\n\tRoger Avary<\/a> is the latest filmmaker to jump on the generative AI<\/a> bandwagon, announcing his production company General Cinema Dynamics<\/a>\u2018 partnership with Massive AI Studios.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Oscar-winning Pulp Fiction co-writer recently revealed that his Texas-based banner has three AI-driven films \u201cin active production\u201d through the partnership, noting that he previously found it \u201calmost impossible to get a movie going\u201d as an indie director.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAnd then I built a technology company over the last year, basically making AI movies,\u201d he explained. \u201cAnd all of the sudden, boom! Like that, money gets thrown at it. Just by attaching the word AI, and that it\u2019s a technology-based company, all of the sudden, investors came in, and we\u2019re in production on three films now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAvary added, \u201cJust put AI in front of it, and all of the sudden, you\u2019re in production on three features.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe slate includes a family Christmas movie scheduled to premiere later this year, a faith-based feature for Easter 2027, and a \u201cbig romantic war epic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSo many people are against AI,\u201d said Avary. \u201cBut all it is, is visual effects. And I have experience, like with that Beuwolf movie, doing it. And what used to be a million dollars a minute is now $5,000 a minute, to do it really, really well. It looks kind of amazing, actually. I think, for independent cinema, and for the future of film and television production, these are super exciting times.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAvary\u2019s pivot to AI comes after Darren Aronofsky\u2019s studio Primordial Soup released their AI-animated Revolutionary War series<\/a> On This Day \u2026 1776 on Time\u2018s YouTube channel.<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Sen. John Curtis (R-UT) are introducing a bill<\/a> that would require companies to file a notice with the Register of Copyrights that detail the copyrighted works used to train datasets for an AI model. The Copyright Labeling and Ethical AI Reporting Act has been endorsed by SAG-AFTRA, the Writers Guild of America west and east, the Directors Guild of America and more.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe bill stops short of requiring AI companies license copyrighted works for use in training models, something that is the subject of multiple lawsuits brought by authors and creators. That question also is touched upon in litigation brought by Warner Bros., The Walt Disney Co. and NBC Universal against Midjourney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Roger Avary is the latest filmmaker to jump on the generative AI bandwagon, announcing his production company General…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":471157,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[182,181,507,218713,1873,218714,218715,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-471156","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-general-cinema-dynamics","12":"tag-generative-ai","13":"tag-massive-studios","14":"tag-roger-avary","15":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471156","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=471156"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471156\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/471157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=471156"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=471156"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=471156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
