Why are respected film-makers suddenly embracing AI?

The Guardian

Steven Soderbergh, who has voiced interest in using AI in his films. Steven Soderbergh, who has voiced interest in using AI in his films. Why are respected film-makers suddenly embracing AI? I n Steven Soderbergh's beguiling new movie The Christophers, a reclusive artist (Ian McKellen) tangles with the quiet art forger (Michaela Coel) who his greedy children have hired to secretly finish further entries in a well-known painting series. The movie is smart and provocative about the nature of artistry and authorship, exploring what it means to create - and to stop creating.


1980s child star talks 'Goonies' sequel, music career, and why AI threatens Hollywood's 'magic'

FOX News

Corey Feldman discusses his movie "The Birthday," which wrapped in 2004. "The Goonies" star Corey Feldman is concerned that the rise of artificial intelligence could ruin the "magic" of Hollywood filmmaking. In a new interview with Fox News Digital, the entertainer talked about his decades of being part of the film industry and what he thinks of it today compared to how it was when he was starring in beloved 80s classics like "Goonies," "The Lost Boys" and "The Burbs." When asked if he believes modern Hollywood can still conjure up the same "magic" that led to the creation of these iconic films, he said he wasn't so sure. "Well, I share the opinion that there is a lot of the magic that's been lost because of A.I., because of CGI, because of, you know, these things kind of taking over from the good stories, the great characters that we draw, the great writing," Feldman said.


An original E.T. from 1982 movie could fetch 1M at auction

Popular Science

A collection of sci-fi movie memorabilia is heading to auction and includes one of the most iconic film aliens of all time. As part of the upcoming series, "There Are Such Things: 20th Century Horror, Science Fiction, and Fantasy on Screen," Sotheby's is offering an original, screen-used E.T. full body model seen in Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Designed by the late, great special effects and makeup artist Carlo Rambaldi, the roughly 3-foot-tall piece of pop culture history was used in the famous "closet scene," and is one of just three manufactured during the making of the 1982 movie. While instantly recognizable today, E.T.'s overall look was completely absent from Melissa Mathison's screenplay. Creating the character from scratch came through a collaboration between Spielberg, storyboard artist Ed Verreaux, and Rambaldi.


Netflix's Most Expensive Movie Ever Is Here, and It's a Monumental Disaster

Slate

When he got his first glimpse of a movie studio, Orson Welles excitedly proclaimed it "the biggest electric train set any boy ever had." But with a reported budget of more than 300 million, Joe and Anthony Russo's The Electric State makes Welles' train set look like a busted caboose. The most expensive movie in Netflix's history, it's also among the costliest of all time, joining a list that includes the brothers' own Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. If the Russos are the most profligate creators in history--their Amazon series Citadel is also one of the most expensive TV shows ever made--they're among the most successful too. And yet for all the money they're making, and all that they're allowed to spend, they don't seem to be enjoying themselves very much.


Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: a video game that will whip film fans into a frenzy

The Guardian

It's the spring of 1977, and George Lucas is petrified. Having just wrapped work on his third feature film, Star Wars, he retreats to Hawaii, unable to face the early reviews. Yet as he frets in a five-star resort, Lucas bumps into another Hollywood hideaway – Steven Spielberg. The hero's moniker certainly benefited from some finessing, and the action-packed Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) raked in 354m at the box office. Yet as great as Indy's influence was on cinema, it might have had an even bigger one on video games.


Steven Spielberg heaps on the praise on blockbuster - 'One of the most brilliant science-fiction films I've ever seen'

Daily Mail - Science & tech

A new top-grossing film that has received global recognition for its cinematic prowess is now being revered by the most successful director of the century. Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg recently proclaimed Dune: Part Two as a'visual epic' in a new interview, calling it'one of the most brilliant science-fiction films I've ever seen.' Spielberg said his favorite scene in the Blockbuster was watching Timothée Chalamet - who plays Paul Atreides - ride a sandworm. Spielberg has also lavished praise on Denis Villeneuve who directed both Dune films, saying Villeneuve's name will be added to the list of sci-fi filmmakers who have built incredible and unique worlds. 'You have made one of the most brilliant science fiction films I have ever seen,' adding that it'is truly a visual epic and it's also filled with deeply, deeply drawn characters,' Spielberg told Villeneuve in the Director's Cut podcast: Dune: Part Two cleared 82.5 million in its opening weekend, surpassing Oppenheimer which brought in 82.4 million. Since its release, the film has grossed nearly 240 million at the domestic box office and 570 million globally.


At the "Oppenheimer" Oscars, Hollywood Went in Search of Lost Time

The New Yorker

This wasn't the first year that the Academy Awards fell on the second Sunday in March, forcing the good citizens of Hollywood to manage their hair appointments and limousine pickups around the annual scourge that is daylight-saving time. Even so, the ninety-sixth annual Oscars ceremony wrought more than its expected share of havoc on schedules. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, hoping to broaden its reach among those with strict curfews and short attention spans, opted to kick off the show at the previously unheard-of time of 4 P.M. Or, as this year's host, Jimmy Kimmel, quipped in his opening monologue, "The show, as you know, is starting an hour early this year, but don't worry. It will still end very, very late." Such temporal dislocation was surely a good omen, not that any were needed, for Christopher Nolan and "Oppenheimer."
