### The Plot & Cast of the OpenAI Drama
According to The Hollywood Reporter, director Luca Guadagnino (Call Me by Your Name, Challengers) is in talks to helm the project. The film is expected to feature Andrew Garfield as Sam Altman, Monica Barbaro as former CTO Mira Murati, and Yura Borisov as Ilya Sutskever, the OpenAI co-founder who pushed for Altman’s removal.

### A Mix of Drama & Comedy
The screenplay, written by Saturday Night Live alum Simon Rich, suggests the film will blend humor with the absurdity of the real-life corporate power struggle. The OpenAI saga—which saw Altman ousted in November 2023, only to be reinstated days later—has all the makings of a gripping tech industry drama.

### Why This Story Matters
The film will likely explore themes of leadership, corporate governance, and the rapid rise of AI. With AI tools like ChatGPT becoming increasingly mainstream, Artificial could resonate with audiences curious about the behind-the-scenes turmoil at one of the most influential AI companies in the world.

As details continue to emerge, the project is already generating buzz—both for its star-studded potential and the fascinating real-life events it will depict.
