Watch: Andrew Garfield Turns into Sam Altman As He Films For Artificial Outside Tech CEO's Real Life Home
Fans quickly picked up on his slow, calculated walk, hands tucked into his pockets, what many called the perfect Sam Altman impression. One Reddit user shared behind-the-scenes footage and captioned it, 'Andrew Garfield nailed the Sam Altman walk!' Another said, 'Got some shots of the OpenAI movie on Lombard,' confirming the shoot location.
Filming took place outside Sam Altman's real house
One of the biggest talking points? The fact that the movie scene was filmed right in front of Altman's real-life residence. 'What's more interesting is they're filming in front of his house…lol,' wrote one user. Someone else added, 'I asked some crew if he knew about it and they basically said 'he does now' lol.'
TMZ and several X (formerly Twitter) users also posted the moment, which shows Andrew Garfield on the phone, dressed in grey slacks and a blazer, standing in front of the recognizable San Francisco property.
Here's why fans are calling it a 'Social Network pipeline'
Garfield's role in Artificial instantly reminded fans of his performance as Eduardo Saverin in The Social Network. One X user joked, 'The concept of Andrew Garfield playing you in a movie about your life so you know you and your company are about to be disgustingly successful. Social Network pipeline studied in film classes.'
Fans pointed out the similarities between the two films, both center on real-life tech figures, boardroom drama, and rapid shifts in power. Garfield's dramatic line, 'I'm coming back for everything,' from The Social Network, is now making the rounds again online.
What is 'Artificial' about?
Artificial is a comedic drama based on real events at OpenAI. It focuses on the 2023 chaos when Sam Altman was briefly fired and then reinstated. Monica Barbaro stars as Mira Murati, and Ike Barinholtz plays Elon Musk. Yura Borisov is cast as Ilya Sutskever.
The movie is being shot across San Francisco, including locations like Dolores Park, the Marina District, and a well-known Bay Area restaurant. Backed by Amazon MGM Studios, the film has a reported USD 40 million budget and is expected to release in 2026.

Woman offers ₹4,000 reward for lost Labubu doll: ‘Took her out drinking and…'
A woman in San Francisco has gone viral after sharing a heartfelt — and slightly humorous — plea for the return of her lost Labubu doll, which she misplaced during a night of heavy drinking. The woman, who turned to Reddit for help, shared a poster featuring photos of the pink doll, known for its quirky appearance, as it explored the city and snacked on popcorn chicken with her. 'I took her out for a night of drinking and now I regret getting too lit,' she admitted in the Reddit post, referring to the toy affectionately as 'Labubu'. She offered a $50 ( ₹ 4,175) reward for anyone who might return the missing doll, and asked those with information to get in touch. 'I know it's a long shot but this is part of my grieving process,' she added, later joking in the thread that Labubus were 'for the delulu'. The post drew a mix of reactions. While many Reddit users expressed sympathy and support, a few took the opportunity to poke fun. 'I know it's hard but just buy another one,' one commenter suggested. Another joked, 'It's probably in Oakland by now being sold for parts.' Screengrab from the viral post. Labubu dolls, known for their odd-yet-cute charm, have gained such popularity online that some are now being resold for over 100 times their original price. Fortunately, the story had a happy ending. A kind-hearted fellow collector stepped in and gave the woman a replacement – a 'Lychee Berry' Labubu, just like the one she lost. Though not the exact same doll, it brought her comfort.

Thiruvananthapuram, The Kerala government on Saturday unveiled a draft film policy at the two-day Malayalam film conclave here, with a focus on establishing a transparent financial framework for the industry and promoting gender equality. Kerala unveils draft film policy; focus on financial framework, gender equality, global presence According to the draft, film production and exhibition will be designated as an industry, enabling access to various incentives and easing financing processes. "The recognition of film production as an industry will bring multiple advantages, enhancing transparency and promoting social responsibility within the sector," the policy stated. The government aims to ensure opportunities for all sections of society to contribute to Malayalam cinema's growth, positioning it as a key global stakeholder and preserving its cultural heritage for future generations. The vision statement outlines the goal of building a strong visual communication ecosystem, ensuring equality across related sectors, and transforming Kerala into a regional production hub by adopting advanced technology and increasing the industry's contribution to the state's GDP. The draft notes that India is the world's largest film producer, with over 2,000 releases annually. Hindi cinema leads with about 400 films a year, followed closely by Malayalam with approximately 300. In 2015, India was the fourth-largest film market globally, with theatrical revenue of USD 2.1 billion. Between 2016 and 2021, the Indian film industry grew at an annual rate of 7.7 per cent. The film industry is optimistic about cinema exhibition prospects this year, with experts estimating theatrical revenue for 2023 in India at around ₹12,000 crore. Kerala alone recorded box office collections exceeding ₹2,000 crore in 2023, the draft said. The policy affirms the government's commitment to continued dialogue with various film industry associations, supporting demands for better wages, job security, medical benefits, and insurance. A general financing incentive scheme for Malayalam cinema will be introduced, with specific provisions for women and marginalised communities. The draft also encourages the production of other Indian languages and foreign films in Kerala. A dedicated film development fund will support promotional and humanitarian initiatives outlined in the policy. A venture capital fund for film production, with private participation and crowdfunding options for socially relevant films, will be created and managed by the Kerala State Film Development Corporation . To promote an equitable work environment, the state will issue detailed guidelines and best practices for the film industry. A single-window film facilitation centre will be established to streamline all shooting-related permits in the state. A Film Development Council, chaired by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and co-chaired by Culture Minister Saji Cherian, with an industry representative as vice-chairman, will be established as the apex body to oversee the development of the film industry. The council will monitor industry activities and recommend policy interventions to the state cabinet as required. The draft policy was distributed among delegates and will be discussed in detail during the two-day conclave, which concludes on Sunday, official sources said.
