For those who can\u2019t get enough of the\u00a0Elon Musk-Sam Altman\u00a0feud, rest assured, the drama will continue long after the explosive trial starring the two tech tycoons wraps later this month.<\/p>\n
Amazon MGM is about to date its\u00a0Luca Guadagnino-helmed film \u201cArtificial,\u201d which features\u00a0Andrew Garfield\u00a0as Altman and\u00a0Ike Barinholtz\u00a0as Musk. Sources tell Page Six Hollywood that the studio is aiming for an early 2027 release because it didn\u2019t want the film to go up against \u201cThe Social Network\u201d sequel given that the two films share similar themes of cutthroat tech billionaires. Sony has already carved out a fall bow for \u201cThe Social Reckoning,\u201d with\u00a0Jeremy Strong\u00a0as\u00a0Mark Zuckerberg. The\u00a0Aaron Sorkin\u00a0film will hit theaters on Oct. 9.<\/p>\n

No one outside of Amazon MGM has yet seen \u201cArtificial\u201d including Altman. And it could get uncomfortable when he eventually does.<\/p>\n
One source familiar with the project says Altman\u2019s character in \u201cArtificial\u201d apparently doesn\u2019t come off as particularly sympathetic. Nor does Musk. Adding to the awkwardness, Altman and Amazon founder and executive chair\u00a0Jeff Bezos\u00a0are friends. Furthermore, Altman\u2019s OpenAI and Amazon are now deep in business together. The companies recently announced a strategic partnership that will see Amazon invest $15 billion in OpenAI immediately, \u201cfollowed by another $35 billion in the coming months when certain conditions are met,\u201d according to the AI giant\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
Sources say the star and hero of \u201cArtificial\u201d is neither Garfield nor Barinholtz and is instead\u00a0Yura Borisov, the Russian actor nominated for a supporting actor Oscar in 2025 for playing \u201cAnora\u201d henchman Igor. Borisov plays real-life OpenAI co-founder\u00a0Ilya Sutskever, who \u201cgot most screwed,\u201d says a source familiar with the shooting script.<\/p>\n
Last year, Puck got its hands on\u00a0Simon Rich\u2019s \u201ctop secret\u201d script and reported that Warner Bros. and Paramount passed on it because it was \u201cdull.\u201d But sources deny that Rich\u2019s script was ever shopped, and say Amazon bought it as a pitch before a script existed. And, as is typical with a Guadagnino film, the script changed significantly once the director began working on it.<\/p>\n
