Something feels off from the very first note of the trailer's score. Under a deeply unsettling soundtrack, Andrew Garfield delivers his Sam Altman impression in a deliberately stiff, almost robotic tone, rattling off AI's supposed benefits while calling it a "Pandora's box," dropping lines like "nations will collapse" and "industries are about to fall." This is not how your typical biopic opens.
The film, titled "Artificial," is directed by Luca Guadagnino — the filmmaker behind "Call Me by Your Name," "Challengers," and the "Suspiria" remake — with Garfield playing OpenAI CEO Altman. In the trailer, he walks through what looks like a bunker-like room stacked with weapons while declaring "the future is now inevitable"; later scenes show what appears to be a celebration of success, followed immediately by him screaming into the void. The whole thing plays out more like a thriller than anything resembling a traditional biopic.
