Written by Simon Rich, the film was produced by Guadagnino, Rich, David Heyman, Jeffrey Clifford and Jennifer Fox. It was shot in San Francisco and Italy with an original score and songs by Damon Albarn.

Amazon MGM Studios had previously announced it would not release the movie. Neon plans to enter Artificial in this year's Oscar race.
