A Movie About Sam Altman's Career Ups and Downs Is in the Works

Amazon MGM is creating a biopic exploring the tumultuous events surrounding OpenAI's Sam Altman, focusing on his firing and subsequent rehiring.

The biopic genre about big tech continues to evolve, with Amazon MGM Studios set to develop a film that chronicles the dramatic rise and fall of Sam Altman at OpenAI. Known for his controversial firing in late 2023, Altman’s journey captures interest, especially with a screenplay penned by Simon Rich and potential direction from Luca Guadagnino. While shooting locations are discussed, including sites in San Francisco and Italy, fans eagerly anticipate who will portray Altman, with names like Andrew Garfield, Monica Barbaro, and Yura Borisov floating in the casting conversation.

In November 2023, Altman was abruptly ousted from OpenAI, with the board stating they no longer had confidence in his leadership. His return followed internal pressure, particularly from Microsoft, culminating in a remarkable comeback.

It will be fascinating to see how the film interprets these intricate events, raising questions about both responsibility and vision as they pertain to AI’s future.
