Jason Schwartzman is the latest name to join the increasingly buzzy ensemble of Artificial, the AI-centric comedic drama directed by Luca Guadagnino for Amazon MGM Studios.

He has one full brother, Robert Schwartzman, also an actor‑musician, plus half‑siblings, including cinematographer John Schwartzman. Jason Schwartzman’s career.
More details on Artificial
Artificial, the latest project from Luca Guadagnino, is reportedly a scripted film rooted in the real-life events that unfolded at OpenAI in 2023, when CEO Sam Altman was abruptly fired and reinstated within days. Produced by Amazon, MGM Studios, and Heyday Films, the film will be a blend of satire and drama, with Simon Rich writing and producing alongside David Heyman, Jeffrey Clifford, and Jennifer Fox.
The ensemble cast is packed: Andrew Garfield is reportedly set to portray Altman. Yura Borisov is reportedly playing OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever. Ike Barinholtz is confirmed to play Elon Musk. Monica Barbaro and Cooper Hoffman are in talks, while Jason Schwartzman and Cooper Koch have officially joined the lineup. The script seems to be dramatizing a pivotal moment in AI history, making it both timely and cinematic.
Shooting is expected to begin in late 2025 across San Francisco and Italy. Tone-wise, the film is positioned as a sharp, stylish satire of big tech culture and the ethical tightropes walked by AI leadership. While the story tracks the OpenAI upheaval, official plot details remain locked.
Guadagnino’s recent streak with Challengers, Queer, and After the Hunt suggests Artificial could carry both visual polish and narrative bite. Instead of focusing on sci-fi tropes, it could zoom in on the people at the center of the AI debate, engineers, executives, and power players, capturing the mess behind the mission to “align” artificial intelligence.
