Andrew Garfield 饰演 Sam Altman：《Artificial》伦敦电影节首映
伦敦10月11日（周日）——据Reuters报道，由卢卡·瓜达尼诺（Luca Guadagnino）执导、安德鲁·加菲尔德（Andrew Garfield）主演的 OpenAI 题材电影《Artificial》，于周日在第70届伦敦电影节举行全球首映。加菲尔德在片中饰演 OpenAI 首席执行官萨姆·奥特曼（Sam Altman）。
影片时间跨度长达二十年，讲述这家 ChatGPT 背后的人工智能公司的创立与成长，以及奥特曼在2023年戏剧性地被解雇、又在不到一周内迅速复职的风波。加菲尔德表示，驱使他接演的是“纯粹的好奇与恐惧”：“我想尽可能深入地理解那些把我们带入世界下一个阶段的人。”他还说：“这些站在公司顶端的人必须具备勇气、想象力和韧性，能承受如此多的批评和显微镜般的审视。重要的是我们要知道谁在掌权、谁在创造我们的新世界。”
值得一提的是，加菲尔德为准备角色并未联系或会见奥特曼本人。“我不认识萨姆，我对一个和我年纪相仿、却有一部关于他的电影正在拍摄的人怀有很大的同情，”加菲尔德说，“这不是他本人，而是关于这个故事、以及他在其中角色的一种想象。”据报道，OpenAI 未回应 Reuters 的置评请求。奥特曼在接受《名利场》采访时曾表示，他并不期待这部电影能“准确描绘”自己。
演员阵容还包括：俄罗斯奥斯卡提名演员尤拉·鲍里索夫（Yura Borisov）饰演 OpenAI 联合创始人、前首席科学家伊利亚·苏茨克维（Ilya Sutskever）——他因参与奥特曼短暂下台事件后离开公司；马克·里朗斯（Mark Rylance）饰演有“AI教父”之称的杰弗里·辛顿（Geoffrey Hinton），苏茨克维曾师从于他；莫妮卡·巴巴罗（Monica Barbaro）饰演 OpenAI 前首席技术官米拉·穆拉蒂（Mira Murati）。影片聚焦奥特曼与苏茨克维在 AI 安全问题上的理念分歧与冲突。剧本由艾美奖得主、《周六夜现场》编剧西蒙·里奇（Simon Rich）执笔。
首映式以 gala 放映形式在伦敦皇家节日音乐厅（Royal Festival Hall）举行。加菲尔德与现实中的伴侣、同样参演本片的巴巴罗一同走上红毯——两人自2025年2月传出恋情后鲜少公开露面，此前仅在温网等场合被拍到同框。导演瓜达尼诺携鲍里索夫、艾克·拜伦霍兹（Ike Barinholtz）、里朗斯以及制片人大卫·海曼（David Heyman）、詹妮弗·福克斯（Jennifer Fox）、编剧里奇一同亮相。
现年43岁的加菲尔德曾在2010年大卫·芬奇执导的 Facebook 起源电影《社交网络》中饰演爱德华多·萨维林，此次是他第二次出演科技圈传记题材。
背景：2023年11月，OpenAI 董事会突然宣布解雇奥特曼，引发硅谷轩然大波；在员工与投资人强烈反弹下，奥特曼不到一周即复职，董事会也随之改组。这一事件被视为 AI 商业化速度与安全理念冲突的标志性时刻，也是近年来硅谷最受关注的权力斗争之一。

Andrew Garfield Plays Sam Altman in 'Artificial,' Which Premieres at London Film Festival
LONDON — Curiosity and fear powered actor Andrew Garfield's performance in Luca Guadagnino's OpenAI movie "Artificial," which premiered at the London Film Festival on Sunday, according to Reuters.
Garfield plays OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in the film, which unfolds over two decades and chronicles the conception and growth of the artificial intelligence company behind ChatGPT, and Altman's dramatic firing and rehiring in 2023. "I think the reason I was drawn to it was just pure curiosity and fear and really trying to understand as deeply as possible the people who are ushering us into this next phase of the world," Garfield said. "There's a sense of courage and imagination and resilience these people at the top of these companies must have, the ability to withstand so much criticism and such a microscopic lens on them as people. And it's important that we do that because we need to know who's in power and who's creating our new world."
Garfield, who also starred in 2010's Facebook origin film "The Social Network," did not contact or meet with Altman in preparation for the role. "I don't know Sam and I have a lot of compassion for a person who's my age, almost, and there's a movie being made about him," Garfield said. "It's not him, but it's an idea of what this story is and his part in it." OpenAI did not respond to a Reuters request for comment. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Altman said he was not expecting an "accurate depiction."
With a screenplay by Emmy-winning "Saturday Night Live" writer Simon Rich, "Artificial" stars Russian Oscar nominee Yura Borisov as OpenAI co-founder and former chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, who left the company after his involvement in Altman's brief ouster. It follows the ethical differences and conflict over AI safety between Altman and Sutskever, who trained under Geoffrey Hinton — known as the "Godfather of AI" and portrayed in the film by Mark Rylance. Monica Barbaro plays former OpenAI chief technology officer Mira Murati.
The gala screening took place at the Royal Festival Hall during the 70th BFI London Film Festival. Garfield walked the red carpet with Barbaro, his real-life partner, in a rare joint public appearance; the couple has been linked since February 2025. Guadagnino was joined by Borisov, Ike Barinholtz and Rylance, as well as producers David Heyman and Jennifer Fox and screenwriter Rich.
In November 2023, OpenAI's board abruptly fired Altman, setting off an uproar across Silicon Valley; amid fierce backlash from employees and investors, Altman was reinstated within days and the board was restructured — an episode widely seen as emblematic of the clash between AI commercialization and AI safety.
