Amazon Drops Sam Altman Movie After OpenAI Deal

 20/06/2026 2 Views


Amazon is walking away from Artificial, a nearly complete movie about Sam Altman, just months after striking a deal with ChatGPT company OpenAI.

The company chose to drop its involvement in the biopic following multiple private test screenings and confirmed the news in a statement sent to Puck. Directed by Challengers and Call Me by Your Name filmmaker Luca Guadagnino, the film stars Andrew Garfield (The Amazing Spider-Man) as the controversial OpenAI CEO, Ike Barinholtz (The Studio) as Elon Musk, Monica Barbaro (Top Gun: Maverick) as Mira Murati, and more.

The decision, made by Prime Video head Mike Hopkins, follows a deal made between Amazon and OpenAI in February of this year that saw the former commit to an investment of $50 billion. Now, the Jeff Bezos tech company says it’s working with the Artificial team to find it a new distributor.
