Nice to meet you brother.
Odysseus, is that you?
surprising the director of la haine is clearly not a pessimist
Remember when every movie just HAD to be 3D?
it’s been the same since cinema existed. Hollywood finds a trend that is popular and then runs it into the ground. 3D films. Star Wars clones. Slashers and Action movies in the 80s. Die Hard Clones, Disaster Movies, and Teen movies of the 90s. Hell back when Charlie Chaplin was making movies studios were pumping out knock offs like you wouldn’t believe. the “Beach Movies” of the 60s. The Western. so on and so forth. And of course recently adaptations of 80s toys and comics.
So yeah there will be a few AI only movies for awhile until the audience eventually gets sick of them and then Hollywood pivots to a new trend.
I fully agree here.
Yet still wondering why the “outcast goes on crazy adventure and discovers inner strength” animated dreck hasn’t run its course.
I remember it like the Metaverse. Or NFTs.
I’m still convinced these statements will age like milk.
In a few years people won’t care if their milk is AI, I heard it from an expert whose salary depends on him taking this position
Nobody’s going to know who this guy is in 2 years. I already don’t.
I didn’t realize he was that guy. He made a few good movies 20 years ago when he was young and rebellious, but he’s been a nobody for a very ling time.
More laughs for me.
Agreed, but uh… Nobody’s* (as in, nobody is. Not plural of nobody)

In this interview, Kassowitz misses the point entirely. He talks at length about how “AI steals, but it’s fine, we all steal, great art is made by stealing…” my bro we are aware. That is not the issue at all. (I mean, that’s one issue)
We (humanity) want to make art, we want to act, to paint, to sing, for fuck’s sake. Delegating creation of all things is missing the point because that’s not something you want to automate, unless you have some vested interest in getting rid of the “middleman” (=the artist).
Furthermore, it’s giving up the political power of art to corporations : manufacturing consent will never be as easy as with generative AI.Once again, Blade Runner wasn’t supposed to be an inspiration. Fuck off to mars, Kassowitz
Yeah, just like all movies are 3d now.
Directors must be salivating at the idea of actors who never say “I’m cold” or “that’s dangerous” or “you’re a hack.”
Or “Pay me!”
Remember how all these shitty directors were predicting that people wouldn’t care about practical effects anymore after that advent of environmental CG in the 90’s?
People notice. Yes we care.

Movie director: ‘Because of AI, I no longer need actors anymore’
Film producer: ‘Because of AI, I no longer need writers and directors anymore’
AI Companies ‘Because of AI, I no longer need movie studios anymore’
Public: ‘Because of AI, I no longer need to bother with movies anymore’
🙁
It amazes me when people advocate for their replacement. Every single person in all industries should be saying “fuck ai”
It’s almost like people see “don’t comply in advance” and think that it means “except for me!” or it will somehow benefit them if they do it anyway.
The latter, presumably, being the reason people love licking boots, boosting wealth hoarders, voting against their interests, etc. They’ll get some crumbs from the table if they do it hard enough, surely.
If this were true, we’d see a lot more animation, the reality is actors are important to the creative process otherwise and the director having to micromanage ai (or let it just produce averages) is only good for producing slop (which admittedly is a lot of what Netflix puts out).
I would say theater is an even bigger indicator. People want to see people do amazing things.
Some of the best parts of a movie is where the actor is improvising. AI made movies would most likely just stick to the script and feel flat and boring.
Good luck with that, I guess
