Title: The OpenAI Board Drama Is Turning Into a Movie

Link: https://entertainment.slashdot.org/story/25/0...

Luca Guadagnino is in talks to direct Artificial, a dramatization of Sam
Altman's dramatic firing and rehiring at OpenAI in 2023. The Amazon-MGM film
is rumored to star Andrew Garfield, 'A Complete Unknown' scene-stealer Monica
Barbaro, and 'Anora' actor Yura Borisov as lead roles in the story. From the
Hollywood Reporter: Heyday Films' David Heyman and Jeffrey Clifford are
producing the feature that is being put together at lightning speed at Amazon
MGM Studios. Simon Rich wrote the script and will also produce, with Jennifer
Fox also in talks to produce. How fast is this moving? Sources say Amazon is
looking to get production going this summer, with an eye to shoot in San
Francisco and Italy. Altman co-founded OpenAI, but in the fall of 2023, after
mounting safety concerns regarding AI, and reports of abusive behavior, was
ousted as the head of the company by his board. Five days later, after a
revolt, he was reinstated. Sources say that if all goes as planned, Garfield
would play Altman, Barbaro would play chief technology office Mira Murati,
and Borisov would play Ilya Sutskever, a co-founder who led the movement to
get rid of Altman.
