The Joe Rogan Experience<\/a>, Avary described the traditional film financing system as effectively inaccessible to him. \u201cI go out there and try to get stuff made, and it\u2019s almost impossible,\u201d he said, explaining that conventional routes no longer seem to be an option.<\/p>\nThat changed after he launched his AI-focused production banner, General Cinema Dynamics. According to Avary, simply positioning the company as a technology-driven, AI-based venture unlocked immediate investor interest. \u201cAll of a sudden, boom, like that, money gets thrown at it,\u201d he said. \u201cJust by attaching the word \u2018AI\u2019\u2026 investors came in, and we\u2019re in production on three films now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Those projects include a family Christmas film slated for theaters this holiday season, a \u201cfaith-based\u201d release timed for Easter, and what Avary describes as a large-scale romantic war epic.<\/p>\n
Avary admitting all this will no doubt trigger many, after all, it arrives amid growing anxiety in Hollywood over AI\u2019s long-term impact. Darren Aronofsky did not make any friends in the industry for making \u201cOn This Day\u2026 1776,\u201d his multi-part animated web series from AI studio Primordial Soup. Concern only intensified this week when a viral clip\u2014generated from a short prompt using Seedance 2.0\u2014depicted Tom Cruise fighting Brad Pitt in a hyper-realistic video.<\/p>\n
Now, don\u2019t get me wrong: a vocal majority of the industry is firmly against AI. But there have also been some notable filmmakers\u2014most older veterans\u2014who have actually come out in support of AI usage in \u201ccinema.\u201d Joining Avary and Aronofsky have been the likes of Roger Deakins, Brady Corbet, Michael Mann, Paul Schrader, Werner Herzog, and George Miller.<\/p>\n
It should also be mentioned that Doug Liman is about to shoot his next film entirely on AI-generated stages. Oh, and Michael Mann has teased using AI for de-aging purposes on his upcoming \u201cHeat 2,\u201d which might be the same technology George Miller used on \u201cFuriosa.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Roger Avary, the Oscar-winning co-writer of \u201cPulp Fiction\u201d and Quentin Tarantino\u2019s podcast co-host, says the rise of artificial…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":428000,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[554,733,4308,86,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-427999","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-technology","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/427999","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=427999"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/427999\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/428000"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=427999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=427999"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=427999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
