Back in mid-June, Amazon MGM Studios made headlines for dumping Luca Guadagnino’s movie “Artificial”. Garfield tells Variety, “I was, and I wasn’t surprised,” but won’t go so far as to be critical of Amazon’s conduct. He added, “They were nothing but supportive and nothing but encouraging while we were making the film”. He adds that both he and Guadagnino have maintained strong relationships with Amazon executives and calls the split a simple mismatch: “There are certain things that fit certain places and don’t fit other places.” NEON picked up the $40 million-budgeted film with plans for an awards-qualifying run later this year.
