor filming Artificial outside his San Francisco home and that they exchanged waves. “I wasn’t there,” Garfield told GQ when asked about Altman’s account. Sam Altman ’s claim of meeting Andrew Garfield is being disputed by the Hollywood actor. Meanwhile, an OpenAI representative reaffirmed that Altman was home during filming and waved at Garfield. Originally developed at Amazon MGM Studios before moving to Neon, Artificial is scheduled to open in US theatres on Christmas Day.
