Movie list/culture war ping.

Note: the director of this AI generated “docudrama is from Tehran. The film is apparently anti-regime and pro-the demonstrators. He may be one of the good guys, as most of us pick sides. I may like what he produces substantively.

The larger issue, however, is the technology that is now escaping the Pandora’s Box. And the possible death of movies will be a symptom of a much larger collapse.

How can something be live action and AI generated?

So, as it is now, as long as the AI generated “stars” remain a-political, it could be a win. Has SAG weighed in? Loss of income. I hear the AI “stars” work cheap. 🤔😳😂👍

I don’t see it as other than another form of animation.

I hear you. There will always be a market for true actors and real directors and film crew; but it will be rarer and harder; much harder.
