Virtual actress Tilly Norwood, who has not been cast in a film since her career was launched in autumn 2025, may finally be getting her breakthrough role – despite Hollywood’s disdain.<\/p>\n
Norwood’s creator, the studio Particle 6, has said it will make a feature film for her to star in, a film that will be produced entirely using artificial intelligence (AI) – with a hand from human writers, human technicians, and human actors.<\/p>\n
The film’s title, Misaligned, refers to the struggle to make AI align with human values and goals.<\/p>\n
“AI can support premium narrative filmmaking, but only with substantial amounts of human craft, skill, judgement, and time. That’s not a limitation of the technology. That’s the point,” said Particle 6 CEO and founder Eline van der Velden.<\/p>\n
“The filmmakers who thrive in the next decade will be the ones who bring decades of storytelling instinct to these new tools, and Misaligned is where we put that to work at feature scale.”<\/p>\n
A Particle 6 spokesperson told AFP it is too early to discuss distribution – cinemas or streaming – or a release date.<\/p>\n
Hollywood’s unions and leading actors, including Scarlett Johansson, Cate Blanchett, and others, have called for limits on the use of AI and its generative tools on copyrighted artistic work without express permission.<\/p>\n
