A new film directed by Doug Liman and starring Pete Davidson and Casey Affleck will use artificial intelligence to subtly alter actor performances and generate set elements. The film, about an investigative reporter exploring the world of cryptocurrency and the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, has raised concerns with its casting notice which stated that the use of AI might be included. Producers have since clarified the extent of AI usage, emphasizing it will only be for minor adjustments and not to replace actors.
An upcoming movie by director Doug Liman and set to star Pete Davidson and Casey Affleck has published a notice that artificial intelligence will be used to “adjust” actor performances and to create set locations and backgrounds.
, will follow the story of an investigative reporter who jumps into the secretive world of cryptocurrency and seeks to uncover the real identity of Bitcoin’s mysterious founder, who is only known under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto.The notice informs potential cast members that the producers are reserving the right to “change, add to, take from, translate, reformat or reprocess” the work of those they hire as actors and that actors might have their performances changed with “generative artificial intelligence and/or machine learning technologies.” However, producers also say that AI will not be used to completely recreate an actor’s likeness and voice. It will only be used to “tweak” performances with minor adjustments. “They won’t be made to say anything they didn’t say but let’s say the way they said it in conjunction with the movement doesn’t look perfect, you wouldn’t need to reshoot it. We’d just use AI to make it look better,” a source on the film told the magazine. “We were very cautious, sensitive and overly protective of our actors to make sure we only use performance capture AI which means that we will not have any AI-generated actors that do not exist. AI is a tool we’re using to make the filmmaking process more efficient while maintaining all department heads’ jobs, all actor jobs and hopefully helping to grow the industry in a positive way,” producer Ryan Kavanaugh toldWhile the casting notice said that actors may expect to be seen on screen alongside AI-created characters, producers have since said this is not true, that all actors in the film will be real humans, and that the claim in the casting call was added in by accident. Finally, producers also say that the actors will be performing in front of a green screen and that AI will be used to create all set locations and backgrounds. The casting notice came just ahead of a new raft of hyper-realistic videos by Chinese AI company Seedance 2.0 which has sent many in Hollywood to worry that AI will be replacing most humans in the entertainment industry.
