Artificial Premieres at NYFF, Neon Sets OpenAI Drama for Dec. 25 Release

Summary
Christmas Day is now the release target for Artificial after the OpenAI origin film made its world premiere Monday at the New York Film Festival.
Neon picked up the roughly $40 million Luca Guadagnino film after Amazon MGM stepped back and other distributors passed, turning a project that had planned to skip festivals into an NYFF world premiere.
Andrew Garfield stars as Sam Altman and Yura Borisov as Ilya Sutskever in a 2-hour-20-minute drama tracing OpenAI from Sutskever's early work through ChatGPT's rise and Altman's firing and return.
The premiere lands as AI safety warnings intensify, with recent testimony predicting catastrophic risks by 2030 and Altman himself saying the world should accept some harms for the technology's benefits.
