Amazon has abruptly shelved "Artificial," its high-profile film about Sam Altman's brief 2023 ouster as OpenAI CEO, pulling the nearly completed project from its release calendar and shopping it to rival studios instead. The studio confirmed the decision to media publication Puck late Thursday, with the move made by Mike Hopkins, who oversees Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios. Hopkins told director Luca Guadagnino (“Challengers,” “Call Me By Your Name”) and the producing team that Amazon would not move forward with the planned release.
