In 2023, Joe Russo, one half of the Russo brother directing duo, told Collider that the first AI-created feature film would come in two years. Well, two years later, we’re not quite at that point, but AI has certainly crept its way into Hollywood productions more and more.
Take, for example, the Netflix series about the Canadian woman Jennifer Pan who took out a hit on her parents. The series used an AI-generated image of Jennifer with a big smile and posing with peace signs to show she was a happy-go-lucky girl, even though no such image existed. On the narrative feature side, the AI-generated images in Late Night With the Devil whipped up a small controversy. AI even infiltrated awards season, as The Brutalist used the technology to tweak the vowels of its stars’ Hungarian speech.
