Hugh Grant's new horror film, 'Heretic,' specifically mentions in the credits that no generative AI was used in the film, reportedly a first in the industry.
Hugh Grant’s new film, 'Heretic,' has an unexpected announcement about artificial intelligence in the final credits. Variety reported there is a message that says, 'No generative AI was used in the making of this film.' The film's directors, Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, made their feelings about the technology clear in comments with the outlet.
In a statement to Variety, they said, 'In conjunction with our amazing graphics and production design team, all of whom worked tirelessly to give this film the '70s aesthetic we had always imagined, we experimented with AI for three still images, which we edited further and ultimately appear as very brief interstitials in the film. 'If there’s not people to throttle it, we’re going to find ourselves in five to ten years in a very dangerous situation.
The photos depicted scenes not featured in the film and also had certain details common in AI-generated images, such as inaccurately depicting a landmark or showing a car with three doors on one side. In one image, Chicago’s Marina Towers were on opposite sides of the river. Fox News Digital reached out to A24 for comment when the images were first posted, but the studio did not respond.
