In 2023, Secret Invasion used AI art in its opening sequence, Damon Lindelof made a whole show about a nun fighting a massively popular AI, and Ethan Hunt fought an evil AI in Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning. Now, two years later, AI has quickly evolved to a major player — and, possibly, competitor — in Hollywood. Variety reports that Natasha Lyonne will direct Uncanny Valley, a movie that blends traditional filmmaking with “Ethical” AI usage. After fan backlash, Toei clarified that while they hope to implement these AI usages in the future, as it stands, there is no AI being used in production at all. But we may just see a sea change in how Hollywood treats AI, at least until we see some finished products.
