American History X director Tony Kaye is hoping to cast an artificial intelligence actor as the lead of his new film. According to Deadline, the British film-maker has made the unprecedented decision to employ a robot over a human for his next project, titled 2nd Born. The android will be trained in various techniques and a variety of acting methods and Kaye hopes it will lead to recognition by the Screen Actors Guild which could also lead to awards consideration. The idea is a joint effort from Kaye and producer Sam Khoze. The film is a sequel to comedy 1st Born starring Val Kilmer and Denise Richards, the first ever Iranian-American co-production.
