The filmmaker behind "Call Me By Your Name" and "Challengers" is diving into Silicon Valley's most chaotic corporate meltdown. Luca Guadagnino is set to direct "Artificial," a comedic drama that chronicles the wild five-day period when OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was fired and rehired in November 2023.

Amazon MGM Studios is fast-tracking the project, with Andrew Garfield reportedly circling the role of Altman, Monica Barbaro as former CTO Mira Murati, and Yura Borisov as co-founder Ilya Sutskever. The casting feels particularly fitting given Garfield's previous tech world experience in "The Social Network."

Saturday Night Live writer Simon Rich penned the screenplay, promising a comedic take on what many considered an absurd corporate power struggle. With David Heyman producing—the powerhouse behind "Harry Potter" and "Barbie"—this project has serious awards potential.

The timing couldn't be better. As AI dominates headlines and ChatGPT reshapes our daily lives, audiences are hungry for stories that demystify the tech titans behind these revolutionary tools. Guadagnino's knack for intimate character studies combined with this stranger-than-fiction corporate drama could deliver the definitive AI-era film.

Production begins this summer, with filming planned for San Francisco and Italy.
