The film, about AI and Sam Altman, screened at Royal Festival Hall after its New York world premiere a week earlier.
Luca Guadagnino's film 'Artificial' had its U.K. premiere at the London Film Festival on Sunday, with Guadagnino and cast members Andrew Garfield and Yura Borisov receiving applause at Royal Festival Hall.
The London screening followed the world premiere of 'Artificial' a week earlier at the New York Film Festival.
Neon acquired global rights to 'Artificial' after Amazon MGM dropped it. In June, Amazon MGM removed the film from its summer slate, saying it would be better served by a different studio.
In July, New York magazine published a piece citing individuals close to the project who said it lacked theater-worthy criteria, and an anonymous-source whisper campaign dismissed the film as only worthy of a streaming release. Neon rescued the movie with a global rights deal shortly after the Amazon rift.
At New York Comic Con last weekend, Nicolas Cage said he refused to sign an AI likeness waiver on the canceled series 'Spider-Noir,' and said he probably would not work with that studio again.
