Chris O'Dowd has joined the ensemble cast of Artificial, the new film about artificial intelligence company OpenAI from director Luca Guadagnino (Challengers, Call Me by Your Name).
US entertainment trade publication The Hollywood Reporter says the cast of Artificial also includes Andrew Garfield (The Social Network), Monica Barbaro (A Complete Unknown), Ike Barinholtz (The Studio), Yura Borisov (Anora), Cooper Hoffman (Licorice Pizza), Cooper Koch (Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story), Billie Lourd (American Horror Story), Zosia Mamet (Girls), and Jason Schwartzman (Fargo).
It says the film is "described as a comedic drama, although it is a dramatized recounting of the tumultuous period at OpenAI in 2023 that saw CEO Sam Altman fired and rehired in a matter of days".
Garfield will play Altman. No details of O'Dowd's character have been released.
Filming is under way on Artificial.
O'Dowd was most recently seen in the series Small Town, Big Story, which he also created and directed, and the Black Mirror episode Common People.
