Introduction to a New Project
Luca Guadagnino is set to be involved in conversations for a new project, Artificially, a comedic drama that explores the world of artificial intelligence for Amazon MGM Studios.
Background on the Director
Guadagnino was initially preparing to direct Sgt. Rocks for DC Studios, but the project was pushed back by a year before production could begin. This change in schedule has allowed him to consider other opportunities, including Artificially.
Details on Artificially
Reports suggest that Artificially will start production in 2023, a time that coincides with significant developments in the field of artificial intelligence, notably the firing and then rehiring of OpenAI’s founder, Sam Altman. The project has also been in talks with several stars, including Andrew Garfield, Monica Barbaro, and Yura Borisov from Aor, although these conversations are still in the early stages.
The Inspiration Behind the Project
The story is partly inspired by the real-life figure of Sam Altman, who has been described as the high priest of artificial intelligence. However, his leadership has also raised concerns among some observers who question whether the company is straying from its original mandate to use technology for the benefit of humanity.
Production Team
Amazon MGM Studios has confirmed that Guadagnino is in early talks for the project. The script for Artificially has been written by Simon Rich, who will also produce alongside David Heyman and Jeffrey Clifford from Flowering Films. Jennifer Fox is another key figure in conversations about the production, bringing her expertise to the table.
Previous Collaborations
This is not the first time Guadagnino has worked with Amazon MGM Studios. They previously collaborated on After the Hunt, starring Julia Roberts, Garfield, and Ayo Edebiri, and Challenger, featuring Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, and Mike Faist. These projects demonstrate the successful working relationship between Guadagnino and the studio.
Other Notable Projects
David Heyman is also involved in another high-profile project, the next James Bond film, which he is producing alongside Amy Pascal for Amazon MGM Studios. This underscores the studio’s commitment to producing a wide range of compelling stories for audiences worldwide.
