We believe that\u00a0Artificial\u00a0will 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<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tWhile Amazon didn\u2019t get into further detail as to the motivations behind its move with Artificial, it\u2019s been widely noted that Amazon announced a $50 billion investment in OpenAI earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tWe heard that the film was tested by <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/amazon-mgm-studios\/\" id=\"auto-tag_amazon-mgm-studios\" data-tag=\"amazon-mgm-studios\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon MGM Studios<\/a>, and the audience reaction was good. The studio remains in business with Guadagnino despite unloading Artificial; the Oscar-nominated filmmaker having had four projects there including Suspiria, Bones and All (during the pre MGM acquisition days), Challengers and After the Hunt. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tDirected by Guadagnino from a script by Simon Rich,\u00a0Artificial\u00a0explores the turbulent period in 2023 when Altman was fired and rehired as OpenAI\u2019s in a matter of days. Andrew Garfield stars as Altman, leading a cast that also includes Mark Rylance, Andrew Garfield, Yura Borisov, Monica Barbaro, Billie Lourd, Jason Schwartzman, Cooper Koch, Cooper Hoffman and Ike Barinholtz. The project came together following Guadagnino\u2019s work with Amazon on the films\u00a0Challengers\u00a0and\u00a0After the Hunt.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tReps for Neon declined to comment.
