Luca Guadagnino\u2018s upcoming film \u201cArtificial\u201d<\/a> will be shopped around to other studios after being dropped by Amazon MGM as distributor, according to multiple media reports.<\/p>\n

The movie in post-production stars Andrew Garfield as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and has reportedly already done some test screenings. The news notably comes four months after Amazon invested $50 billion in the artificial intelligence company.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the utmost respect and admiration for Luca Guadagnino as an award-winning filmmaker \u2014 not to mention a longstanding relationship that we hope to continue,\u201d an Amazon spokesperson said in a Friday statement. \u201cWe believe that \u2018Artificial\u2019 will be better served if it were released by a different studio and are working closely with the filmmaking team to find the film a new home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Written by Simon Rich, \u201cArtificial\u201d is a comedic drama set in the world of AI. The cast also includes Monica Barbaro, Yura Borisov, Cooper Hoffman, Jason Schwartzman, Cooper Koch, Billie Lourd, Zosia Mamet, Angus Imrie, Chris O\u2019Dowd, Mark Rylance and Ike Barinholtz as Elon Musk.<\/p>\n

Guadagnino and Rich will also produce, alongside David Heyman, Jeffrey Clifford and Jennifer Fox with Heyday Films and JF Films.<\/p>\n

This would have been Amazon MGM\u2019s third collaboration with the director, following \u201cAfter the Hunt\u201d and \u201cChallengers.\u201d<\/p>\n

TheWrap has reached out to Amazon and Guadagnino for further comment.<\/p>\n
