Didn’t know it was a horror movie. It feels like the cloning of scary looking permafrost organisms. But am wondering how this ”AI” differs from ordinary CGA. Is Bluesky inventing a scandal instead of asking what technology is ordinary in the industry?

Well, that's a bummer, as I was looking forward to it and now will not see it. Seems like a real waste for him to lose thousands of viewers so he didn't have to pay people to pretend to be the Krays or Thatcher, but if that's what he thinks filmmaking is now, I wish him the best without me.

It’s like some of these braindead people are pretending there was never cgi. oh it’s “good at animals”, Danny? Yes, theft slop is def the only way to have not-real animals onscreen

I appreciate actors live role to role, and turning down work would be hard to do, but can’t their Union boycott productions using AI? They’re in a better position to fight this than a lot of creatives.

There are so many movies coming out every year--literally more than I could possibly watch--so I should thank Boyle for adding one more to the trash pile.

Or hire a couple of twins and an old lady. Films have been getting by with people dressed up as famous people since there were films. No one needs necromancy in their films.

Although to be fair this is a fairly unique problem. Never before has a director been faced with the issue of needing to depict someone on screen who is no longer able to portray themselves. Like, what was my guy to do.

Eh that was distractingly bad and off putting too. We just… don’t need to bring dead folks’ likenesses “back to life” without without genAI!

Thank god we finally have a technology that allows actors to depict other people. Previously this was impossible. If only Shakespeare had this he could have written a play about Julius Caesar.

Actors would never have been involved in the cases he said he used it. Graphic artists would have- CGI. He probably (wrongly) just thought, "Ah, this does the same thing and will save a few thousand."

Ruined the whole movie rather than simply pay a couple actors. The sheer stupidity of these directors. Is SAG going to keep tolerating this treasonous behavior from these traitors?
