MUBI is said to be still pursuing the film, and Neon is also possibly circling.<\/p>\n<p>The film follows the meteoric rise of OpenAI \u2013 the company behind ChatGPT \u2013 along with the personal rivalries, ego clashes, and ethical tensions behind the scenes.<\/p>\n<p>The cast includes Andrew Garfield as current CEO Sam Altman, Yura Borisov as machine learning engineer Ilya Sutskever, Ike Barinholtz as Elon Musk along with Monica Barbaro, Cooper Hoffman, Jason Schwartzman and Mark Rylance.  The film is presently in the final stages of post-production.<\/p>\n<p>Costing $40 million to produce, Guadagnino\u2019s film has been screened for potential distributors in the last couple days to try and find a new home in the wake of the Amazon exit.  Amazon\u2019s decision follows just months after the company announced a $50 billion investment in OpenAI.<\/p>\n<p>Reports have suggested that the film is \u201csignificantly darker\u201d than previously anticipated, and the trade indicates it is rumored to portray both Altman and Musk in a not particularly flattering way.  Simon Rich (\u201cAn American Pickle,\u201d FXX\u2019s \u201cMan Seeking Woman\u201d) penned the screenplay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A24 Following its being unexpectedly dumped by Amazon MGM Studios on Friday, it appears several potential buyers of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":752542,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[112110,49,48,75,337],"class_list":["post-752541","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-bigslider","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/752541","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=752541"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/752541\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/752542"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=752541"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=752541"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=752541"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
