In a fresh turn of events, Andrew Garfield has made his way back onto screens within the tech realm. This time around, he assumes the role of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in the upcoming comedic drama titled Artificial, helmed by director Luca Guadagnino. Footage from the San Francisco set is creating a buzz online, depicting Garfield fully immersed as a “tech-bro” character, filming scenes outside Altman’s real-life residence.
Spectators swiftly noticed his leisurely, deliberate stride, with hands tucked into his coat pockets, which several people likened to the flawless imitation of Sam Altman. One Reddit user posted backstage videos and labeled it, “Andrew Garfield mastered the Sam Altman walk!” Another commented, “I managed to grab some shots from the OpenAI film on Lombard Street,” hinting at the filming location.
Filming took place outside Sam Altman’s real house
One intriguing detail that’s generating a lot of discussion? The movie was shot directly outside Altman’s actual home. As one user put it, “It’s funny they’re filming in front of his house…lol.” Another commented, “I asked the crew if he knew and they essentially said ‘he does now’ lol.
TMZ and numerous ex-Twitter users shared a clip where Andrew Garfield could be seen on a call, donning grey trousers and a jacket, outside the well-known San Francisco building.
Here’s why fans are calling it a ‘Social Network pipeline’
In Artificial, Andrew Garfield’s portrayal sparked memories among fans of his role as Eduardo Saverin in The Social Network. A user on platform X humorously commented, “If Andrew Garfield plays you in a movie about your life, it’s a given that your success and your company will skyrocket, just like in The Social Network.
Audience members have noted the resemblances between these two movies, as they both revolve around true-life tech magnates, corporate intrigue, and swift changes in authority. A line from “The Social Network,” delivered by Garfield with dramatic flair, “I’m returning for everything,” has resurfaced on the internet once more.
What is ‘Artificial’ about?
From my perspective, a captivating comedic drama unfolds under the title “Artificial,” drawing inspiration from true events at OpenAI. The narrative centers around the turbulent 2023 period when Sam Altman faced an unexpected dismissal and subsequent reinstatement. In this production, Monica Barbaro takes on the role of Mira Murati, while Ike Barinholtz brings Elon Musk to life on screen. Yura Borisov has been cast as Ilya Sutskever.
The film is currently being filmed throughout San Francisco, featuring spots such as Dolores Park, the Marina District, and a popular eatery in the Bay Area. With Amazon MGM Studios providing the funds, the movie boasts an estimated budget of $40 million and is slated for release in 2026.
