Amazon MGM announced in June it would drop Luca Guadagnino’s Sam Altman biopic “Artificial” from its release slate, despite the film being nearly finished, following Amazon’s $50 billion investment in OpenAI. Monica Barbaro, who stars in the film, told InStyle on Wednesday, “I don’t want to sound callous about it, but I wasn’t concerned,” adding, “I just trusted so much of the feedback I was getting about the movie, that it was really well liked, and I trust in Luca.” Barbaro spoke ahead of the Friday release of her new rom-com “One Night Only,” about a dystopian future where unmarried people are only legally allowed to have sex on a single designated night every year. In “Artificial,” she shares the screen with Andrew Garfield, her real-life partner who stars as Altman. She called him “one of the best actors of his generation, our generation,” and said, “I just learned a lot from his approach to the material and to developing character, and I felt very fortunate to get to witness that in real time.” “Artificial” has since been rescued by Neon, which plans to distribute it in 2026 and give it a full awards push. This will be Guadagnino’s first time working with Neon; he previously partnered with Amazon on “After the Hunt” and 2024’s “Challengers.” Neon has a solid track record at the Oscars
