Netflix, A24, Focus Features Pass on Guadagnino's 'Artificial'; Mubi in Pursuit

Several of the buyers who screened Luca Guadagnino's hotly anticipated 'Artificial' in the days after Amazon MGM Studios abruptly dropped the film have passed on acquiring it, sources tell Variety.

Focus Features, Warner Bros.' Clockwork, A24 and Netflix have all stepped away, according to those sources.

But the Sam Altman drama, which is nearly completed, isn't without suitors. Variety has learned that Mubi is pursuing the film, with Neon also possibly circling.
