Pictures<\/p>\n<p>A recent attempt to market David Robert Mitchell\u2019s upcoming \u201cThe End of Oak Street\u201d film opening this coming week has seemingly backfired.<\/p>\n<p>The studio released an AI-generated 90-second clip on Instagram featuring a golden retriever named Goldie and French bulldog named Frenchie interviewing Starbuck, the dog from the upcoming film, which stars Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor.<\/p>\n<p>The clip was made in collaboration with \u2018pawdcast\u2019 DogPack, an account out of Montreal in which four brothers write comedy short scripts and then use AI generation tools to animate talking dogs.  Their clips have gone viral on social media.<\/p>\n<p>This clip, however, has generated talk for the wrong reasons.  A large backlash is on both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/movies\/comments\/1vjak0v\/warner_bros_uses_ai_dog_podcast_to_promote_the\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Reddit<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/i\/trending\/2086099928665976925\" rel=\"nofollow\">X<\/a> with confusion and rejection of the use of \u2018AI slop\u2019 involving dogs to promote a movie that\u2019s basically about a suburban neighbourhood dealing with dinosaurs.<\/p>\n<p>Various responses suggest it has had the opposite of its intended effect and has immediately turned people off from seeing the film.<\/p>\n<p>The reaction was severe enough that Warner Bros. Pictures has seemingly removed the clip from its official Instagram account for the movie; nonetheless, it\u2019s still floating out there online, including on the DogPack\u2019s account.<\/p>\n<p>J.J. Abrams produced the film, which opens in cinemas on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Previous article<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/x-men-97-now-set-for-annual-releases\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cX-Men \u201997\u201d Now Set For Annual Releases<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next article<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/paramounts-ellison-sets-a-90-movie-agreement\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Paramount\u2019s Ellison Sets A 90 Movie Agreement<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Warner Bros.
