Luca Guadagnino's Upcoming Movie About OpenAI to Feature Elon Musk Character
Luca Guadagnino‘s upcoming movie will possibly feature the character of Elon Musk.
The Call Me By Your Name director’s Artificial, set to star Andrew Garfield, centers around the company OpenAI.
And according to Matthew Belloni‘s insider description of the script, the richest man in the world may be featured as a character in the project.

The comedy movie focuses on Ilya Sutskever (to be played by Yura Borisov), the engineer who co-founded OpenAI.
The character “leveraged, marginalized, and ultimately betrayed by both his power-hungry friend [Sam] Altman and the larger Silicon Valley community — with potentially disastrous consequences for all of humanity,” per Puck.
Altman is the CEO of OpenAI, and is described based on the review of the script as “a liar and a master schemer.”
Elon Musk helped found OpenAI but later left, and while he is a “minor character” in this movie, Elon is “probably not gonna like this portrayal.”
Matthew shared one line of dialogue, in which Mira Murati (to be played by Monica Barbaro), former chief technology officer of Open AI, says, “Elon’s not so bad, as far as dictators go.”
“I’m honestly a little surprised that Amazon would make this movie,” Matthew‘s report reads. He also speculates that, if Artificial is successful, it could do the kind of damage to A.I. that The Social Network did to Facebook.
“So I suppose it’s surprising and applause-worthy that Amazon would make this Artificial movie,” he teased. “Even with the company’s vast resources and relative strength in the tech hierarchy, it’s still a risk to paint some of the most powerful people in the world as reckless with a technology that — if you believe their own words — is perhaps the most dangerous the world has ever seen. Especially when Amazon is playing that same dangerous game.”
Monica Barbaro recently spoke about getting to work with boyfriend Andrew Garfield in their upcoming movie.
