Artificial Official Teaser Trailer

Luca Guadagnino’s Artificial dramatizes Sam Altman’s 2023 firing and reinstatement at OpenAI. The teaser centers on Andrew Garfield’s Altman and previews internal tension and a power struggle around A

The teaser begins with Sam Altman, played by Andrew Garfield, arriving at a remote location in a luxury car. The footage cuts between him walking through the halls of OpenAI and the brief movements of various characters, while a voice explains the changes a newly developed self-learning AI could bring to society.

In the latter half, images lead into a weapons storage room inside the company’s premises. Scenes of characters confronting one another while pounding on a table are rapidly intercut with shots of objects being removed from boxes, placing the conflict within the organization that seeks to control the technology at the forefront rather than the process of developing it.

Artificial dramatizes the days in 2023 when Altman, then CEO of OpenAI, was removed by a board decision and later returned. The film is directed by Luca Guadagnino and stars Garfield alongside Monica Barbaro, Yura Borisov, Ike Barinholtz, and Mark Rylance. NEON plans to release the film in select U.S. theaters on December 25, 2026.
