When news broke<\/a> that Peacock was canceling Rian Johnson and Natasha Lyonne\u2019s charming murder mystery series\u00a0Poker Face\u00a0a few weeks ago, it was accompanied by a much weirder little tidbit: That Johnson was intending to shop the canceled series around\u2014so far, so normal\u2014except with Peter Dinklage replacing Lyonne in the starring role. It was not clear, beyond Dinklage\u2019s obvious charms as a performer, why this might happen\u2014and, specifically why, were the series somehow miraculously resurrected, Lyonne wouldn\u2019t be caught up in the heavenly event.<\/p>\n

Now Lyonne herself has discussed the news, making it clear that she was pretty clearly hoping to get a break from the life of living lie detector Charlie Cale in order to focus on other gigs. (Albeit in a way where she makes it clear that she\u2019s still a fan of both Johnson, and the series, which she\u2019d remain as an executive producer on.) Talking to\u00a0Deadline<\/a>, Lyonne laid it out clean: \u201cI love Dinklage, I love Rian, and we\u2019ll see what happens. I could pop back up. I really need a few years; if I don\u2019t make a movie before I die, I\u2019ll be very bummed out. So let me just get one feature in the can, and we\u2019ll see\u2026 I love\u00a0Poker Face. I just would like to do a couple of movies for a second, and maybe I\u2019ll see you again.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth remembering that Operation: Dinklage Messiah is an entirely hypothetical concept in any case: Although Johnson has a fair amount of industry clout at the minute\u2014his latest\u00a0Knives Out\u00a0movie,\u00a0Wake Up Dead Man<\/a>, is scoring strong reviews with its sporadic theatrical run ahead of a Netflix release\u2014what he doesn\u2019t have at present is a studio or streamer that actually wants to make more Poker Face.<\/p>\n

As for Lyonne, she also addressed the\u00a0other\u00a0oddity that\u2019s been swirling around her lately\u2014and which touches on that filmmaking she\u2019s so anxious to do. Talking about her upcoming film\u00a0Uncanny Valley<\/a>, Lyonne apparently stressed that it\u2019s moving slowly because she\u2019s taking her stated intent to use \u201cclean\u2019 AI\u2014i.e., ones not trained by scraping huge piles of copyrighted materials\u2014seriously: \u201cWhen you\u2019re not generating in Midjourney, it takes longer, basically, because it\u2019s a team of artists in there. We\u2019re looking at every image and kind of dialing it in. Everything I\u2019ve done is always sort of a five-year span from inception to the touch-and-go cycle of cast coming together with the budget.\u201d Lyonne, who\u2019s signed industry pledges calling for increased safeguards against copyright infringement by AI training, reiterated past comments saying she doesn\u2019t see use of AI tools as antithetical to human creativity: \u201cI think it\u2019s worth remembering that we need hope and new ideas, and to remember that we\u2019re kind of the architects of this moment, and how we all choose to show up for each other is really key.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When news broke that Peacock was canceling Rian Johnson and Natasha Lyonne\u2019s charming murder mystery series\u00a0Poker Face\u00a0a few…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":326919,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75],"class_list":{"0":"post-326918","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-entertainment"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326918","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=326918"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326918\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/326919"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=326918"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=326918"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=326918"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
