What This Casting News Means For Luca Guadagnino’s Artificial
Actress Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez in A Complete Unknown.
At this point,one would assume that we are talking about who will be playing supporting characters inArtificial,as more established Hollywood stars have already been announced and are presumably taking on the most prominent roles. However, if this is to be a fully-fledged workplace drama about the AI industry, it should be filled with many compelling office employees.
And this batch of actors is also bringing experience toArtificialthat could turn a small role into something indispensable.Of particular note is Will Price, who is returning to collaborate with Guadagnino after featuring inAfter the Hunt,suggesting that the director wants to give the actor more screentime.
Angus Imrie is known for playing a younger Prince Edward in a few episodes ofThe Crown, as well as Agent Charlie inMickey 17, meaning he has both straightforward drama and more comedic drama experience. Horror fans will also be excited to seeIt’s Nicholas Hamilton prove himself in a new genre.
Our Take On Artificial’s New Cast Members
These casting choices forArtificialsuggest that the director and producers are seriously contemplating who will play every character,which is vital if Guadagnino wants to maintain the overall quality of his filmography. This new AI-driven picture could also be a major leap forward in the career of any of these up-and-coming stars.
It also means that I will be on the lookout for Price when I go to seeAfter the Hunt(the character currently being unnamed). It is very exciting to seeLuca Guadagninoworking with new actors like Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebiri, and in Garfield’s case, bringing him back forArtificial. However, one of these relatively unknown actors may be a new major collaborator.
