Every day that goes by it becomes more timely. I\u2019ve just got to get it cast. I\u2019ve got Wagner Moura. I need a few more people,\u201d he said. \u201cI have two studios circling, but it\u2019s all about how much I can do it for. But if I can get the right cast together, that will eventize it, and people will feel they have to see it now rather than waiting two months until it streams. It\u2019s a weird time to be making movies.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tEarlier in the interview, the director noted that he was using AI for his upcoming John Lennon and Yoko Ono documentary, and that it\u2019d been \u201chelpful in creating thematically surreal images that occupy a dream space rather than a literal space,\u201d though it still \u201cdesperately requires very close human supervision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\t\u201cI\u2019ve been working with AI lately on the John Lennon and Yoko Ono documentary that we\u2019re almost done with. AI has been helpful in creating thematically surreal images that occupy a dream space rather than a literal space,\u201d Soderbergh noted. \u201cAnd that\u2019s been really fun because you need a Ph.D. in literature to tell it what to do. But like every other piece of technology, it desperately requires very close human supervision.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Steven Soderbergh is planning to utilize artificial intelligence for a movie he has in the works with Wagner&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":389102,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[220,17629,218,219,61,60,8685,80],"class_list":{"0":"post-389101","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artifical-intelligence","10":"tag-artificial-intelligence","11":"tag-artificialintelligence","12":"tag-ie","13":"tag-ireland","14":"tag-steven-soderbergh","15":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389101","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=389101"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/389101\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/389102"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=389101"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=389101"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=389101"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
