In a move that blends cinema with cutting-edge artificial intelligence, Luca Guadagnino will direct a major feature film about OpenAI. The acclaimed director behind Call Me by Your Name and Bones and All will now bring the birth of the AI revolution to the big screen with OpenAI Movie.
Guadagnino teams up with top Hollywood minds to tell the gripping story of how a group of ambitious scientists and entrepreneurs created one of the most transformative technologies of the 21st century.
Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment will co-produce the film, which explores OpenAI’s early days, explosive growth, and the ethical dilemmas surrounding artificial intelligence. The story draws inspiration from The New Yorker article “The Algorithm” by Ted Chiang, a respected science-fiction writer whose work often explores the philosophical edges of technology.
Sources confirm that the film will follow key moments in OpenAI’s timeline, including the development of ChatGPT, tensions around commercialization, and the quest to align AI with human values. Writers promise a script packed with real-world drama and moral complexity.
The casting process has already started. Hollywood insiders speculate that A-list talent may line up for roles that will portray real-world figures like Sam Altman and Elon Musk, both of whom played pivotal roles in OpenAI’s early trajectory.
Guadagnino expressed his excitement in a statement, saying, “The story of OpenAI is more than tech—it’s about the future of humanity.”
Film analysts believe this project could spark a new wave of AI-centered storytelling, much like The Social Network did for Facebook in the 2010s. Streaming platforms and studios are watching closely, knowing that tech-themed biopics are back in demand.
This project also arrives amid ongoing debates about AI safety, regulation, and the future of creative industries. Hollywood itself faces disruptions from AI tools that can generate scripts, edit films, and even replicate voices. The irony is not lost on industry observers.
OpenAI has started preparations to buy Google Chrome. This move could change the balance in the technology industry.
With Guadagnino’s cinematic eye and AI’s real-world impact, this film could be one of the defining stories of our generation. Production will begin in 2025, with a potential release window set for late 2026 or early 2027.
This is not just a film—it’s a mirror to our time.
